Yeah, I don't think assists is the appropriate measure either.
The player that some people need to watch more closely in what they contribute in the final third is Davies. He's completly different to all of them, but his build-up play (once he gets past the first press, where his very poor) is actually very good. He remains in the build-up phase too if the move breaks down and recycles well, aesthetically he doesn't look good and it always looks like he's scuffed the ball when playing his signature pass inside but he's got a very good eye for finding a ball from wide to the edge of the box hit with pace (not a cross), the fact that he repeats this makes me think it's not scuffed/pulled it but what he dose (He follows these in sometimes as well).
