Borna KolbadiMay 15, 2011

Aside from Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, there are some other players that have been on fire this season and will probably move on to bigger teams next season.

The top 10 biggest goal threats in La Liga were chosen with detailed statistics.

A score ranking was used, and the following elements were calculated:

  • 10 points per goal
  • Six points per assist
  • Two points per shot on goal
  • One point per shot

All data has been taken from espn.com

Ronaldo, Real Madrid, is the top scorer of the league so far and, unless Messi scores five or more goals in the two games remaining, he will be the top scorer this season.

He has scored 36 goals and assisted eight times.

He's seen 14.9 percent of his shots have turned into goals.

Rossi (Villareal) has been having another great season, and despite not being in Real or Barca, he has turned heads with his great performances.

The ex-Manchester United forward has score 18 and assisted five goals.

He has 52 shots on target out of the 133 shots, 39.1 percent

His goal/shot rate is 13.5 percent.

Total Points: 447

Aguero (Atletico Madrid) has also had a great season and has provided Atletico Madrid with much needed goals while Forlan has failed to perform well this season.

Goals: 17

Assists: Two

Shots on goal/Shots: 50-of-112, 44.6 percent

Goal/Shots: 15.2 percent

Total Points: 394 

6. Fernando Llorente

It is no surprise that Llorente (Ahletic Club Bilbao) has been linked with a move to Barca, Real and many other top European clubs. He has been on top form for most the season, and it is thanks to him that Bilbao will probably play in Europa league next season.

Goals: 17 

Assists: Two 

Shots on Goal/Shots: 45-of-115, 39.1 percent

Goals/Shots: 14.8 percent

Total Points: 387

7. Alvaro Negredo

Negredo has turned into the complete striker for Sevilla this season and has been performing above expectations. This explains why Jose Mourinho might use the buy-back option in Negredo's contract to bring him back to Madrid.

Goals: 17 

Assists: Five 

Shots on Goal/Shots: 38-of-104, 36.5 percent

Goals/Shots: 16.3 percent

Total Points: 380

8. Roberto Soldado

One of the players that was expected to score many goals this season is Soldado, and he certainly has not disappointed us. Valencia has been the best of the rest this season, and that is thanks to the great goalscoring ability of Soldado.

Goals: 17 

Assists: Three 

Shots on Goal/Shots: 41-of-77, 53.2 percent

Goals/Shots: 22.1 percent

Total Points: 347

9. Karim Benzema

Even though Jose Mourinho started the season with no trust in Benzema, he has turned into a consistent performer for Real Madrid and whenever given the chance he has done well.

Goals: 13 

Assists: Five 

Shots on Goal/Shots: 44-of-78, 56.4 percent

Goals/Shots: 16.6 percent

Total Points: 326

10. Diego Forlan

Forlan (Atletico Madrid), who was the best player of the 2010 FIFA World Cup and one of the best players in La Liga and Europa League last season, has been out of form this season.

Whether it's the fatigue of playing so long without a break or his age catching up, the performances of this season have been subpar to his standards.

Goals: Eight 

Assists: Five 

Shots on Goal/Shots: 50-of-101, 29.5 percent
