The Top 10 Goal Scorers in Europe:
1. Huntelaar - 25
2. Ronaldo - 21
3. Fabiano - 19
4. Adebayor - 19
5. McDonald - 19
6. N'kufo - 19
7. Lisandro - 18
8. Borriello - 16
9. Benzema - 16
10. Trezeguet - 15

I know its 2 points per goal in England but what about Holland, Scotland, Portugal and France?

Batman where did you get this? I was looking for it the other day on UEFA.com.

I just looked around for the top goal scorers in the different leagues.

I did come across this but its from last season: http://www.uefa.com/footballeurope/news/kind=2/newsid=552524.html

Top 5 leagues have a rating of 2.0
Premier League,La Liga,Serie A,Ligue 1, Bundesliga

Portugal and Holand have a 1.5 rating.

Huntelaar 25 x 1,5 = 37.5
Ronaldo 21 x 2 = 42
Fabiano 19 x 2 = 38
Adebayor 19 x 2 = 38

Ronaldo on top.

If Huntelaar was on 28 he would have been tied with Ronaldo, should be close this year.

Still time for Totti and Van Persie to make a push.

Please give up, one Arsenal fan on here (will remain nameless) predicted Van Persie will outscore C Ronaldo this season, now that wont happen. Van Persie should just save himself for the Euro's.

Adebayor still has a chance, put all your eggs in his basket, Says I !

Is he really though? The italian and spanish leagues are behind the prem in games played. I imagine the bundesliga is well behind also.

The Bundesliga season is only 34 games, which counts against anyone in that league. Although if Toni has a prolific run he could maybe work his way into contention. Actually, I just checked, and he almost certainly isn't going to feature. He only has 13 league goals, and there are 13 games left.

Huntelaar has now 26 goals, with the scoring system he has 39pts

Cristiano Ronaldo still has 42pts

Holland has the playoffs depends

If Ajax wins the league he will have 7 more games

If they don’t they will go into the playoffs so .. 2 more games , progress from those 2 games a further 2 more (the finals) so then that will be 11 games played.

Despite limiting Huntelaar's chances, im sure you will be rooting for the league right It looks like Ajax could well win the title.

So lets say it's 7 games. 1.5 per goal but 3 points behind. With Ronaldo having 10 games left at 2 points per goal.

Huntelaar would need about 16 goals in the 7 games to have a realistic chance which would take him to 63 points. Meaning Ronaldo would need over 10 goals in 10 games to beat that.

But 15+ goals in 7 games is a LOT to ask, maybe Van Basten could have done it i guess......

Van Basten would. Huntelaar can get 16 goals but its a question of 'will he'.

Not entirely sure, but I' pretty sure the playoff goals in the Dutch Eredivisie do NOT count for the Golden Boot ranking. Only the 34 matches of the regular season.

Indeed, less games and a lower weighing factor = impossible for a Eredivisie striker to win the golden boot.

Should the Welsh league even count as 1:1?

I think its still Ronaldo but i could be wrong or maybe Dani Güiza?

Its not my fault Torres is no good at pens or freekicks.

Cristiano Ronaldo wins it, yet another prize for him

First Portuguese player since the great Eusébio to win.

Huntelaar came quite close though....just like he did with ajax and the CL.
