3) Mesut Ozil – Arsenal (19 Assists – 2015/16)
The German’s reputation did take a hit after the way things ended for him at the Emirates, but there can be no doubting his talent. He was one of the best playmakers of the last twenty years.
Pundits have never stopped criticising Ozil for his languid style and his lack of pressing but, when you can create so many goalscoring opportunities, he can be forgiven for some of his flaws.
