Soccer statistics media Squaka unveiled the top 10 players who make the most open play chances in the 2024 English Premier League (EPL) game on the 11th (Korea time) and the top 10 players who recorded the most help in open play.
Creating a lot of chances in open play means that the team is in charge of playmaking. Most of the players at the top of the rankings are in charge of offensive command in the team.
Starting with Martin 외degaard (Arnall), who ranked first overall, Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United), Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City), and Alex Iwobi (Fulham) are all in charge of assembling attacks on the team.

Son Heung-min is a record that can be said to be great, but if you look at it a little bit, you can see that there are no players in Tottenham to support the offense. Even Son Heung-min was more likely to play as a striker in early 2024. I started playing as a winger again this season. It is absolutely not a good indicator that Son Heung-min is the number one chance-making team in the open play situation.
The biggest problem Tottenham has shown since the end of last season is the finishing pass and goal determination in attack. There is a lack of players who can poke killer passes between defensive organizations that can create opportunities for teammates with quality passes. I expected this role from James Madison, but Madison did not perform very well in the second half of last season. This season, he played well at the beginning of the season, but has recently been pushed out of the starting position.

In this Ipswich batting, it was revealed how much the offensive work and ball transport were focused on Son Heung-min. According to data released by Markstats, a soccer statistics media outlet, Son Heung-min is overwhelmingly No. 1 in the offense when looking at the ratio of each Tottenham player advancing the ball with passes and dribbles in the match against Ipswich.
Son Heung-min was first in both pass and dribble. There was not a single player close to Son Heung-min in the offense. In other words, the offense will not be solved at all without Son Heung-min.
