Suarez narrowly edges out Diego Costa in the battle for the striker postion. The Uruguayan has his fair share of critics, however he continues to prove why he is one of the world's best when it comes to kicking the ball into the net.

After starting the season quietly, Suarez has found his footing back and has now scored seven goals in 11 league appearances. El Pistolero has also scored three goals in the Champions League, with a shot accuracy of 73%. Though he might well be approaching the twilight years of his career, Suarez remains prolific as always and is an asset for any team.
