About this leaderboard

Ligue 1 has a long record of producing creative players who moved on early, which makes its assist board unusually shaped: substantial totals from those who stayed, and smaller ones from players whose reputations were built elsewhere.

Those smaller totals are the point. They fill the awkward middle range where legs are decided, and because Ligue 1 assists are among the least memorised numbers in football, they are rarely the answer an opponent reaches for first.
