Big chances created: a fabulous four headed by Messi

Issue number 285 of the CIES Football Observatory Weekly Post highlights the players who created the most big chances for their teammates in big-5 league matches over three different periods: last year, last three years and last five years. Lionel Messi is clearly at the head of the tables for the last five and three years, while Ángel Di María tops the last-year rankings.

According to the data from OptaPro, over the five past years, Lionel Messi created a big chance every 90 minutes. The frequency of big chances created by the Argentinean went even up during the last year (87 minutes). This clearly indicates that the Barcelona prodigy is far from being on the downhill slope of his career.

At the second and third positions for the different periods analysed are Ángel Di María and Kevin de Bruyne for the last five years, Thomas Müller and Kevin de Bruyne for the past three, as well as Thomas Müller and Lionel Messi for the last one. During last year, besides Lionel Messi, three other players have created at least one big chance every 90 minutes: Thomas Müller (every 72 minutes), Ángel Di María (82 minutes) and Kevin de Bruyne (every 87 minutes). This is the fab four for chance creation!

Good pressing by Lyon. Aouar would fit us perfectly. 

Lyon have one HUGE weakness

horrific CB's other than Joachim Andersen, who has himself not done as well as I thought he would (mostly due to niggling injuries)

mind blowing a really good team has pure shit across the entire roster at a crucial position

far worse than ours

to show you how shit they are

Arsenal has better, especially when their loanee William Saliba comes in next season

I forgot that France also has 2 cups

so PSG could become the firt team to do a linear 7 trophy run

and perhaps

if they do win the CL

they could do it in the same season next season as well

so not sold on Tuchel as the manager to take them to that level

Pep, for sure

especially if they hold onto Mbappe and Neymar and then tweak around the edges at the back 4

What's going on with Ajax? 

Again losing and close to 4th game in the last 5 without a goal. 

simple

no more de Jong

I rate him 2nd best CMF in the world, maybe 3rd

Saúl Ñíguez 
Frenkie je Jong
Marco Verratti    
Sergej Milinkovic-Savic 
Paul Pogba (when his head is right)
Thiago (Bayern)
Toni Kroos
Artur
Miralem Pjanic
Mateo Kovacic

he was their metronome
