Default The best passers in Europe

The top ten passers in Europe, Xavi is near the top as you'd expect but Leon Britton at number one!

Cheeky bid?

Tbf, Xavi has played 703 passes more to be 0.3% behind Brittain.

Quite how that works out I have no idea.

What was Scholes averaging 'in his pomp'? Sad we're not in any of the lists apart from the total passes completed.

Yeah, but surely accuracy over 1800 passes is more impressive than over 1100?

I don't think Gibbo gave the ball away against Crystal Palace, so shouldn't his 35 passes out of 35 put him at the top of such a list?

people get all snooty about about swansea getting praised but they're a good side and do it without any big superstars, just a really clear plan and good coaching, all power to them. plenty of players who've come up the leagues with them as well.

it'll be interesting to see how brendan rogers does in the next few years, see if he can establish them in the premier league.

20% fan-owned btw, lots to admire about them imo.

joe allen's a really interesting player, much younger than britten.

Wales have a good foundation for their midfield - Allen, Ramsey and Bale.
