Kingsley Coman has been a crucial cog in the well-oiled Bayern Munich machine. The 24-year-old winger has made 16 Bundesliga appearances for the Bavarian giants this season, scoring three goals and assisting nine.

Impressively, Coman has already provided more assists in the league this season than he provided across all competitions (7) over the entirety of last season.

Thanks to Coman's exploits and Robert Lewandowski's goals, Bayern Munich have scored a staggering 58 goals in 20 Bundesliga matches, and hold a 7-point lead with 14 games remaining.

Despite enduring a long goal drought - failing to score in Borussia Dortmund's first 13 Bundesliga matches this season - Jadon Sancho seems to have rediscovered his mojo, assisting a plethora of goals and assisting a few as well.

In 18 league appearances this season, the 20-year-old may have only scored three goals, but has already registered nine assists.

Apart from his goal contributions, Sancho has also dazzled in other aspects of his game; he ranks first in attempted take-ons, successful take-ons, passes into the box and carries into the box in the Bundesliga this season.

Thanks to Sancho's performances, Borussia Dortmund find themselves sixth in the Bundesliga standings, four points adrift of the UEFA Champions League spots.


#6 Joshua Kimmich (Bayern Munich) - 10 assists

Widely regarded as one of the most versatile midfielders in the world at the moment, Joshua Kimmich was a key player in Bayern Munich's treble-winning campaign last season; he has been just as phenomenal this season too, despite missing a few games because of injury.

The 26-year-old has played only 14 Bundesliga matches this season, scoring twice while assisting on ten occasions to bolster Bayern Munich's march to another Bundesliga title.
