2022 FIFA World Cup Top Goalscorer Sleeper Picks

Jack Grealish


2022 FIFA World Cup Top Goalscorer odds: +10,000

Grealish has been one of the hottest topics of the Premier League since departing Aston Villa. In 185 appearances for his former club, the man from Birmingham scored 29 goals. As the record holder of the most expensive transfer of an English player ever, expectations are high for him. The attacking midfielder is known for his ability to run and dribble past defenders, good pace, and balance on the ball.

Since joining the England men’s squad in 2020, the Manchester City player scored a goal in 23 appearances. There’s more to look forward to given he’s in the early days of his international career. He can link up with +600 top goalscorer favorite Harry Kane and build from there, and many look forward to his first World Cup appearance.

Marco Reus


2022 FIFA World Cup Top Goalscorer odds: +10,000

The Borussia Dortmund captain makes his second World Cup appearance since Joachim Low added him to the squad in 2018. Reus is well-remembered for his clutch goal to break the 1-1 deadlock against Sweden in their second group stage match. Despite a short-lived stint in the previous tournament, Marco Reus recorded a goal and an assist in three matches played.

His numbers in recent league events tell us more about his positive form. Reus scored nine goals in 29 Bundesliga games. The 33-year-old is still on top of his game as he netted three shots in six Champions League matches. With this form and a good start in the 2022-23 Bundesliga season, many anticipate Reus to lend a helping hand on the attacking side which makes him a prime sleeper candidate for the Golden Boot award.

Xherdan Shaqiri


2022 FIFA World Cup Top Goalscorer odds: +15,000

The speedy winger from Switzerland recently joined the MLS following a lengthy stint in European soccer leagues. Since the start of the season, Shaqiri has scored four goals in 19 appearances for his club. More than that, his international career has been impressive. The 30-year-old is on a solid run with the Swiss national team, making 106 appearances and scoring 26 goals in the process.

In 2022, the former Lyon player scored a goal and dished out five assists in eight international appearances. He is an instrumental midfielder for the A-Team and will remain a goal-scoring threat with impressive shooting abilities. Having that unpredictable element, strong weak foot, and clinical shooting technique puts him in the group of top goalscorer sleepers.
