RANKED: The 10 Serie A players who have created the most chances
With the Serie A season 11 games old, it is time to take a look at who is creating the most chances for their strikers. Beyond well-known stars like Lorenzo Insigne and Miralem Pjanic, however, players from less-heralded clubs have also done a lot to set up their teammates, despite limited coverage from the mainstream media.
Whilst Empoli trequartista Riccardo Saponara's presence may not be a surprise for the calcio aficionados among you, Chievo’s Valter Birsa has more than rebounded from his terrible experience at Milan.
Despite being the Serie A leaders together with Fiorentina, there are no Inter players in this list, which underlines just how much Roberto Mancini needs to do to turn his team into a lethal threat.
Lorenzo Insigne sits 3rd in the top ten, having created 26 goal attempts for Napoli. The product of the Partenopei academy has also scored six goals and registered three assists in 11 appearances.
Napoli is the only side that can boast two players in the Top 10, as Marek Hamisk is 5th with 26 scoring opportunities created.
Fiorentina’s Borja Valero has created just one more goal attempts than Insigne. The former Villareal playmaker is the second best player in a table lead by midfield maestro and free kick virtuoso Miralem Pjanic.
The Bosnia and Herzegovina International has created 30 goals attempts for the Giallorossi as well as having already plundered five goals, and registered as many assists.
Juventus and Milan are represented by the likes of Paulo Dybala and Giacomo Bonavetura, while Inter target Diego Perotti and Atalanta captain Maxi Moralez also feature in the Top 10.
