3. Jonathan De Guzmán (Swansea): 1023

He is the third Swansea player on this list, and one of three players to have made over 1000 successful passes, suggesting the type of football being encouraged at the Liberty Stadium. He has an incredible 90% passing accuracy despite all those passes, but almost 45% of his passes are backward passes owing to the possession-based approach advocated by Swansea manager Micahel Laudrup. The Dutchman has created 31 chances this season, including 3 assists and 28 key passes to go with an average of 63.1 passes per game.
