What Was the Highest Premier League Assists Total in 13/14? Top Assist Numbers!

Okay so today I got this random question stuck in my head after watching some old Prem highlights: who actually bagged the most assists back in the 13/14 season? Honestly couldn’t remember for the life of me. Felt like something I should know, so I figured I’d dig around properly and document the whole mess.

The Clueless Start

Right, first thing I did was grab my laptop from the sofa – tripped over the charger cable, obviously – and just straight up Googled “most assists Premier League 13/14”. Simple. Binged some football stats sites. Annoyingly, the sites kept showing me stuff for different seasons or pushing current players. Felt dumb. Started adding words like “official” and “record”. Still got flooded with ads for betting sites. Useless.

Switched gears. Dug through my own crap instead. Found some ancient football books piled up behind my monitor. Dust bunnies flew everywhere. Cracked open this thick Premier League season review book from god knows when. Leafed through it, fingers getting grimy. Found the stats section… only to realize it was the bloody 2011/12 season. Classic. Threw the book back down. Dust cloud. Coughed. Win.

Deep Dive & Chaos

Alright, getting irritated now. Decided to hit football forums. Those places are usually full of stat nerds, right? Scrolled through some thread called “Premier League Legends – Stats Debate.” Took ages. Saw people arguing about Gerrard vs Fabregas assists for like 50 pages. Found a mention:

• Ramires? No way.

Steven Gerrard, loads of assists.

Someone swearing Rooney had a ton.

Not helpful. Gave up. Thought maybe the Premier League’s own site must have archives. Headed over there. Their historical sections are buried deep. Clicked ‘History’, then ‘Seasons’, then ‘2013/14’. Found a stats dropdown. Tiny print. Scrolled… and scrolled… oh! “Top Assists”. My old eyes lit up. Finally!

The Big Reveal & Facepalm

There it was. Clear as day. Top of the list:

Steven Gerrard (Liverpool) – 13 assists.

Felt a wave of “oh, duh” wash over me. Of course it was Gerrard, feeding Suarez and Sturridge all season. I remembered now, he was pulling strings constantly back then. Slapped my forehead. Classic. The numbers were all laid out nicely below him:

Wayne Rooney (Man United) – 12 assists

David Silva (Man City) – 12 assists

Luis Suarez (Liverpool) – 12 assists (talk about double threat!)

So yeah. All that struggle and dust inhalation just to find out Stevie G topped it with a solid 13. Kinda satisfying nailing it down properly though. Always feels better confirming it yourself rather than just trusting some random tweet. And now you know too!
