Goals - 12 (24 points)

Unarguably one of the best loan signings of the season, Paco Alcacer has been nothing short of spectacular since his loan transfer from Barcelona. Having struggled to nail down a regular spot at Camp Nou for two seasons, the 25-year-old has become a darling at the Wesfalenstadion.

Since his arrival in Germany, Alcacer has taken to the Bundesliga like a Fish to water, looking nothing like the player who struggled for form and confidence at Barcelona.

So far this season, he has scored 12 league goals in 502 minutes played (at an astonishing ratio of 42 minutes/goal) to stay joint-top of the scorers' chart in Germany, as well as keep Dortmund top of the standings (six points clear of Bayern Munich). It came as no surprise when the club activated its option of making the two-year loan deal permanent barely four months into the contract.
