This is the European Assist Kings list for 2019/20. For European Assist Kings 2020/21, follow this link.
The European Assist Kings is unfortunately an award that doesn't exist, so here at FootballCritic we have decided to pull it together.
Similarly to the European Golden Shoe, we have assigned a weighting system to each competition, so elite leagues - the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 - have a weighting of 2, meaning that a player will be awarded two points for every assist they provide.
For the leagues ranked sixth to 30 in Uefa's coefficients rankings goals assisted are given a weighting of 1.5, and goals assisted in a league outwith the top 30, goals are given a rating of 1.
