Best Strikers of 2012-2013

The Top Ten
Lionel Messi Lionel Andrés "Leo" Messi was born on June 24, 1987. He is an Argentine professional footballer who plays as a forward for the American club, Inter Miami CF, in the MLS. Messi is widely regarded as one of the greatest football players of all time. His birthplace is Rosario, Argentina.

He is the best and no one can beat him. Cr7 maybe the best player in the world but messi is the best player in universe. He got speed, best skill and talent. No defender can stop him to score

Obviously he is the best, people please do just see his achievements, record breaking performances, the trophies he has won for his team, his style of play, his no. Of goal, you will be stunned!

Pace, dribbling, finishing, passes, positioning. Everything is on ***** Barcelona has made the best of him.

Cristiano Ronaldo Cristiano Ronaldo dos Santos Aveiro (born February 5, 1985) is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a forward for Saudi Pro League club Al-Nassr and captains the Portugal national team.

The two best strikers are Cristiano and Messi, with a lot of difference with the rest.
Messi scores more goals every year, but the truth is that Cristiano is the most complete striker: passes, heads, shoots from long distance, volleys, dribbles, free kicks, heel-kick, he uses both legs,... He's scored against Barcelona and in every important match.
Cristiano plays for a team whose style isn't ball possession, so he constantly makes 50-60 meters runs with/without the ball, he defends the winger, defends corner kicks, aerial balls...
Messi plays with players like Cesc, Xavi, Busquets, Pedro, Iniesta with a lot of quality in passing, and they all play for him. He also plays very close to the area so he is in the best position to score. Obviously he is fantastic and he is the best playing between lines, and dribbling in short distances, but he recieves a lot of help from the team. He never defends so he doesn't waste energy on it.
Talking about defenders, they defend Cristiano much harder, with agressions. Everything against him is allowed because newspapers say "he is arrogant".
Finally the media is always looking for false conflicts between Cristiano and his club, mates, coach... While Messi is always receiving praises.
Many football professionals admit that, even when Cristiano plays better than Messi, he's not gonna win the golden ball because the advertising around him is not as powerful as it is around Messi

Luis Suarez Luis Alberto Suárez Díaz, born on January 24, 1987, is a Uruguayan professional footballer. He currently plays as a striker for Inter Miami CF, an American club competing in Major League Soccer (MLS)... read more

GREAT PLAYER! Everything you need to be a world class player he's got. He can dribble he can shoot he can turn players inside out and he's got one of the cleverest football brains in the game he sees scoring oportunities that other players wouldn't dream of trying and pulls them off LUIS SUAREZ THE FIGHTER THE MAGICIAN THE KING

He is an amazing player, and sometimes he makes defenders look foolish. He scores unbelievable goals from impossible positions for many strikers. He can play as a lone striker, and he has anything one can expect from a striker with the exception of good attitude. I love so much.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic Zlatan Ibrahimović (born October 3, 1981) is a Swedish former professional footballer who played as a striker for multiple clubs during his career, including Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), FC Barcelona, and Manchester United.

He is off to psg where he will destroy the French league

Zlatan dominates the world as a striker

He is one of the best in the world. Probably 3rd best striker. He won the goldon boot last season and wn the player of the year award. He is top scorer this season 10 goals for Manchester unite everyone fights for him. He works hard get paid socres and has respect for every team especially Arsenal and Feyenoord his formal team.

Robin van Persie is an incredible striker and has already proved his worth at one of the biggest clubs in the world. He and Rooney have led United to the title this year. He is surely the top striker in the premiership and possibly world too!

Robert Lewandowski Robert Lewandowski (born 21 August 1988) is a Polish professional footballer who plays as a striker for German club Bayern Munich, and captains the Poland national team.

Great Player, All the big teams want him like Munich and United but I think he should stay at Dortmund. He can head the ball, he's fast and can also dribble past defenders, his first touch is amazing, lots of power while holding the ball, running or shooting and a very clinical finisher.

Amazing ball control, amazing hold up play... This guy is pure quality! He's one of the only strikers on this list that can actually play without the ball by opening up space for him self and others.

Excelent finisher and has great mobility for a pure striker. Great header and positioning plus great ball control. Has really good power and plays exactly how his position should be played in the dortmund system

Radamel Falcao Radamel Falcao García Zárate, also known as Radamel Falcao, or simply Falcao, is a Colombian professional footballer who plays as a striker for English club Chelsea on loan from French club Monaco, and captain of the Colombia national team.

I think h e is very talented player he is good finisher and team player I think he can be very successful in bigger team like barceona, and chelsea

His finishing ability is class, great in the air and a success everywhere he goes, easily the best striker in the world!

This guy is quick, cunning, and puts the ball where the goalie can't get it; easily the best striker on this list.

Sergio Aguero Sergio Leonel "Kun" Agüero is a former professional footballer who played as a striker for the Argentina national team and clubs such as Manchester City and FC Barcelona... read more

Really amazing. I think he has to win the best player of the year. A very special player namely Sergio Kun Aguero

He has the perfect skills to be a football player, he has the speed to run, and kicking power

Kun is my favourite. He needs more speed, shot power and height to level V. Persie

Fernando Torres

High mentality. Still passing to other teammate even other teammate doesn't pass to him. He need other team. Just not chelsea.

Greatest player in the world. Hats of! This man is dangerous in important games. Man who score in such game is a world class player.

He is a winning Player. EURP cup*2, WORLD CUP, UEFA CHAMPION LEAGUE, EUFA PREMIER LEAGUE ETC.
No one can compare in winning records

Wayne Rooney Wayne Mark Rooney is a former English professional footballer who played for and captained both Manchester United and the England national team. He remains Manchester United's all-time leading goalscorer and was England's record goalscorer until 2023.

Rooney is the best because you see him scoring goals with any part of his body his not like messi that only scores goals with his feet. He can do awesome bycicle kicks and headers he can do anything you want him to.

Well, who has been loyal to Man u, who scored a bicycle kick, Wayne Rooney, Van Persie is a close second though

Rooney is a hard worker, he works very hard for goals. He is a team player. He is all time payer.

The Newcomers

? Emile Heskey

Greatest striker of all time, sometimes he's that good, he misses on purpose in respect for the opposition

? Mohamed Salah Mohamed Salah Hamed Mahrous Ghaly (born June 15, 1992) is an Egyptian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Premier League club Liverpool and captains the Egypt national team.

The Egyptian star the 4th pyramid is now shining for Egypt and basel a probable move to atletico or liverpool will hopefully help him get the potential to be recognized as one of th e beststrikerrs in football

The Contenders
Edinson Cavani Edinson Roberto Cavani Gómez is a Uruguayan professional footballer who plays as a striker for Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain and the Uruguay national team.

He is also the captain of the national team... read more

It's not only his scoring, his passing, his vision, but with Messi and the Barcelona team this kid is destined to be one of the best all around player in the game.

Neymar can beat any defender that you put in front of him. He's got speed, accuracy and perfect timing. All he lacks is strngth but other than that he should be top 10

He is my favorite soccer player because of his ball control his amazing goals and especially dribbles

Mario Mandzukic

Maybe not the best striker but definitely the most underrated. Very fast for his height and can find the ball with his head in any situation.

Best striker in the world in terms of headers, he's also the best defensive striker. He plays the ball on both sides of the pitch.

He's best defensive striker in world and best in term of headers. Best striker in bundesliga along side lewandowski

Karim Benzema Karim Mostafa Benzema is a French professional footballer of Algerian descent who plays for Spanish club Real Madrid and the France national team as a striker.

Very strong, good passer, good finisher, good sprint speed, good player, what a amazing striker Karim Benzema! He's one of the complete strikers of the world.

Very strong, good header of the ball, very good finisher, can dribble in and out and surprisingly very good passer as well

Not the best, but certainly one of the best... He scores lots of goals and also racks up assists... A complete player...

Javier Hernandez Javier Hernández Balcázar, commonly known as Chicharito, is a Mexican professional footballer who plays as a forward for Mexican club Chivas Guadalajara.

He has the best goals per minute ratio in the premier league. A hard-worker who always gives his best and easily the deadliest striker in europe.

Pacey agile and natural goal scorer he is the Mexican Ruud van Nistelrooy he will be the best next season just watch he is the Little Pea

Burak Yilmaz

His finishing shoots, his passes are very dangerous. He came to galatasaray he wa

His turning skills are amazing. He can be fast. His finishing skills are amazing.

Burak was the best in the champions league. No one can score 8 goals in 8 matches

Daniel Sturridge Daniel Andre Sturridge is an English professional footballer who plays for Premier League club Liverpool and the England national team.

Who is sure to be as good as this guy. He scoring form is almost unbeatable. So deserves a spot on this list. Works so well with his teammates, couldn't ask for more in a striker.

Real go getter..has pace, strengthand confidence can really push liverpool towards top 4 finnish

Simply class. Pace, skill, finishing, true striker!

Safee Sali

Has yet to prove himself as the best striker in ASEAN football like he used to 3 years ago. Call him what you want, you just can't deny he's the best. Don't forget his spectacular performance against Liverpool where he scored a brace in a matter of 4 minutes...

This guy has totally worked for Malaysia. Please vote

David Villa David Villa Sánchez is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a striker and also serves as captain for New York City FC in Major League Soccer.

He is not a old fashion striker as Lewandowski or Zlatan, he is more of a wing man but he is deadly comming from the wing, penetrating the center and shooting with an assassin precision. He can use both of his legs, has speed, class, precision... And I think Barca made a mistake when they sold it to Atletico Madrid."El guaje" is and alwasy will be a top class wing-striker.

Spain's hero none can match him he is the best should be in top 10

Mario Balotelli

This is a joke balotelli is the best penalty taker in the world I don't understand how he is not top 10 yet hunterlaa and Torres are, he's a monster and can do defenders for fun...
