#4 Fabio Quagliarella (Italy, Sampdoria)
When Cristiano Ronaldo moved to Italy, he was expected to run away with the Golden Boot. However, a certain Italian Striker playing for Sampdoria had other ideas.
Fabio Quagliarella has 21 goals from 27 games in the Serie A - 2 more than Ronaldo and is leading the race to the Serie A Golden Boot this season. The Italian has also registered 7 assists in the Serie A and should give the Portuguese a run for the money. For the record, he turned 36 in January this year!
#3 Fernandinho (Brazil, Manchester City)
The Brazilian is an integral part of Manchester City's tactics and has been phenomenal once again for his club this season. Fernandinho is one of the best passers of the Premier League and he carries out the dirty work for his team with extreme elegance.
Fernandinho is 33 years old now - he turns 34 in May this year. If those legs might get a little tired at the end of the games, it does not show. Because the Brazilian has rarely lost a battle in the midfield this season and is one of the reasons why City have been in devastating form this year.
Despite being on a defensive role, the Brazilian has scored a goal and picked up 3 assists from 34 appearances this season.
