Lewandowski was the Bundesliga top scorer in the 2017/18 season and missed only 4 games in the 34 game season. The Polish captain was the top scorer with 29 goals ahead of Nils Petersen who scored a total of 15 goals in 32 appearances. It is only a surprise that he wasn't included in the list, as he has been a frequent inclusion in the past few years.

Most sports analysts say that Lewandowski's performance in the Bundesliga is completely one-sided, as there was no tough fight given by any of the teams in the league. His performance in the World Cup was nothing that the Polish International can be proud of.

In addition, his current performance with Bayern Munich isn't something great as well, as he has scored only 5 goals this season and Bayern ranks second behind Lewandowski's former club Borussia Dortmund.
