Edin Dzeko has to be the most underrated strikers in the world at the moment. The Bosnian is the only player ever to score 50 goals in three of Europe’s Top 5 leagues!

Dzeko had a successful stint with Wolfsburg before he joined Manchester City in January 2011. He played a big role in helping Manchester City win the league title in 11/12 and 13/14 by scoring some crucial goals towards the end of the season. In fact, it was Dzeko who scored the equalizing goal against QPR in the final game of the 11/12 season before Sergio Aguero scored the famous winner.
