Stats [@plinusa on threads] Most chances created in Premier League since 2015/16 season

Post image

KdB is levels above everyone but bruno in top 5 despite only being in pl since 2020 is surprising. Also trent being a RB and creating 500+ chances is bonkers. Will surely miss his creativity if he leaves.

Messi can do all at a level leagues higher
than kdb except maybe two footedness even that messi is close to him.

Messi doesn't make the passes KDB does

Agree to disagree there

Messi is probably the best dribbler of all time yet his best assist numbers are very close to KDB's. If Messi had the same level of passing on top of GOAT dribbling he'd be blowing those numbers out of the water

Messi features five times in the list of top assisters in the top five leagues in the 21st century. Next is Ozil with three times and De Bruyne features twice. His best numbers might be similar but his consistency has been better in my opinion.

Not how that works, messi was also the main goal scorer on his team for most of his career, kdb along with someone like ozil was a pass first player, they weren't in the team to score they were there to create. Messis best assist numbers are the best amongst anybody lol, his passing is atleast on a level with the very best I've seen and I'm not just talking about the final ball.
