#3 Cristhian Stuani (Uruguay, Girona FC)
Goals Scored - 12
Trending
The Uruguayan had faltered in December, which had seen him drop down in the race. January did not bring a change of luck for Stuani and as a result he had slipped down to third at the start of February.
His discipline has been a problem of late and it would come to haunt him at the turn of the new year. Stuani failed to score in the first game of the month against Levante, but picked up a yellow card in the 35th minute. He gave his team the lead against Alaves in the next game, only for the game to end in a draw. He picked up his 5th yellow card of the season in the 61st minute and missed the following game against Real Betis, which Girona lost.
He was back in the starting eleven against Barcelona, but failed to score as his team lost 0-2. With 12 goals from 18 games, Stuani is third in the race to the La Liga Golden Boot at the start of Feruary. He is averaging a goal every 123 minutes played, but will need a strong showing this month to close the gap to the top.
