Lionel Messi is the reigning La Liga Golden Boot winner

#6 Roger Marti (Spain, Levante)

Goals Scored: 6

The Spanish striker continued his good start to the season, with an eventful October that sees him rise one place to 6th this time. Marti finished September by starting from the bench against Alaves, a game where he played no part as Levante won 2-1.

At the start of October, Marti was not selected in the squad for the game against Getafe, which Levante won 1-0. He was, however, selected to start the game at the Bernabeu against Real Madrid, where he scored the winning penalty in the 13th minute. Marti scored again in the very next game, this time against Leganes at home, as Levante won 2-0.

Marti has now scored 6 goals from 8 games already this season, even though he has complete the full 90 minutes in only 3 of those games. Marti is currently Levante's top scorer so far this season, scoring a bulk of their 16 goals and he is currently 6th in the race for the La Liga Golden Boot at the start of November

Inspired by Diego Maradona, Deepungsu played as an attacking midfielder for his local club at subdivision level in his initial years and scored an important goal or two.

Unsurprisingly, his favorite manager is Sir Alex Ferguson and the Scotsman helped him get through some of the toughest days of his life.
