He would have had 50 assists in 158 minutes or he could have scored an own goal, given a lame performance with 0 assists.. We will never know! We are going by what we know. By the way, why are you avoiding the other stats on that imagine?

Once again, can I remind you that is the prime of Fab in terms of numbers but not Ozil’s!

sleekdot:
You mean the world cup where Mata played a sum total of 20mins vs Honduras or the Euro cup where he played 3 mins as a time wasting sub

To win both World up and Euro, Spain played about 1250mins and Mata participated in 23 of those mins

Make we no lie, Mata had as much influence in winning those games as those of us typing from Nairaland

Roland17:
Go back and read my first comment about this topic and you would see where I said both players are no scrubs and this is not a debate about apples and oranges. Meaning both players are legit superstars in their own right. For me it boils down to length of prime, numbers and relevance. So scratch that last paragraph.

The image contains stats that support my argument and debunks a lot of your claims. So please be careful not to imply I plagiarized the narrative/ article that came along the image because that would be totally false. Just saying..

33/1 is 34 appearances for Fab so he is short only 1 game but that does not offer much difference because he could have gone without registering an assist in that game, he could also have gone on to register 20 assists in that game right? Well, we will never know.

The data about key passes should be most important stat for anyone who understands how to read the data. Ozil beats him in every category in that image and more importantly, this is not even Ozil’s best season in his career.. Do you realize that?

Nevertheless, the two campaigns were both remarkable in their own right, but who did it better?

Well, simply put, [as far as the pair's rate of assists were concerned the figures are astonishingly similar. While Ozil registered one more (19) in 2015/16 than Fabregas the season previous (18), the German played more minutes, with their figures in terms of minutes per assist coming in at 160.6 for the Spain international and 160.5 for the Arsenal star.

That theme of Ozil marginally winning out remains consistent throughout the duo's creative stats in truth. He averaged 3.3 key passes per 90 minutes to Fabregas' 3, completed 12 accurate through balls to the Chelsea man's 11 and boasted a slightly superior pass accuracy to boot (86.3 per cent to 85.2 per cent).

In fact, the only creative category where there is a clear difference - and it's in Ozil's favour once more - is in terms of what Opta define as 'big chances created'. In that sense Fabregas' impressive tally of 16 was blown out of the water by the German's 28 the following season.

All in all, then, it's little wonder why it was Mesut Ozil that earned the higher WhoScored rating for his efforts in 2015/16 (7.66) than Fabregas in 2014/15 (7.62). Both players have subsequently and perhaps unsurprisingly failed to reach the same heights since, but will always have those remarkable stats to fall back on.

Roland17:
Baba rubbish! Cesc had prime D. Costa in front of him, Ozil had Welbeck, Giroud and other useless strikers and remained on top of the assist charts!

Numbers don’t lie! The stat below is the prime of Fabregas in terms of numbers, not even Ozil’s but keep an eye on the “Big Chance created” category where Ozil dwarfs him.

Unlimited22:
He didn't play with Henry and Van Persie at all.


No o. It was only Adebayor he played with all through. The same Adebayor who also had a 20-goal season.

Ozil at Arsenal topped assist chart with striking phenomena and greats like Olivier Giroud, Joel Campbell and Danny Welbeck.

But go off mate, numbers obviously don't tell the whole story.

Melvyn11:
Ozil had 19 assists with Giroud and co

Ozil had 16 and 15 league assists respectively with Bremen as well.

This agenda that he only racked those assists because of Ronaldo and other world class attackers is dead on arrival.

Kimbeast:
Found this on Reddit: Which of these players would you buy in their prime? Mata, Ozil, Fabregas or David Silva?

obainojazz:
Someone that drank goals while at Arsenal

Ibime:
No wonder the number of players here dey expand. Once betting companies start offering prizes, the whole of Naija go start to play the game

PETUK:
which Ibime is battling relegation? Someone who bet9ja has given 5k for clinging 100 points

biomustry:
U sef see am

Skimpledawg:
Wike has done well.

Although, boys would on the flipside prefer job creations also. The outcry is much

timay:
After that what else?. As of you guys have never had controversial decision go your way before. Or other teams that had penalties don't get controversial ones too as well.
Someone played just 4 pks last season, all of a sudden he's a PK merchant. But another person has scored 70% of his goals with PK so far, all of a sudden you guys develop amnesia to that and started turning Amala claim way and manner penalty was gotten. I mean what is the sense in that nonsense you guys are spewing.
If you want to troll, do it with sense and stop talking like kids. it's nauseating to say the least

Skimpledawg:
Yes. Drove past Garrison flyover to Rumuola yesterday. Omo, won't lie, the place make sense.

Wike did well there I must commend.

Ehen bros, the Etche road is motorable? Have they fixed those dangerous ditches?

Ibime:
I have more points than the team in first place and have the 4th highest points total which goes to show I just get unlucky draws each week. Imagine Obaino scoring 76 on the week he is playing me.

iamoyindamola:
E shock you too

iamoyindamola:
Yes bro

raumdeuter:
Thank God for his protection

pamcode:
Just seeing your post about the accident. Thank God your life was not lost. God is your strength bro.

Skimpledawg:
Bros, how your body now?

Thank God for safe trip.

I'm seriously considering not traveling with my car this December o

That Abia road still bad? Where Una pass?

afrodoc2:
Sorry to hear that bro. Great to know no lives were lost and you didn’t sustain major injuries.

Same thing happened to me about a month ago. Apart from 2 bashed cars and a bit of neck and upper back discomfort from whiplash i was okay.

You can buy a new car but can’t buy a new life.

Thank God it was nothing serious..
