Here are the Premier League players to have created the most chances this season. There’s no sign of the man with the most assists.

We’ve included the chances created in total as well as the per 90 in brackets to separate the ties. Thanks to Fotmob for the stats. 

 

1) Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United): 114 (3.3)
Manchester United will miss him if he goes.

 

2) Pascal Gross (Brighton): 103 (3.0)
A quietly brilliant player who can play just about any position on the pitch. He created a faintly ludicrous eight chances v Sheffield United and claimed his ninth Premier League assist of the season; the 10th came in stoppage-time against Everton.

 

3) Martin Odegaard (Arsenal): 102 (3.0)
Created a ludicrous eight chances v Chelsea when he was absolutely phenomenal. A brilliant, brilliant captain who led by example with eight Premier League assists this season.

 

4) Bukayo Saka (Arsenal): 91 (2.8)
Claimed nine Premier League assists this season and is among the most creative players in the Premier League.

 

5) Andreas Pereira (Fulham): 84 (2.9)
Another playmaker who would quite like his club to buy a prolific striker, thank you. Has seven assists but should have more.

 

6) Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest): 74 (2.1)
A slow start but he logged 10 Premier League assists to edge Forest to survival.

 

7) Phil Foden (Manchester City): 73 (2.3)
The Premier League’s best finisher is also one of its most creative players.

 

8) Cole Palmer (Chelsea): 72 (2.4)
A brilliant goalscorer but also a creative force. Along with the man just above him on this list, he is the future of England.

 

9) Gustavo Hamer (Sheffield United): 70 (2.2)
Not bad for a team who spent the season adrift at the bottom of the Premier League; the Dutchman deserves another crack at it elsewhere.

 

10) Alfie Doughty (Luton): 70 (2.1)
A Herculean effort in his debut Premier League season for doomed Luton, whose second-best chance creator was Ross Barkley on 44.
