About this leaderboard

Assists are the least memorised of the major statistics, and the most contested — there has never been a single universal definition of what counts, and attribution varies between data providers. Treat this as one consistent accounting rather than a settled historical record.

That obscurity is precisely why assists reward preparation. Numbers sit between the steep goal charts and the high appearance tallies, landing in bands that are genuinely useful for setting up a finish, and few opponents will have learned them. If you want an edge that costs an hour rather than a season, this is the leaderboard to study.
