Bayern Munich are blessed to have Robert Lewandowski at their disposal. The Polish striker has been outstanding for the Bavarian club ever since he joined them in 2014.

His arrival helped Bayern Munich win the Bundesliga for seven consecutive seasons. The Bavarians are on their way to winning their eighth one this campaign.

Lewandowski is a goal-scoring machine, having scored 329 goals in 358 appearances for the German giants in all competitions.

The 33-year old has already scored 35 goals in 29 matches across all competitions this season. Out of these strikes, four have come from set-pieces.


#2 Pau Torres (Villarreal)

Pau Torres is one of the finest defenders in Europe right now. He came through the ranks at Villarreal and remains loyal to the club to date.

The Spanish defender was in high demand during last summer's transfer window, but a move never materialized. His timely tackles, smart reading and positioning, combined with superb aerial strength, make him a valuable asset at the back for any club.

Torres has scored four goals in 28 games for Villarreal across all competitions this season, all of which came from set-pieces.


#1 Andrei Girotto (Nantes)

Andrei Girotto went under multiple loan spells early in his career but has settled with Nantes since joining them in 2016. He played a lot of football in Brazil before moving to play in Ligue 1.

The 29-year-old likes to play as a defensive midfielder but can be quite helpful even as a center-back.

Girotto has been surprisingly productive in front of goal this season. He has scored five goals in 25 appearances across all competitions for Nantes so far, all of which have come during set-pieces.
