#3 Andy Delort - 3.0
Center forward Andy Delort has been one of the most consistent players in Ligue 1 this season. Delort has been an underrated name in the league so far, and the move to Nice has benefitted him.
A very old-school attacker, Delort's greatest strength is his accurate finishing and getting involved in the build-up to goals. Nice has been playing well in the current season and Delort has been the leading man on the journey.
Nice's investment in Dlorthas been repaid as he has performed exceptionally well for the £9 million that the club paid to secure his services.
Delort has made 22 appearances so far, in which he has scored nine goals and assisted two. His three key passes per game is currently the third-highest among all Ligue 1 players.
#2 Benjamin Bourigeaud - 3.2
The current campaign in Ligue 1 has been all about midfielders. Teji Savanier is one such name who has been performing excellently for his club. Likewise, Benjamin Bourigeaud has performed well above expectations for Rennais.
Bourigeaud is a no-nonsense central midfielder whose most significant assets are his passing skills. He has the technical ability and the range of passing needed to crack open the best defenses in the league. Bourigeaud has filled the void left by the outgoing Eduardo Camavinga and has ensured the club doesn't suffer too much.
Bourigeaud has been a diligent performer with 31 appearances across all competitions. He has scored three goals but his eight assists have been more valuable. His 3.2 key passes in every game put Bourigeaud in the second position on this list.
#1 Dimitri Payet - 3.8
Dimitri Payet can excel at several positions due to his superb technical abilities and passing skills. However, Payet's area of expertise is the attacking midfield position, where he can genuinely showcase his ability as the league leader in key passes per game. Marseille have been on a brilliant run of form and Payet will look to extend it with his incredible performances.
He has already been involved in 27 games so far and has performed brilliantly. Payet has scored nine goals and assisted another nine. The Marseille faithful will be hoping that Payet continues this run of form.
