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 Sevilla’s defensive midfielder Matias Kranevitter is on top of this list. The 23-year-old is on loan from Atletico Madrid and has done a tidy job whenever he has got the chance for Sevilla.
