#18 Bas Dost | Sporting | 27 goals (40.5 pts)

striker Bas Dost was narrowly beaten by Lionel Messi in last season's race for the Golden Shoe and was once among the top scorers in Europe again this season. The international had been linked with a move away from the Portuguese giants, but opted to remain and was a key man once again in the current campaign, although he could not keep up with the irrepressible Jonas.
