Some players are blessed with the ability to create chances and others, unfortunately, are not.<\/b><\/p>\n

It takes a particular type of player to be able to carve out an opportunity for their teammate by spotting a gap in a defensive line, whether through producing a pinpoint pass, whipping in a stunning cross, or executing an accurate set-piece.<\/p>\n

Over the years, the Bundesliga has been home to some of the top chance creators in the game and even after a big departure, 2021\/22 looks set to bring more of the same. Mr. Underrated Thomas M\u00fcller was the creative king of the German top flight last season, as the only man to hit the 90+ mark with 93 chances created – with all but five coming from open play. The German finished four chances clear of Eintracht Frankfurt’s Filip Kostic (89), but the Serbian’s future in the Bundesliga isn’t guaranteed.<\/p>\n

There was then a big jump to Christopher Nkunku of RB Leipzig who completed the top three with 71 chances created, 33 of which came from set pieces. After Nkunku, there’s a long train of players separated by just one chance created, starting with Christian G\u00fcnter on 68. He finished the campaign one clear of Jadon Sancho, who has now left the Bundesliga for Manchester United, with Joshua Kimmich (66) and Vincenzo Grifo (65) following after the Englishman.<\/p>\n

Christopher Trimmel, Jonas Hofmann and Borna Sosa completed the top 10 and are all still in the Bundesliga, joining the long list of players hoping to take Thomas M\u00fcller’s crown while trying also trying dethrone Bayern Munich with their teams.<\/p>\n

Can it be done? Or will it be business as usual for M\u00fcller and Bayern? Keep track of the top 10 assist leaders below as the 2021\/22 campaign progresses.<\/p>\n
