Consider all sorts of deliveries including delivery from set pieces, crossing, lob passes, threaded through balls, link up play.
This also isnt overall passing just the final ball so dont say guys like Kroos, Scholes, Alonso etc
Imo Ozil, Pirlo, Cesc, KDB, Messi, Cruyff, Figo, Di Maria, Xavi, Zidane, Maradona have shouts
I can’t pick just one but from premier league, I’d say Bergkamp, Beckham, KdB.
In theory assists should be a useful stat when assessing this because by definition as assist is the final ball, although clearly that will include easy passes and be biased towards better teams that provide more opportunities to create assists.
Ryan Giggs is absolutely miles ahead of everyone on raw count, more than 50 ahead of Cesc in 2nd.
The fact that cesc is 2nd while playing years at barca in his prime is crazy
Yes, because he played more. KDB has the most assists per 90mins.
