The Premier League has had many amazing playmakers in its history, showcasing their quality and craft in attack. With the tough competition in England's top-tier league, it is a challenge to do consistently well.
With every season, the opposition gets warier about the threat possessed by a player. This only makes it necessary for the player to be more innovative than last season.
The Premier League has world-class playmakers
It is truly a blessing to witness some great players play in the Premier League. Right now, the league does not lack creativity on the pitch as it possesses high-quality playmakers.
Since the start of the 2019-20 season, many of those creative footballers have been superb in the Premier League. On that note, we take a look at those top players who have made creating a clear-cut chance a habit for themselves.
Note: All the stats are as per WhoScored
#5 Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United)
The entire look at Manchester United has changed ever since Bruno Fernandes arrived in the Premier League in 2019. The Portuguese midfielder has been a vital player for the Red Devils.
The former Sporting Lisbon playmaker is one of the most efficient creative players in the Premier League right now. With his wide passing range, terrific vision and awareness, Bruno Fernandes can break the opposition defense at will.
His ability to create, combined with his goal-scoring qualities, has been very helpful for Manchester United.
Bruno Fernandes has so far assisted 22 times in the Premier League. He has been unlucky not to have some of his fine passes converted into goals. Despite that, the Portuguese is currently creating a clear-cut chance every 184 minutes since the start of the 2019-20 season.
#4 Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)
Not all attacking full-backs are as good with their passes as Trent Alexander-Arnold is. The English defender has been absolutely amazing and dangerous with his sublime crosses from the right.
Known for his attacking mindset, Trent Alexander-Arnold has done superbly under the management of Jurgen Klopp. Using his superb technique and vision, the Liverpool youngster has been a regular creator in the Premier League.
He has already assisted seven goals this season and the count is only going to increase with time. Trent-Alexander Arnold has created big chances every 184 minutes over the past two seasons.
#3 Callum Hudson-Odoi (Chelsea)
The Premier League has some fine English youngsters and Callum Hudson-Odoi is one of them. The Chelsea forward initially struggled with game-time but has fought his way into the starting XI under Thomas Tuchel.
Callum Hudson-Odoi is sharp and a very lively player on the pitch. His versatility to play wide and centrally makes him a very valuable player for Chelsea. With more minutes under his belt, the Englishman has only gotten better and more effective in attack.
He can take on players with his fine dribbling and quick footwork and at the same time create opportunities for his teammates. Since the 2019-20 season, Callum Hudson-Odoi has created a clear chance every 184 minutes.
#2 Riyad Mahrez (Manchester City)
Pep Guardiola has a terrific squad at Manchester City and with that kind of depth, silverware is almost guaranteed. One of his key players is former Leicester winger Riyad Mahrez.
The Algerian has been important in Manchester City's success so far under Guardiola. With his amazing footwork and mind-boggling dribbling skills, Mahrez likes to cut inside from the right flank to create or score goals. His ability to beat defenders makes him difficult to handle when on song.
Despite not starting that regularly, Mahrez is quite effective in creating chances. Since the 2019-20 season, the Algerian winger has created a big chance every 144 minutes.
#1 Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
There are plenty of quality midfielders in the Premier League but not many ooze the class like Kevin De Bruyne does. The Belgian has been scintillating for Manchester City, creating chances for them on a regular basis.
Kevin De Bruyne has a phenomenal passing range and vision and more importantly, he has the perfect technique to execute those defence-piercing passes. On his day, the former Chelsea midfielder can rip apart the opposition's backline with his playmaking abilities.
The 30-year old had a brilliant 2019-20 season where he recorded 20 assists in the Premier League. Since the start of that season, Kevin De Bruyne has created chances every 94 minutes to date. It's like creating a clear-cut chance in almost every match, which is why he's one of the best midfielders in the world.
