and counting.

Lewa is clear cut #1 rn.
2) Mbappe. Will #1 very soon
3) Aguero. Will be surpassed by Haaland soon though.

1. Messi
2. Messi
3 to 100 Messi

Disclaimer: I know Messi is not a pure striker

At the moment? I must have a lot of gripes.

But you're not wrong

Honestly, I agree.

Messi and Ronaldo are still the two best forwards in the world at the moment, IMO.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Messi and Ronaldo are still the two best forwards in the world, but I took the question as #9's, not general catch-all forwards. Thats also why I wouldn't be sure if we can include Mbappe.

I wasn't trying to call you out for having 'many gripes', you did have specific number of face palms though

If you do not include Messi and Ronaldo, then... I would not include Mbappé.

The answer then becomes Lewandowski.

I think Messi is, but I think there are a number of forwards better than Ronaldo. He's a fantastic poacher though. I would rather have Lewandowski, Salah, Mane, Mbappe and Neymar at the moment...maybe even a few more.

Fair enough. I'd take quite a few players over him too, but I am considering age.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

For a poacher he wasnt even the top scorer in his league. Definitely not among the 3 now. tbh.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Not counting Messi, obviously

 

[robertmac43]

Oh Immobile is a good shout as well, totally forgot about him when thinking about the top 3.

He has done enough to be an HM for me.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

If we're talking pure #9s here:

1. Lewandowski has been on an absurd level this year, absolutely bonkers, and has also been ruthlessly consistent for almost a decade. 9 straight seasons of more than 25 goals in all competitions. 5 straight seasons of more than 40. Has hit 30 goals in a 34 game Bundesliga season 3 times in the past 5 years (and hit 29 in one of the others).

After him, there's a cluster that I think can broadly be divided into older guys who are still at an extremely high level (Aguero and Benzema specifically jump to mind here) and younger guys who are rapidly approaching this top tier (Haaland and Werner in particular), with Harry Kane operating in a weird middle space between these two groups.

 

[Juve]

Federico?

The legendary Gonzalo! The myth, the man, the legend!

 

[Dr Salt]

Lewa Benzema and Agüero. Immobile Kane PEA also great shouts. You can also put Ronaldo and Mbappé if you count them as strikers.

 

[Lambo]

Lewandowski
Mbappe
Burgstaller

 

[ecemleafs]

Lewandowski, Mbappe, Edouard. No particular order.

 

[East Coast Bias]

Mason Greenwood for me. Only thing that can stop him is Icelandic tinder.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Mason Greenwood for me. Only thing that can stop him is Icelandic tinder.

Can you blame him...

 

[Aladyyn]

Lewa, Kane, Benzema

 

[Adele Dazeem]

Lewandowski
Benzema
Aguero (when healthy)

 

[robertmac43]

Lewa, Kane, Benzema
