Time for a big, long Monday-morning table. Given our attacking buildup data, turns out it’s easy to calculate the number of attacking moves (moves that lead to shots, remember) in which each European player has been involved. That in turn makes it easy to identify each team’s prime creator – the player involved in the most attacking moves per 90, whether it be passes, shots, dribbles, whatever. The cut-off is 450 minutes, here they are:

Özil only just beating out half a dozen or so other Arsenal players in that free-wheeling attack, de Bruyne sneaking up on a limited number of minutes, and someone explain Villareal to me. Turns out they’re 5th, but they don’t appear to attack much?
