Impressive to see three Barcelona FC players among the top four. Great to see Jackson Martinez in the top 10 following his switch from Porto to Atletico Madrid. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is always on the list also.

What is different this season for Ronaldo is that he is playing in more of an attacking role under new coach Rafa Benitez. If Messi is in the mood though, that might not be enough.

What about guys like Edinson Cavani? He is playing well lately for Paris Saint-Germain. Sergio Aguero of Manchester City is missing his first game due to injury.

Who else is there?

Wayne Rooney: 40/1
Alexis Sanchez: 40/1
Mario Mandzukic: 40/1
Antoine Griezmann: 40/1
Edinson Cavani: 50/1
Gareth Bale: 50/1
Olivier Giroud: 50/1

Buckle up your seatbelts!

This promises to be a great Champions League season.

Enjoy the games everyone!
