Assists — the players who create most often
Assists is one of the two biggest player markets in the Primeira Liga bet builder, and one of the least predictable. SharpXI shows how often each player has actually registered an assist — the raw record, not a projection.
How these numbers are built
The same two counted numbers as goals. The per-90 rate is assists divided by minutes played, times ninety, across the season, with a 450-minute minimum. The 1+ hit rate is the share of appearances containing at least one assist. Both come straight from the match data, with no shrinkage, no opponent adjustment and no minutes projection applied on top.

How to read them
An assist depends on a teammate finishing the chance, so the record is noisier than goals and a single season is a short sample. Creators in strong attacking sides sit near the top of both columns, but the hit rate rarely climbs far even for the best of them. Treat the ranking as a starting point for a closer look, not a conclusion.

Frequently asked
Does SharpXI publish a value verdict on assists?
No. Assists and goals are shown as a hit-rate record only — there is no modelled probability and no price comparison on either market. The markets SharpXI does model, and its record on them, are listed on the Primeira Liga markets page and the track record.
Why is the assist hit rate so much lower than the goals hit rate?
Because an assist needs a teammate to convert the chance. A creator can play a chance-making pass every week and register nothing, which is why assists is treated as a record to read rather than a market to price.
SharpXI is a statistical tool, not a betting operator, and no model guarantees a result. The honest scoreboard is closing-line value over a large sample. 18+ — please gamble responsibly.
