Yamal and Guler Shine as Top Chance Creators in Europe for 2026

Lamine Yamal from Barcelona and Arda Guler from Real Madrid are now among the best chance creators in Europe for the 2026-27 season. This is according to stats from the top five leagues in Europe.

Yamal leads with 30 key passes. Guler follows closely with 28. This shows just how creative these young stars are in La Liga.

The ranking came out from Planet Football on Wednesday. It looks at key passes, which are the last passes made before a teammate shoots at goal. This includes leagues like the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1.

Yamal’s top position shows his growing impact at Barcelona. At just 19 years old, he continues to shine with his dribbling skills and chance creation.

Guler has also shown that he can break down defenses with sharp passing and great set-piece deliveries. Still, he has only two assists from his 28 key passes. This means some chances he created were missed by his teammates.

In fifth place is Paulo Dybala from Roma, with 23 key passes. This makes him one of Serie A’s top creative players. The Argentine also has an expected assists figure of 3.68, as per the ranking.

Italian player Giacomo Calo is in fourth with 24 key passes in six matches for Frosinone. Spanish midfielder Inigo Vicente is third with 25 key passes in eight games.

The list also includes some lesser-known players who have started strong this season.

Cristian Casseres from Toulouse, Amine Sbai from Angers, and Florian Thauvin from Lens each have 19 key passes. They are among the top creators in Europe’s main leagues.

David Raum, a left-back for RB Leipzig, also has 19 key passes in five matches. This shows he contributes well in attack from his defensive position.

Alberto Moleiro, a winger for Villarreal, rounds out the top 10 with 18 key passes. The 23-year-old has also scored two goals and provided three assists in eight La Liga matches, according to the report.

These numbers show how important creative players are early in the 2026-27 season. Both well-known stars and rising talents are making their presence felt across Europe.

With Yamal and Guler at the top, fans will keep a close eye on who becomes the season’s most productive chance creator as the campaign moves forward.
