Real Madrid’s Arda Güler technically holds third with seven goals and ten assists in 31 appearances, while Eintracht Frankfurt's Can Uzun closely follows with 14 total contributions in just 26 matches. This gives Uzun a higher average (0.54) compared to Güler (0.53). Juventus forward Kenan Yıldız currently occupies fifth place with 13 goal contributions in 31 contests.</p>
