#2 Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)

Salah is no longer a one season wonder

Anyone who thought Salah was a one-season wonder has been proven wrong by the 12 goals he's scored so far this season.

In order to tighten up his defence, Klopp has sometimes abandoned the 4-3-3 system that he used to devastating effect in the Champions League last term, in favour of a more conservative 4-2-3-1.

The German manager has used Salah as the central striker in this formation, dropping Firmino to a playmaking role behind the Egyptian. This has brought out the best in the 26-year-old, allowing him to take centre-stage.

A shoulder injury sustained against Real Madrid in the Champions League final last season, and an underwhelming World Cup campaign with Egypt have done nothing to affect his club form.

After winning the FIFA Puskas Award in controversial fashion, Salah went on to register his first hat-trick of the season in a 4-0 win over Bournemouth.

With Liverpool opening up a 6 point lead at the top of the table, Salah will continue his incredible goalscoring form, and you wouldn't bet against him winning a second successive Golden Boot at the end of the season.
