Most chances created in the World Cup 2022

Most chances created in the World Cup 2022
Messi, Ronaldo and Mbappe are the big stars at the World Cup, but who has actually created the most chances in the tournament?

We’ve looked at the 6 players with most chances created so far. 

1. Antoine Griezmann
Griezmann has now played 70 consecutive games for France and has again proved to be a key player for France in this final round. Deschamps has great faith in his offensive player due to his work ethic and eye for his teammates.
He is also the player who has the most chances created:

Key passes per game: 3.4
Shots per game:  1.2 
Chances created: 17

2. Lionel Messi
The greatest of all time? Almost everyone thinks Lionel Messi deserves to get the trophy he lacks in his collection. His level for this World Cup shows how much Messi wants this, at the age of 35 he shows his attacking qualities. Goals/Assists and the chance-creating passes are a pleasure to watch!

Key passes per game: 2.6
Shots per game: 4.3
Chances created: 16

3. Ousmane Dembele
The 25-year-old Barcelona player has established himself in the starting line-up for France. He is chosen because of his challenging game and his ability to find his teammates. He has 2 assists so far at the World Cup and his partnership with Griezmann and Mbappe has been some of the best seen in this year's tournament.

Key passes per game:  2.2
Shots per game: 1.6
Chances created: 11

4. Theo Hernandez
After the injury to his brother Lucas Hernandez in the first game against Australia, Theo Hernandez has probably been the best left back in the tournament. His work defensively has been solid but offensively he has really shown his qualities, the AC Milan player has been important for France's offense with 2 assists.

Key passes per game: 2.8
Tackles per game: 2.3 
Chances created: 11

5. Dusan Tadic
Serbia definitely did not have the World Cup that was hoped for, with only 1 point they finished last in the group and had to leave the tournament after the group stage.
Ajax player Tadic was, as expected, the profile of the team and with 2 assists in 3 matches, he can be satisfied with his own performance.

Key passes per game: 3.3
Shots per game: 0.6
Chances created:  10

6. Cody Gakpo 
With 3 goals, Gakpo has been Holland's big profile and is undoubtedly one of the most sought-after players when the transfer window opens again.
He can not only score goals, but he is also skilled in the interaction with his teammates and the structure of the game itself.

Key passes per game: 2.1
Shots per game: 1.1
Chances created: 10
