Premier League Gameweek 7 Creative Stats: Assists, Most Chances Created, Big Chances Created, Through Balls & More

The games are coming thick and fast, both domestically and on the continent, following the international break as the Premier League begins to take shape.

Tottenham Hotspur finally got off the mark at the seventh time of asking on Monday night, as Roberto De Zerbi oversaw a 3-1 win over Coventry City. The division’s top three - Manchester City, Arsenal and Brighton & Hove Albion - all picked up maximum spoils, getting the better of Ipswich Town, Nottingham Forest and Crystal Palace, respectively.

And with gameweek seven of the 2026/27 Premier League season in the books, we run through the creative stat leaders from the weekend’s action.

Premier League Assists: Big money Liverpool duo among those to shine

Having both gotten on the scoresheet in the 6-3 win over LASK last week, both Florian Wirtz and Bradley Barcola were on hand to assist in Liverpool’s 2-1 win at Brentford.

The big money Reds pair have come in for criticism in recent weeks but looked the part as Andoni Iraola oversaw victory in west London.

Wirtz and Barcola were two of 19 players to register an assist in gameweek seven, while no player provided multiple assists across the weekend’s action.

Premier League Chances Created: Wirtz makes 2026/27 history in win at Brentford

Not only was Wirtz on hand to register his second Premier League assist of the season, he did so from nine chances.

The German has now created more chances (20) than any other player in England’s top tier this term.

And not only were those nine opportunities the most in gameweek seven, it’s also a record in a Premier League match this season.

Chelsea’s Pedro Neto was Wirtz’s closest competitor as he created five chances, while Ryan Christie and Maxim De Cuyper both managed four.

Premier League Big Chances Created: Manchester pair do all they can for their respective sides

In terms of big chances created, Manchester pair Erling Haaland and Youri Tielemans, along with Alex Iwobi of Fulham, led the way for gameweek seven.

Haaland managed two in Manchester City’s 3-2 home win over Ipswich Town, as did Tielemans as Manchester United played out a 1-1 draw with rivals Leeds United.

Iwobi’s two big chances, meanwhile, came in Fulham’s 1-0 win over Hull City, their first victory in the Premier League this season.

A further 25 players, meanwhile, all managed one.

Premier League Through Balls Attempted: King works hard to pry Hull City apart

Fulham’s Josh King did everything in his power to help his side to a first Premier League win of the campaign on Saturday.

Indeed, King attempted four through balls in the narrow home triumph, which was more than any other player.

A further four players - John McGinn, Anton Stach, David Affengruber and Mohamed Belloumi - all managed two for their respective sides.

Premier League Passes: Man City centre-back pair lead the way

Manchester City dominated in their 3-2 win over Ipswich Town, enjoying 69.7% possession in the Etihad Stadium success.

Ruben Dias was the star man in City’s dominance as the Portugal international attempted 126 passes in the home victory.

Dias was key as City overwhelmed Ipswich

Centre-back partner Marc Guehi (116) was also key as City maintained their 100% start to the season.

Fulham centre-back Affengruber rounds off the top three, having made 110 passes against Hull City.
