Top 10 Players With Most Assists In A Season Since 2011

One of the most underappreciated aspects of soccer is a football player providing an assist that results in a goal.

Assists often go unnoticed because players are typically evaluated based on how many goals they score in a season, but there is no question that providing assists is the foundation of a player’s quality.

Rarely do we see a list of the players who have helped their mates find the back of the net.
