#2 Paulo Dybala - Juventus - 20 points

Juventus v Torino FC - Serie A
*****

Despite his current stature in the game, Paulo Dybala has never been much of a goal-scorer, having never exceeded 20 league goals in any season of his entire career. However, ever since the Argentine striker has received the iconic #10 shirt of Juventus, he's been racking up goals, scoring 10 so far in just 6 appearances in the Bianconeri shirt.

What's more impressive is that Dybala has only completed the full 90 minutes thrice, playing 466 of Juve's 540 minutes in the league. The Argentine has already scored two hat-tricks this season, away to Genoa and Sassuolo, but it was his brace in the Turin derby that was the most impressive.

With Gonzalo Higuain struggling to find the net this season, Dybala's form could not have come at at better moment for Juve. Given the difficulty of scoring in Serie A, Dybala may struggle to be at the top end of the Golden Shoe race come the end of the season, but then again, the world is at the 23-year-old's feet.
