There are some simple factors to consider which will give players an advantage in this market.

What teams is your player going to play against?

An easy couple of group games is an ideal opportunity for a striker to score the main proportion of goals he is going to score all tournament. Being drawn against the tournament whipping boys is a massive positive for a player's potential to be Golden Boot.

What sort of tactics does your player's side employ?

First of all the team is going to need to be fairly attacking. A team that wins the tournament with a series of 1-0 wins is not likely to provide a Golden Boot winner. A team that has plenty of high scoring games is preferable. The team will also need to play to the player's strengths. Just because a player scores plenty of goals for his club doesn't mean he always transfers it to the International stage.

How far is your player's team likely to get?

Teams will play a minimum of three games and a maximum of six games. That's a big difference. A team that gets to the final is obviously going to get more games to score goals. In eleven of the last fourteen European Championships the Golden Boot has played in the final. That's a very strong statistic.

Does your player take free kicks and penalties?

Taking free kicks and penalties can often add one or two goals to a player's tally that they may not have ordinarily scored. This can make all the difference between a winner and a loser. It should only take four or five goals to win the Golden Boot so that's a big proportion.
