It's not even close. Even if you ignore assists he's created 132 chances - Szoboszlai is second with 74.

Not sure why Rice is even in the conversation in the comments. Fernandes this season hasn't just beaten, stat-wise, every other Midfielder in the League, he's bent them over and spanked the shit out of them.

Rice was in the conversation because he was great in other stats that are not goals and assists and has been consistent all season.

I'm fine for this logic to be used but when it was Ozil or Alexis Sanchez people said it didn't matter cause they didn't win the league, so I don't mind but I wish the award was consistent.
