The rankings for top striker don’t always tell the full story of who is playing the best football at the current moment. There are many players who have struggled all season, and who are finally producing quality performances, whereas there are others who are struggling to make an impact. So what are the best English football predictions for in-form players?
In recent weeks, Christian Benteke has been in excellent form, scoring in every game which he has played. Benteke has said in a recent interview that new manager Tim Sherwood has “given me a lot of freedom”. Sherwood’s confidence in the player has certainly paid off. Since Sherwood took over at Villa, Benteke has scored more than any other player in the Premier League.
Wayne Rooney has not scored as many as Benteke in recent games, although he consistently puts in great performances which gives his team a lift. Many of Manchester United’s goals are coming from midfielders, but this is thanks to Rooney’s unselfish and conscientious play. When Rooney is happy and in form, then he is sure to score plenty of goals during the rest of the season.
There are strikers who seem to have lost their edge in recent weeks. Most notably Harry Kane, who has been so impressive for most of the season, has failed to score in his last few games and his performances have not been strong. It may be his young age that makes him susceptible to fatigue, but he is sure to want to grab a few goals to help boost his confidence.
