The best final passers in the game (statistically speaking)

These are the 10(36) best final passers so far this season, when ground down to pure numbers.
I compiled and collected this information from the BPL, Serie A, La Liga, Bundesliga and Ligue 1. What many consider to be the top five leagues in Europe atm.

They are in order and grouped from key passes per game with the following number afterwards relating to the total amount of key passes.
So from left to right its name, league/team, key passes per game/total key passes for the season thus far

What is a key pass you ask? Well it is the final pass made before said player has a shot on target or not. So say for instance Xavi had passed to Fabregas and Fabregas shoots, that would be a key pass.

There are some very surprising and pretty shocking names in the list lol...
