Based on players who have more than the average number of appearances in the Premier League this season, here are the top five passers of the ball in terms of accuracy according to WhoScored.
1) Javi Garcia – Manchester City
The Spaniard has played six games this season for Manuel Pellegrini’s side and has a pass success of 94.2% so far. Although he’s hardly a main player at the Etihad at the moment he is still proving to be a strong outlet when called upon.
2) Mikel Arteta – Arsenal
Arteta had a remarkable season last time out with the Gunners but injuries have hampered him this season. He has, however, still managed a pass success of 93.7% and managed four shots, an assist and a goal in five games.
3) Mathieu Flamini – Arsenal
Arguable the brightest signing of the season, the Frenchman has completed 93.2% of his passes and shored up the Gunners midfield no end. His absence is certainly felt when he is unable to play as we have seen on numerous occasions this campaign.
4) Leon Britton – Swansea
The little Englishman is usually overlooked when it comes to praise but he has completed 93% of his passes from his five appearances so far. While Jonjo Shelvey and Jose Canas are the main duo in the Swansea midfield, Britton continues to impress when give then chance.
5) Laurent Kocielny – Arsenal
Although his defensive contribution has been dodgy at points this season, the France international has completed 92.5% of his passes.
