No goal scorer can thrive without quality service and BetVictor has uncovered the top chance creators this season via data scouting.

The performance of every player was analysed using two key performance metrics: chances created per 90 and expected assists (xA) per 90.

These metrics were combined into a unique ‘creator rating’, which considers both the frequency and quality of chances being made by every player this season.

Chances created per 90 provides insight into the frequency at which players are creating chances, whereas expected assists per 90 (xA) provides insight into the quality of the chances.

Combining the two to produce the ‘creator rating’ gives a comprehensive picture of chance frequency and quality, with the top-rated players being those who create a high rate of high-quality chances.

Per 90 performance data was obtained from Opta for the 2022/23 season

Performance stats were standardized and combined using a 50/50 weighted score. The scores were then scaled on a five-to-ten scale to generate the creator ratings.
