Luis Suarez is undeniably the in-form Premier League player and a star whom fans would pay lots of money to watch.
After securing his player of the month gong for December with 10 goals, including a stunning quartet at Norwich and two strikes apiece in the wins over West Ham, Tottenham and Cardiff, the Uruguay forward added another double to his impressive season's tally in Liverpool's victory at Stoke on Sunday.
That brace takes Suarez to 22 goals for the campaign – which didn't get going until the end of September after he served out the remainder of his 10-game ban for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic.

Knee-sy does it: Yaya Toure (right) is the Premier League's sharpest shooter, with Eden Hazard runner-up
You could be forgiven for thinking the Uruguay star is the sharpest shooter in the Premier League. But that's where you'd be wrong.
Suarez, who has inspired Liverpool to fourth in the table, is only the fifth hottest goal-getter in England's top flight according to his shot-conversion rate.
Yaya Toure, the Premier League's other standout player this term, leads the way with a success rate of 37 per cent every time he unleashes a shot on goal.
On target: Danny Welbeck is third on the list having bagged eight goals and with a shot-conversion rate of 33%
The Manchester City midfielder has netted 10 goals from midfield, with his team currently occupying the Premier League summit ahead of Arsenal's vital clash at Aston Villa on Monday night.
Finishing behind Toure is Chelsea's Belgian starlet Eden Hazard, with Danny Welbeck occupying third spot in the table and Newcastle's Yoan Gouffran rounding out the top four.
Suarez only makes his entry in fifth place with 28 per cent of shots on goal finding the back of the net. His partner in crime Daniel Sturridge comes in at No 7 with Robin van Persie splitting the Liverpool pair.
