Most Creative Players in Europe: December 2018

#2 Memphis Depay (Lyon)

Depay has been in sensational form since he made the move back to France, and Lyon have been huge beneficiaries. The Dutchman has made 49 key passes in total, which includes his 7 assists this season.

He has also scored 5 goals as his side sits fourth in the table, just two points behind the second place. Depay plays a crucial role in this team, and he floats in central positions which enables him to impact the game the most. If he continues this form, he seems primed for a move to a bigger club.

#1 Dimitri Payet (Marseille)

Payet has been in great form this season

Payet has always been at the top of this statistic, and he continues to excel in it this season as well. No player has managed more than his 56 key passes. Surprisingly though, he has just 5 assists, which perhaps speaks more about his teammates than himself.

The Frenchman has hit double figures for assists in each of the past three seasons, and he seems primed to breach that threshold this time as well. Marseille are currently fifth in the league, and Payet's goals and assists will be vital in their quest for the Champions League places.
