This season, Ryan Giggs overtook Thiery Henry as the leading assists maker in the EPL this decade on 63 assists.

After last night's performance against West Brom, he should be up to 66, so I'll update this when the official site has been updated.

Nice to see Wayne Rooney in 5th position and Ronaldo in 7th respectively.

Think Wayne Rooney will go on to beat Giggsy's record.

As always, stats are half the story and Ryan has been playing for a long, long time, but is still an achievement nonetheless!

Great achievement by Giggsy. Yesterday's assist to Ron was quality. And also I' m happy to see Rooney and Ronaldo there especially 5th and 7th. I hope when rooney returns he'll be in front of jailbird.

 

[zoran_zlatanov]

Lol,
So many United players
No words to describe Giggs's achievement
I didn't know that Berbatov has 31 assists And for just 2,5 years

 

[Cappy]

Wow. Didn't realize there were any more records left for the man. What a legend.

 

[Clarky101]

more amazing is the fact luis boa morte (whatever the spelling is) made that list

 

[reddwarf]

Fabregas being 6th on the list is very impressive considering his age.

Well done to Ryan but looking at some of the names behind him who are still playing I don't think he'll be top in a few years.

 

[peterswellman]

Ashley young is quality. 31 already, that kid is destined for greatness.

 

[abojodeh]

assists are recorded since what season ?

 

[razz1979]

Quite surprised Beckham isn't in there

 

[abojodeh]

Quite surprised Beckham isn't in there

i guess those assists are recorded since only a few seasons

coz you also can't see Cantona Zola or Yorke on the list

 

[RedForceRising]

assists are recorded since what season ?

Since the inception of the Premier League, which was in 1992.

 

[abojodeh]

Since the inception of the Premier League, which was in 1992.

and no Becks

 

[Ozzy]

That cant be right

 

[abojodeh]

Rfr mate you got it wrong

actim never recorded assist before 2000/2001 season

D'oh forgot to save the crop

if it was recorded since 1992 it would have been nonsense that Becks and Cantona are not on the top of the list

didn't beckham have 20 assist in one season in 99 thats enough to get him in the list wuthout counting the numerous assist he had all the other seasons before

 

[RedForceRising]

That is definitely possible.

Now can you please, resize your images please, they have knocked this thread out of allignment.

I'll check some other stats site, to see if Giggs is the man.

 

[abojodeh]

ok i will resize it

but am sure the list is correct but its not since the beginning of the epl

actim is the most trusted statics site imo

You are right about the stats being only from this decade, so I have changed the title of this thread


Also, apparently Giggsy and Becks are the top assists makers in the prem.

That's really interesting to see, great for Giggs to be at the top. I'm suprised to see Henry so high up aswell, just shows what a great player he was, scoring so many and assisting so many. I think there's a good chance Rooney will head that list one day

 

[hdcantona]

i guess those assists are recorded since only a few seasons

coz you also can't see Cantona Zola or Yorke on the list

Agreed - so it is from 01/02

 

[piazza]

more amazing is the fact luis boa morte (whatever the spelling is) made that list

And Drogba!

Anyway, big ups to Giggsy!
