10. ST: Ellis Simms (£1.08 million)
The Everton loanee was on-fire before injury against Reading forced him out of action. Simms was beginning to develop a really good partnership alongside Ross Stewart and fans will hope the duo can flourish again when injury problems subside. Photo: Frank Reid
11. ST: Ross Stewart (£3.15 million)
