The 10 players with the most goals and assists in Europe in 22-23: Messi, Neymar, Haaland…
Most attacking players create goals or score goals - but the stars of Barcelona, Manchester City and PSG are among those doing both at the start of the 2022-23 season.
Using transfermarkt data, we've compiled a list of the top 10 players in Ligue 1, Bundesliga, Premier League, La Liga and Serie A by combined goals and contributions decisive.
We doubt you'll be too surprised by the identity of number one...
=6. Khvisha Kvaratskhelia (16)Napoli have taken Serie A by storm so far and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia has received plenty of plaudits along the way.
The Georgian winger has done light work adjusting to a new league after leaving Rubin Kazan in the summer. We absolutely love it.
=6. Randal Kolo Muani (16)Randal Kolo Muani has been great fun to watch for Eintracht Frankfurt this season.
The French star moved to Germany this summer, after two successful seasons with Nantes in Ligue 1.
He already has five goals and 11 assists to his name in just 15 Bundesliga appearances this season, which is already quite a lot.
=6. Jamal Musiala (16)
The 19-year-old, who spent most of his upbringing in south London, saw the void left by Robert Lewandowski at Bayern Munich and decided to step in and become the new Bundesliga MVP .
Nine goals and seven assists in 15 appearances so far. A key reason why Bayern will inevitably be heading for another league title, and a player we can't help but love.
=6. John David (16)The Canadian striker has been in fine form for Lille this season as he has scored 12 goals and provided four assists in 19 appearances so far.
Lens is currently on a six-game unbeaten streak in Ligue 1, which dates back to October. With just three points separating them from Monaco, they will be aiming for a place in the top four.
=6. Ivan Toney (16)The Brentford striker can't stop scoring goals at the moment. With 13 goals already this season, he has already surpassed his goalscoring tally from last season and it's only January. Toney has also provided three assists for his teammates so far.
He's also probably the best penalty taker in the world right now.
=6. Harry Kane (16)If it hadn't been for a Norwegian free score robot, we'd all be thrilled with the season Kane is having right now. The Tottenham striker has already scored 15 goals, while providing one assist.
If he were to maintain his goalscoring ratio of 0.75 goals per game, he would end the season with 29 goals, which would be his second most prolific season to date. Too bad the rest of the Tottenham team didn't live up to their level.
=4. Victor Osimhen (17)Manchester United are reportedly considering a move for Osimhen and it's easy to see why. Napoli have been electric this season and he has been their main source of goals.
The 24-year-old has scored 13 goals and provided four assists so far. Since their return to action after the World Cup, he has scored five goals in four appearances and is in fine form at the moment.
=4. Robert Lewandowski (17)Despite the exchange of Bavaria for Barcelona, there has been absolutely no drop in the number of goals and assists for Lewandowski.
He netted 13 goals past bewildered La Liga goalkeepers while also providing four assists as the Camp Nou quickly fell in love with the Poland international.
3.Lionel Messi (18)The obituaries were premature; Messi's first season at PSG was quietly disappointing with just six goals and 14 assists.
Now a World Cup champion, we've seen a vintage Messi this season as the Argentine has already bagged eight goals and 10 assists for the Ligue 1 champions.
Messi is on fire right now.
2.Neymar (21)Neymar looked set for PSG's exit door this summer with fellow owner Kylian Mbappe reportedly unhappy to play alongside the 30-year-old for much longer.
But the center of the Brazilian attack reacted in the best possible way; stop the extracurricular nonsense, roll up his socks and contribute with a remarkable 11 goals and 10 assists in 17 appearances for Christophe Galtier's side.
