The Norwegian forward has won two Premier League Golden Boots in three seasons, and is in a good position to win his third this season.<\/p>\n<p>Haaland has scored 14 goals in 11 Premier League games this season, six more than Igor Thiago (Brentford) in second. More than half of his on-target efforts have hit the back of the net.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, he scored his 54th Champions League goal in his 52nd game. His unmatched conversion rate has fans wondering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportscasting.com\/uk\/news\/erling-haaland-c\u2026champions-league\/\">if he could break Cristiano Ronaldo&#8217;s record in the Champions League<\/a>.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The first player to hit triple digits this season \ud83d\udcaf<\/p>\n<p>Erling Haaland, FPL machine \ud83e\udd16 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/tiH8E6Fkqh\">pic.twitter.com\/tiH8E6Fkqh<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Fantasy Premier League (@OfficialFPL) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/OfficialFPL\/status\/1987589396736925886?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">November 9, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Haaland&#8217;s genius is not limited to his exceptional conversion rate. He is also remarkable at getting the end of the ball, rarely allowing the defending to catch him offside.<\/p>\n<p>Since joining Man City, Haaland has played 108 matches in the Premier League. He has scored 99 goals, provided 17 assists, and has only been caught offside 18 times.<\/p>\n<p>Mbappe, meanwhile, has scored 100 league goals in 109 games for Paris Saint-Germain (56) and Real Madrid (44) since 2022\/23. His tally is on par with Haaland, but the Frenchman has been susceptible to the offside trap. In his last 109 league outings, Mbappe has been offside 111 times, averaging 1.02 offside per match.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-table su-table-responsive su-table-alternate\"><\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Player<\/th>\n<th>Matches Played<\/th>\n<th>Offsides<\/th>\n<th align=\"right\">Offsides per 90<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">Erling Haaland<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">108<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">18<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"right\">0.17<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">Serhou Guirassy<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">91<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">45<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"right\">0.49<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">Lautaro Martinez<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">113<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">50<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"right\">0.44<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">Harry Kane<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">111<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">54<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"right\">0.49<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">Robert Lewandowski<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">112<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">67<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"right\">0.60<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">Kylian Mbappe<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">109<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">111<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"right\">1.02<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">Victor Osimhen<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">95<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">117<\/td>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\" align=\"right\">1.23<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/div>\n<p>Harry Kane, who has been smashing scoring records at Bayern Munich, has also done well to avoid the flag.
