Who will win the Golden Boot this season? How many will the best strikers score in the league? Make your predictions here. To help you out, here's last season's top 10 (league goals only):



1 Nicolas Anelka Chelsea 19
2 Cristiano Ronaldo Manchester United 18
3 Steven Gerrard Liverpool 16
4 Robinho Manchester City 14
= Fernando Torres Liverpool 14
6 Gabriel Agbonlahor Aston Villa 12
= Darren Bent Tottenham Hotspur 12
= Kevin Davies Bolton Wanderers 12
= Dirk Kuyt Liverpool 12
= Frank Lampard Chelsea 12
= Wayne Rooney Manchester United 12
 
Torres (20)
Drogba - (20)
Anelka (17)
Bent   (17)
Rooney (17)
Robinho (16)
Defoe (16)
RVP (15)
Adebayor (15)
Gerrard (14)
Tevez (13)
Lampard (13)
Berbz (12)
Kuyt (11)
Owen (10)
 
A lot depends on injuries etc, but here's my guess for this season:

1 Fernando Torres 20
2 Didier Drogba 18
3 Nicolas Anelka 17
4 Emmanuel Adebayor 16
= Jermaine Defoe 16
6 Wayne Rooney 15
= Darren Bent 15
8 Steven Gerrard 14
= Frank Lampard 14
10 Andrei Arshavin 13


with Tevez, Berbatov, Owen, Kuyt, Robinho, Carlton Cole, Agbonlahor etc all scoring 12 or less...
 
If Torres stays fit, he'll get it.

He's played with a face like a slapped arse throughout August, yet still scores goals.
 
I think the top 10 will contain the following players in no particular order

Fernando Torres
Didier Drogba
Robin Van Persie
Emmanuel Adebayor
Jermaine Defoe
Wayne Rooney
Darren Bent
Steven Gerrard
Nicolas Anelka
Robinho
 
I'd say Rooney is going to nick it this year.
I'd love Nando to do it but I think he is going to miss too many games through injury.

Can't see it. Rooney's just not prolific.

5 in 5 is a great start all the same Bunny. 4 in the league.
I hope I am wrong but if he plays as first CF fro them , he will score a lot.
With the amount of chances they create at home someone like Marlon Harewood would bang them in!!

2 of his 4 league goals were peno's.

He's not prolific and I guarantee he will not finish within 3 goals of the top scorer let alone be the leagues top scorer.

Maybe not Harewood, but I take your point: Andy Cole was living proof of that. But Rooney is not the kind of striker who spends all his time getting on the end of moves: he's often involved deeper in the moves. Same applies to Berbatov really. The only out-and-out goalscorer they've got is The Cunt, and his form and fitness will prevent him scoring too many IMO. I'm just praying Ferguson/Glazer doesn't see sense before the transfer window closes by forking out for David Villa or someone.

Then why did you put him joint third and not second :🙂
 
Saw Drogba a little bit in pre-season and he looks on his game. I'm thinking we might see a big season from him and Anelka this year. Defoe is also on fire right but we'll have to see if he and Spurs can keep it up.

If Torres stays fit and we stop playing like ass, I think he'll nick it though.

Glen Johnson will be top scorer

Drogba looks motivated and interested again this season. Torres when fit will continue to score and Rooney will just fall a few goals short of the other two.

1. Torres
2. Drogba
3. Rooney

it actually does, you see it should be:

torres 21
arshavin 19
drogba 17
anelka 17

although i think arshavin will finish top goalscorer... torres has to be #1 because he plays for liverpool even though i doubt he will get 21 goals this season

spot on 😉
 
The grumpy blonde god will score greater than 25 if he remains fit. He is just slowly getting back into groove and I cannot wait for the cocky smiling god to come back.
 
Torres will win it easily can he stay clear of injuries.

Arshavin to come in second isn't a bad shout either.
