So, how about some wildcard shouts that definitely are?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Wildcards<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">We recommended <strong>Serhou Guirassy<\/strong> alongside Toney in our striker shortlist at the start of the 2022\/23 season. Since then, he&#8217;s broken the Bundesliga record for most goals in the opening eight games of a season and his conversion rate is even better than Haaland&#8217;s.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">But Toney and Guirassy both turn 28 in March, so here\u2019s a pair of wonderkid wildcards. <strong>Alexander Lind<\/strong> is a stocky striker from Silkeborg that doesn\u2019t seem to do much beyond scoring goals. The 21-year-old returned a 95% Squawka Score, the absolute best mark, ahead of Erling Haaland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Even though it does not consider the quality of the league, there\u2019s no denying Lind\u2019s finishing stats are insane and he has a shot map that Pippo Inzaghi would be proud of. We wouldn\u2019t expect Lind to start every game for Arsenal, but he might be the Sylvain Wiltord they need to grab a clutch goal from the bench.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">A more established young striker who could push for a starting spot is <strong>Elye Wahi<\/strong>. The Frenchman proved he can be clinical by scoring against Arsenal at home in the Champions League and was the only shining light when Lens returned to the Emirates &#8212; just ask William Saliba.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1339525 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/01\/30165409\/1339522_1339522_player_-vertical-pitch-viz-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/01\/30165409\/1339522_1339522_player_-vertical-pitch-viz-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/01\/30165409\/1339522_1339522_player_-vertical-pitch-viz-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/01\/30165409\/1339522_1339522_player_-vertical-pitch-viz-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/01\/30165409\/1339522_1339522_player_-vertical-pitch-viz-110x138.jpg 110w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/01\/30165409\/1339522_1339522_player_-vertical-pitch-viz-56x70.jpg 56w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/01\/30165409\/1339522_1339522_player_-vertical-pitch-viz-1229x1536.jpg 1229w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/01\/30165409\/1339522_1339522_player_-vertical-pitch-viz-52x65.jpg 52w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/01\/30165409\/1339522_1339522_player_-vertical-pitch-viz-80x100.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/01\/30165409\/1339522_1339522_player_-vertical-pitch-viz-180x225.jpg 180w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/01\/30165409\/1339522_1339522_player_-vertical-pitch-viz-192x240.jpg 192w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/01\/30165409\/1339522_1339522_player_-vertical-pitch-viz-480x600.jpg 480w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/01\/30165409\/1339522_1339522_player_-vertical-pitch-viz-799x999.jpg 799w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/01\/30165409\/1339522_1339522_player_-vertical-pitch-viz-85x106.jpg 85w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/01\/30165409\/1339522_1339522_player_-vertical-pitch-viz-16x20.jpg 16w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/01\/30165409\/1339522_1339522_player_-vertical-pitch-viz-300x375.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/2024\/01\/30165409\/1339522_1339522_player_-vertical-pitch-viz.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The only U21 player that scored more Ligue 1 goals in 2022\/23 was Folarin Balogun.
