Modified Mar 31, 2017 11:31 GMT

Highest pass accuracy

Unsurprisingly not many of the assists leaderboard make it to this list as they would have attempted certain risky passes in order to set up their team-mates. Most of the players on this list are either defensive midfielders or centre-backs whose main job is to circulate the ball and keep possession.

This can be seen from the fact that Barcelona’s Samuel Umtiti tops the list with an incredible pass accuracy % of 93. Toni Kroos is the only player from the assists leaderboard to make it to the top 10 in this list as well showing his incredible efficiency and importance to the Real Madrid squad.

The list is dominated by Real Madrid and Barcelona players with 3 players from each team making this list. From Real Madrid, Toni Kroos, Nacho and Kovacic make it while Barcelona, Umtiti, Rafinha and Mascherano make the list.
