Belarus Premier League (x1.5)

19 goals - 28.5 points

Ilia Shkurin finished the just concluded season of the Belarusian Premier League as the top scorer, with 19 goals scored from 26 matches.

This was enough to help his club Energetik-BGU Minsk to 12th place finish but it is highly unlikely that he would remain this high in the standing upon the conclusion of the leagues in mainstream Europe.


5. Timo Werner (Red Bull Leipzig)

German Bundesliga (x2)

15 goals - 30 points

Timo Werner made a name for himself as a teenager in the Bundesliga and became the youngest player to make 100, 150, and 200 appearances in the German top-flight, while he is also the youngest to score two goals in a single Bundesliga game. Since then, he has grown in stature and is now the first-choice striker for the German national team.

This season, he has scored 15 goals from 14 league matches to help RB Leipzig to second spot on the league table, while he has also chipped in with two goals from five matches in the Champions League.
