#1 Radamel Falcao - AS Monaco - 22 points
Falcao's resurgence has gone quietly unnoticed by most of the European football universe, but now that Kylian Mbappe isn't grabbing the headlines at AS Monaco this season, the spotlight is finally coming back on El Tigre.

The Colombian striker has scored 11 goals in 7 games this season, and now that goals in Ligue 1 are rated at a factor of 2.0 (instead of 1.5 previously, when Zlatan Ibrahimovic was around), the Colombian has a real chance of winning the title.
What's been impressive about Falcao is the fact that he's scored in every single game bar the 4-0 reverse against OGC Nice - it's the sort of consistent scoring that will see him dominate the scoring charts this season.
People might point to Edinson Cavani, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe at PSG being contenders, but since Falcao is the sole focal point of Monaco's attack, he stands a better chance of winning the European Golden Shoe come the end of the season.
