These playmakers turn the game with one creative pass.

Playmakers are crucial components of football whose intuition can infiltrate a strong defence, and we have seen such players amaze us with their assists in this sport, and we are thrilled to be seeing them play every day. Lionel Messi and Kevin De Bruyne have been the rulers of their teams, providing a profusion of assists with their captivating passes.

These players' vision is incredible, as they can tear down defences, generate goals for their forwards, and collect assists day in and day out, and however we have selected the top five players with the highest assists in 2022.

5. Neymar - 19 Assists

Neymar is more of a playmaker than a goalscorer, and he is one of the most underappreciated individuals in the sport, despite being Brazil's leading scorer. Neymar's performance has frequently been negated by injuries and his off-the-ball behaviour. On the pitch, though, he is the man you can rely on and the most important player who can influence the course of a game with his outstanding passing range; the 30-year-old has 19 assists in 42 games in 2022.

4. Cody Gakpo - 23 Assists

The Dutchman has been fantastic, and his performance has piqued the interest of many elite clubs for 2022. Despite being a striker, Gakpo is a complete player, and his goal contribution indicates that he is not just a goalscorer but also a creator, which is why clubs are eager to get the 23-year-old. In 2022, the Dutch have 23 assists in 55 matches across all competitions.

3. Kevin De Bruyne - 27 Assists

His mere existence for Manchester City is fundamental, as is his ability to turn the game on its head and help propel play from defence to attack. Comparatively, with Lionel Messi, Kevin De Bruyne is the best playmaker in 2022, with 27 assists in 53 matches across all competitions. This year, the playmaker has also broken Steven Gerrard's record for most assists. He also has as many assists as Lionel Messi in the 2022-23 season.

2. Dusan Tadic - 28 Assists

As an attacking midfielder, his creativity on the ball is exceptional, as is the way he alters his play to match his team's playing style. Many people will forget that Tadic also broke Lionel Messi's record for most assists in a calendar year (36) with 37 in 2021. The 34-year-old is equally effective on and off the ball; his shifts are always worth observing, as are the ways he generates space and then exploits it with his passing between the defence line. Tadic has been outstanding for Ajax in 2022, collecting 28 assists in 39 games.

1. Lionel Messi - 30 Assists

Lionel Messi has modified well after losing his pace in football; he is not a player who can instantly accelerate and beat defenders coming his way, though the latter remains as he can still take 3-4 defenders, his transition to a deeper role from the centre of the pitch has enabled him to set up goals for his teammates. And, as usual, the 35-year-old has the most assists in 2022, with 30 in 51 games across all competitions.
