New Premier League "Playmaker" Award

[MillionMilesAway]

I'm sure Silva does. Unfortunately, I don't know where you can get access to extended assist stats without being an Opta user. I have got a copy of an article about the season Chelsea last won league under Maureen (14/15?) which was all about the limitations of the flat assists figure. In that particular season, Hazard was way out front on extended assists (last five touches before a goal). Yaya was actually second (despite the world and DD saying he did little that season) and Merlin was fourth.

That's interesting. It's very much on the killer pass context. This season, Silva has put Sane down the inside left inside the area for him to knock it across to Aguero/Sterling. It's very much his thing!

I have other dislikes about assists - if you're the designated corner taker, then you'll benefit from it for example, and that doesn't seem right. I've always thought it was bobbins!

I reckon they should get rid of all of these awards and just replace them with one big award for the best team.

Give it to Eddy!

New award designed to run alongside the golden glove and golden boot.

About time in my opinion.

Bet Mctominay is excited.

Dead heat between Alli and Wheelchair. Oh sorry, I thought you said wannabe wide-boy.

Wheelchair?
