Hottest strikers in Europe right now: xG per 90 over the last 5 games
FDscout · 14 October 2026
Who is the hottest striker in Europe right now? Not the one with the most goals last weekend, but the one whose last 5 games have produced the best chances. This is the live answer across 14 European leagues, rebuilt every night, with the 5 games on each card.
Right now. Victor Osimhen leads on 1.35 xG per 90, 0.03 ahead of Raphinha. Biggest climber: Heine Åsen Larsen, up 1 place to 6th.
Strikers across 20 top-flight leagues with 5 league games and at least 300 minutes across them, ranked by xG per 90 over the last 5 games. Updates every night · refreshed 15 October 2026.
What the numbers mean
Form for a striker is chances, not goals. Goals come in lumps; a striker who is getting 0.9 xG a game will score soon whether or not the last 5 have gone in. This list ranks strikers across 14 European leagues by expected goals per 90 over their last 5 league games, which is the fairest read on who is hot.
The tiles on each card are the 5 games, most recent first, with the goals and the xG in each; a lit tile is a game he scored in. The bars put him against every striker in the pool over the same window. A full bar means the top of that group.
The list rebuilds every night from the latest matches, so it will move as the season goes on. The date on each card says when it last changed.
14 European top flights FDscout follows in full: England, Spain, Germany, Italy, France, the Championship, the Netherlands, Portugal, Belgium, Turkey, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Scotland. Each striker needs 5 league games this season with at least 300 minutes across them.
Why the last 5 rather than the season?
Because right now is the question. Five games is long enough to smooth out one big afternoon and short enough to catch a striker who has just come alive.
How often does it update?
Every night, from the latest matches. The order, the cards and the table rebuild together, and the date on each card says when the list last changed.

Reading the list
A striker at the top with fewer goals than xG is the one to watch this week; the goals are coming. One with more goals than xG over 5 games has had a good run of finishing that the chances do not fully support. The minutes line matters: 5 full games means more than 5 cameos. Each name opens a full FDscout profile.
