Not even in the top ten for player/team goals contribution
Most productive in the PL? Not even the most productive at Spurs
That link just links to the PL table. If you want to post sub-sectors of whoscored, you need to screen shot it I think.
You have to contextualise stats. Eriksen may be thought of still as an ACM/10, but he hasn't been that for most of this season, he's nearly always played as an midfield 8 in Poch's 41212 formats. So you have to compare with other players playing similar roles. Players like Pogba, Silva (both), DeBruyne, Xhaka, Kovacic, Keita, Moutinho etc. And he compares pretty favourably. Only one of those, Pogba has more goals, none have more assists, in fact no "midfielder" in the PL has more assists. 4 midfielders average marginally more key passes (Silva, Moutinho, Gross, Seri). Of those, only Pogba, Silva and Seri average more passes per game.
For the record there are 13 players who have higher goal/assist. 9 of those are forwards, 3 are wide forwards (Hazard/Sterling/Sane). Fraser has the same tally but he's an AM/WF/Winger.
David Silva, for example, who plays an almost identical role to that Eriksen has played most weeks, has one more goal and 5 less assists, and averages 0.2 more key passes a game. * more passes a game. And he's pretty universally acknowledged as one of this league's best players.
The bottom line is, there really aren't many players in this league who combine the midfield input, see the ball 50+ times a game and provide the conduit through which a team links defence and attack, with creative productivity as well as he does.
As well as being our highest key passer, for the record, of players who have played more than 500 minutes of football (ie enough to form some kind of fair control) Eriksen is also our player with the highest average XA90 (0.26 per 90 - expected assist rate per 90 on pitch) which is a calculation of quality not just quality. So is the player most likely to create a goal out of our whole regular team.
As far as assists and key passes go, there is no other player who plays the quality, incisive passes he does, as consistently as he does, and the stats, not just the bare totals, but also the XA stats support this. For all the assists he gets by just tapping it to someone who whacks it from the edge of the box, there are many occasions where Eriksen plays a wonderful through ball or pass that gets wasted.
