Using Who Scored‘s statistical system, here are Manchester City’s five most creative players in terms the average number of key passes per game in the Premier League this season.
1) David Silva
Not surprising, as we have become used to the Spaniard running things at the Etihad for some time now. He has created 27 key passes in seven appearances, which is an average of 3.9 per appearance this season.
2) Samir Nasri
The Frenchman deserves a lot of credit this season as he has thrived under Manuel Pellegrini. The former Arsenal midfielder has made 24 key passes this season, which is an average of 2.2 per game.
3) Sergio Aguero
The forward is one of the most able strikers in European football and his eight goals and four assists in his 10 Premier League games this season haven’t gone unnoticed. He has also made 1.9 key passes per game.
4) Fernandinho
Arriving at the Etihad in the summer, the Brazilian has made 552 passes overall, which has included 13 key balls – an average of 1.4 per game.
5) Jesus Navas
His speed, his range of tricks and his delivery allow him to boss the flanks at the Etihad and it’s been a positive few months for the Spain international.
He has made 12 key passes this season, which spreads out to 1.3 per game.
