2. Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool)
Games played: 17 (2)
Goals: 18
Assists: 5
Goals + assists: 23
Despite criticism for being selfish in the final third (as the occasional on-pitch strops from his strike partner Luis Suarez suggest), Sturridge has actually assisted five goals already this term.
When you combine this with his 18 goals in just 17 starts, we have one of the statistically best forwards in European football this term.
The Englishman’s pace is exceptional, but his finishing is becoming increasingly composed and clinical.
