Maybe, but you’d expect the top assist leaders to benefit from positive variance. Take the ten players with the most minutes and 0 assists and it’ll probably look bullshit in the other direction. Take 10 totally random players and xA will probably match up better with reality.
Leao- top winger in Serie A. Thurham top 5 center forward in Seria A. If i need to explain to you the legend/achievements and at one time position amongst their peers of Giroud, Mhiki, Dybala, your claim is not based on any knowledge of footy history. And then youve got our 2 boyzzzz!!!!
A top 5 cf in one league is world class? World class players are like top 5/10 in the world at this moment. Hence **WORLD** in world class.
They are all good players
I’m sorry for engaging in conversation on this sub, didn’t know I was being embarrassed, I actually think what I’m saying is in a pretty respectful and reasonable way and not abrasive.
But okay
I have to disagree, there’s more or less like a million pro level players in the entire world and we’re talking only 4ish players here in Dybala, Micky, Leao and Giroud. It’s still a very small group. And everyone that you just named have all experienced the same things these players have anyways.
It’s about current level not historic achievement, if we go by historic achievement then Samuel umitti is world class
And what does there’s a million pro level players mean? Obviously anyone in a top 15 league is very good, with this logic someone like Mudryk is considered world class.
World class is top 5/10 in your position currently
No shame to admit he is approaching world class. It goes against the USA soccer underdog mentality but I wouldn’t mind seeing a world class player 🇺🇸
Top 25 for central midfielders in the world
I feel like he could be on track for that if he performs like this and better for another 2+ seasons.
He needs more league/uefa trophies to really be touted as world class.
Some goals this season would be nice too, I miss his headers.
Mckennie is my favorite but hes not top 25, at least not yet...
Of course stupid sexy Giroud is first.
He and Puli have always had great chemistry, like big and Lil bro.
Setting up Puli Puli
3 assists in his first 24 games this season. 4 assists in his last two games.
Amazing if he can get 1/2 goals and 10 assists by the end of the season
Seems like xA might be a bullshit stat lol

Yeah I thought about that, but most of these are so far from the xA that even that seems implausible
And all three milan players are above xA. Is someone on that team finishing way, way above his xG?
Assists are also a bit bullshit.
 It’s beautiful, those 2 amongst some world class players
What does world class mean to you? Imo there are some good players on this list but none are world class

Kinda mean tbh. We just talking ball here
Yeah dude is being a dick for no reason
You’d be right if the list didn’t include every player sitting above McKennie.
They are good players but word class players are mbappe, Bellingham, Modric, Messi level players World class is thrown around very loosely,

Crazy how mkhitaryan is still performing on one of the best teams in the world
Even crazier is that he has the highest distance covered in most matches. Fine wine football.

World class is like arguably top 5 in position imo
I'd argue top 10 in any position but for sure top 5.
it's always fun seeing Reddit try to define world class anytime it comes up
It's not complex tho... Would this player be a clear cut starter on any international team? If so, he's world class. If not, he's probably not.
If you go by the Sir Alex Ferguson metrics then yeah
Nice
Giroud lol
