The top scorer in Ligue 1 Conforama (18 goals), Kylian Mbappé does not hesitate to try his luck in front of goal. Since the start of the season, the Paris Saint-Germain striker has been the league's top trigger man (89 shots), ahead of LOSC's Victor Osimhen (86) and Montpellier's Andy Delort (83).

AS Monaco striker Wissam Ben Yedder, tied with Kylian Mbappe in terms of goals scored but trailing in terms of the number of penalties, is far more effective, having only tried his luck on 64 occasions.

Meanwhile Moussa Dembélé, third on the scorers chart with 16 goals, is not among the ten players with the most shots on goal - a testament to Olympique Lyonnais and France U21 striker's efficiency

Players with the most shots on goal:

1. Kylian Mbappé (Paris Saint-Germain): 89

2. Victor Osimhen (LOSC): 86

On target

In addition to being the player who tries his luck the most, Kylian Mbappé is also the one who gets the most shots on target (48) - that's a little more than one out of every two shots. AS Saint-Etienne's Gabon danger man Denis Bouanga hits the list in second place, having used his versatility as a wing-back, winger or striker to rain down shots. Notable absentees from the top ten are Olympique de Marseille's Dimitri Payet (nine goals) and Dario Benedetto (11 goals).

Woodworkers

For a few centimetres, some players could have scored even more goals since the start of the season. And guess what? Mbappé is right up there once again, tied with Brest's Alexandre Mendy with four shots having come back off the frame of the goal.

Seven players come next with three close-but-no-cigars: Toulouse's Efthymios Koulouris and Max-Alain Gradel, Montpellier's Andy Delort and Gaëtan Laborde, Brest's Gaëtan Charbonnier, Parisian Neymar and Bordeaux's Ui-Jo Hwang.
