Nikolics is the second top goalscorer in Europe at the moment

Only Croatian player Kramaric has scored more goals than Nikolics. The Vidi forward is ahead in goals compared to World stars like C. Ronaldo, Diego Costa or Soriano. Former Vidi striker Goran Vujovics is also in the list of players among the goals.

11 league goals. This is the amount that Nemanja Nikolics currently has this autumn. There is only one player ahead of him in the European first divisions. Rijeka's Croatian forward Kramarić has 13 to his name so far.

Spanish player Soriano, who plays for Salzburg also has 11 goals so far. He was the leading goalscorer in Austria last season with 31 goals. He also scored the most goals in the Europa League with 8 goals in 2013/14. This despite his side going out at the last 16 stage, and having played in just 7 EL games.

There are three players on the continent with 10 goals. Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo is in fantastic form this season, and his goals per game ratio comfortably puts him ahead, with an average of 2 goals per game, with 10 goals in 5 matches. Welsh side Aberystwyth player Venables has the same amount of goals in 7 league games, while Romanian Keserü, who scored 6 league goals against Pandurri, has 10 goals after 9 matches to lead the top goalscorers chart in his country.

There are four players with 9 goals, and one of them is well known to Videoton supporters. Montenegro player Goran Vujovics, played for Vidi between 2008 and 2011. Vujovics plays for Montenegro side Sutjeska, and has scored 9 goals in 8 league games. Another player on 9 goals is French forward Tadé, who plays for Czech side Slovacko Došek, and Belgium side Westerlo player Gounongbe.

8 goals have been scored among others by Marseille forward Gignac, Chelsea's Spanish star Diego Costa, Romanian Petrolul Israeli player Tamuz, and Luxemburg Esch's Bosnian striker Sanel Ibrahimović.

One statistic that no other player can compete with Nikolics is that he has scored in each of the autumn league games.
