Southampton v Manchester City - Premier League

1. José Holebas

Watford FC v Brighton & Hove Albion - Premier League
Holebas is the assist leader of the league with 4 assists in 4 games

With Watford still undefeated in the league, it is no wonder that two players from The Hornets feature in our list. It just shows that it has been a strong team performance by them so far. And no player has been more outstanding than José Holebas. The left back, who also takes set-pieces for Watford, has four assists already to his name.

Having featured in all of the fixtures for Watford, he has also managed to score one goal, that too from his weaker foot. And not to forget, he is doing all this at the age of 34. He is a real gem, and known for his ability to drive in and deliver precise crosses into the box. No wonder he has 4 assists already.

He is not the quickest left-back, not the strongest, also not the strongest in the air, but has all the right stats. With 2.3 key passes per match and 83% tackle success rate, he is a real contributor to the high flying start of The Hornets in the league and is also the most underrated player of the league so far.
