Ranking the 10 Most Dangerous Strikers in Football | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Every football team has dangerous players and huge scoring threats in front of goal. But when it comes to world football as a whole, it can be somewhat difficult to break down which players are the most elite and therefore the most dangerous strikers on the planet.

A top-10 list like this will vary between one person to the next, and in order to break down the most dangerous strikers in the world, a couple of points have to be made.

The first—and most important—point is as to which players can and can't be considered as strikers. We'll break down that shortly and rule out a few players.

Secondly is the notion of being a dangerous striker.

This list is not just an evaluation of which striker is the best, per se. It's about noting which strikers are the most dangerous with and without the ball at their feet. It's a slight difference from best, but it is an important one to keep in mind as we break down the top 10.

The other key point to mention here is that this list will be shaped a great deal by the 2012-13 season—given that it is the most recent testimony as to the danger of certain players. That's not to say that other seasons and longevity haven't been taken into consideration, but it is an acknowledgement of the apparent bias towards players who have shone the brightest in 2013.

So with all of that out of the way, let's get this list underway.

Read on to see who are the 10 most dangerous strikers in world football.
