That figure is not just leading the chart, it has opened up a massive gap over every other player in the league.<\/p>\n<p>The next closest name is Dominik Szoboszlai with 65 chances. The difference between first and second stands at 55, which underlines the level of dominance.<\/p>\n<p>Further down the list, Anton Stach and Declan Rice both sit on 61. Florian Wirtz follows with 60, while Bukayo Saka and Enzo Fern\u00e1ndez have 57 each.<\/p>\n<p>The list continues with Rayan Cherki on 54, Cody Gakpo on 50, and Pedro Neto on 49.<\/p>\n<p>Fernandes\u2019 numbers have also made history for Manchester United. His 120 chances created is the highest by any United player in a single Premier League season since records began in 2003\/04.<\/p>\n<p>The scale of the gap has become the main talking point. While several players are clustered closely behind, none have come near the league leader\u2019s output.<\/p>\n<p>With games still left in the season, the focus now shifts to how far Fernandes can extend this record, and whether anyone can close even a fraction of the distance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2025\/26 Premier League season has produced a striking trend in chance creation, with one player pulling far ahead of\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":202,"featured_media":45045,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4650],"tags":[420,3686,3691,3918,3474,1823,249,2073,5395],"class_list":["post-51231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-premier-league","tag-bruno-fernandes","tag-david-ornstein","tag-dominik-szoboszlai","tag-english-premier-league","tag-enzo-fernandez","tag-fabrizio-romano","tag-manchester-united","tag-red-devils","tag-statch"],"reading_time":"1 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51231","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/202"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=51231"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51231\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":51232,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/51231\/revisions\/51232"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/45045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=51231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=51231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=51231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
