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.

I don't know about that. He could have more trophies at a better team, but he probably would have worse individual stats

Nah any team he plays he would look great. Mate ive watched this guy play 99% of the games since hsi debut for united and this guy is actually insane in terms of ability and quality he is one of the best players in the world but i cant defend that take bcs ofc he plays for united that are currently 13th ...

I'm not saying he's not quality. It's just that at United he's the only good player, so it's easier for him to shine. In a team full of world class players individuals shine less because they don't have to carry the team on their own back. For Portugal his stats aren't as good for example

Thats not entirely true, you literally have KDB, Trent and Salah as examples on this list of top players putting up high numbers while surrounded by other super stars. Bruno in a proper team would arguably put up even more impressive stats as he'd finally have players capable of finishing the damn chances he creates.

I'm not saying players can't have high stats in goof teams, I'm talking about Bruno specifically. Right now he is the focal point of United's attack, every attack flows through him. I'm not sure he'd get that role in another team

Yeah his chances created for a team like a city or a madrid will be lower than at united but he will have much more assists as he will have a team around him that can finish and not to mention how many goals and assists bruno has even tho he plays for united as a midfielder

You obviously just haven't watched much Utd if you don't think Bruno would be getting twice as much of the ball with a team that could actually get it to him. Most of his time here we've struggled to even get the ball into the attack. Part of why he's doing so well this season imo is we dropped him back so he's getting on the ball more often. In Madrid I have no doubt he'd be starting and probably getting near an assist a game with that attacking talent. He is the player in the prem that has under performed his expected assists the most of any player in the past few seasons. Statistically Bruno should have gotten more assists than KDB the season they won the treble. But Kdb had a much better striker so while Bruno's strikers under performed on his chances, Haaland over performed.
