According to this stat Cesc Fabregas is the best centre-midfielder in Premier League history

Posted by

Premier League football has a long lasting debate about who’s better – Scholes, Gerrard or Lampard? Well it doesn’t matter because statistically, Cesc Fabregas is better than them all.

It’s a question that causes controversy everywhere ‘Who was the better centre-midfielder?’ and it comes down to who won the most medals, who scored more goals but for some reason ‘who got the most assists’ seems to be the breaker.

For some reason former Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas is never really included in the debate, perhaps because he’s not English, but the Spaniard has more assists than all the others.

According to the Premier League’s official website, Spanish midfielder Cesc Fabregas has managed to provide 111 assists in England’s top flight during his 13 years playing in the league.

All time Premier League assists Top 10:

  1. Ryan Giggs – 162
  2. Cesc Fabregas – 111
  3. Wayne Rooney – 103
  4. Frank Lampard – 102
  5. Denis Bergkamp – 94
  6. David Silva – 93
  7. Steven Gerrard – 92
  8. James Milner – 85
  9. David Beckham – 80
  10. Teddy Sheringham – 76

Fabregas is second in the all time assists rankings for the Premier League coming second to Manchester United’s Ryan Giggs who sits on top with 162.

Maybe going forward people might start adding Fabregas to the who’s better conversation unless it’s strictly an English players only debate.
