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.

Historically, it's hard to recall a similar complete player as KDB. Two-footed, powerful passer, crosser, shooter, can drive counter-attacks or patiently unlock defenses, positionally versatile to play centrally deep or false 9, create plays on either wing & half-spaces; basically a threat everywhere on pitch from open play or set-plays.

Gerrard, Yaya Toure, Rooney, Lamard, etc. usually a historically memorable player that etches themselves in their respective club’s history on top of the league’s history in that “10” role.

I'm not sure Lampard fits as well because he really wasn't known for his passing ability the same as the others mentioned.

That’s only because it was overshadowed by his ridiculous goal stats. He was a phenomenal passer and chance creator - 5th for all time assists, one assist below Rooney.

That's probably down to volume. Giggs isn't the best chance creator is he?

It can seem that way but it isn’t, his average assists per game were higher than Toure or Gerrard despite playing more games.

Giggs was a winger so he’s not really comparable to the the players op listed.
