Total Points: 728
3. David Villa

Goal/Shot: 13.5 percent
Total Points: 457

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.

5. Sergio Aguero
5 of 11
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
6 of 11
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
7 of 11
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
8 of 11
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
9 of 11
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
10 of 11
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
Goals/Shots: 7.9 percent
Total Points: 311
