De Bruyne has provided more assists than any Premier League player in all competitions, despite missing the first half of this season
There is nothing unusual about having the most assists out of all the players in the during a season… except for the fact he missed almost the whole first half of this one with a hamstring injury. After going off 21 minutes into ’s season opener against on August 11, De Bruyne did not feature in the top flight again until January 13, when he came off the bench away to Newcastle.
It is quite remarkable that he has racked up 15 assists in only 19 appearances since the middle of January, especially with those quiet matches against the bigger sides thrown in. Perhaps that provides some evidence that he is not the De Bruyne of old — he has for years been the player to decide the very biggest matches in City’s favour, something that Foden will have to emulate regularly if he is to be the long-term heir. And De Bruyne has some mitigating circumstances, too.
