Still backing Villa or Messi but Forlan could take some catching this year

[Antimilan]

Konko !!!!

The mofo had 3 great scoring chances against Depor... funny !

[Wolfe]

I'm not really convinced with Villa being in the top 5 together with Messi. I would probably go for Forlan, the safest option.

GOALS

Nilmar FC 4
Diego Forlán 3
Fernando Llorente 3
David Trezeguet 3
Salomón Rondón 3
Raúl Tamudo 3
Giuseppe Rossi 3

[La Furia]

Really interesting to see Nilmar take the lead considering he typically looks like crap, but credit Villarreal for making every game a goalfest.

The "big guns" are absent...for the time being...

Forlan?

I don't think it's going to be Messi, Villa or Higuan tbh. Barcelona needs "democratic" scoring if we really want to keep it up, Madrid is going through the first year of Mourinho offensive ineptitude. With Villa forced to bear the stress of Barcelona, Forlan has a good shot to surpass him as La Liga's most consistent striker, though I expect in both cases good but not record breaking output. I think we are set for a one season wonder or a good player taking advantage of a very good situation. I think Llorente is an appealing option. Aduriz and Soldado along with Nilmar and Rossi will probably suffer from equity in the long run, and I doubt Rondon, Tamudo and Trezegol will be able to avoid dry spells on such mid table teams.

Messi will win it

Messi will win it

Prolly easily...

[Aasim]

I think its between Messi and Forlan with Higuain, Villa and Llorente after them.

[Wolfe]

Higuain doesn't have a chance. He won't score as regularly as he used to last season, Benzema is quite likely to outplay him IMO. Messi, Forlan, Llorente and Aguero, maybe Soldado and Villa too.
