Bas Dost | Sporting | 27 goals (40.5 pts)

Catalan outfit Girona finished a more than respectable ninth in La Liga this season and a key part of that was the form of Uruguay international Cristhian Stuani.

Cristhian Stuani | Girona | 21 goals (42 pts)

Argentina international Sergio Aguero has consistently been one of the best goalscorers in Europe over the course of the past decade and he remains a key man for Manchester City under Pep Guardiola.

Cavani hit more than any other Ligue 1 player and was a constant force in PSG's title-winning side.
