A look at the most creative players in the QPR side.
QPR have struggled for goals this season, but it has not been for a lack of trying.
Despite scoring only four goals, the team have created 77 chances, with poor finishing clearly letting them down as they sit rooted to the bottom of the table.
Here is a look at the team’s five most creative players of the campaign so far.
| Team | Pos | Key Passes | Key Passes / apps | Key Passes open play / apps | Assists | Apps | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Joey Barton | QPR | MF | 13 | 3.25 | 2.00 | 0 | 4 |
| Leroy Fer | QPR | MF | 13 | 2.17 | 2.00 | 1 | 6 |
| Bobby Zamora | QPR | FW | 8 | 1.33 | 1.33 | 0 | 6 |
| Mauricio Isla | QPR | DF | 6 | 1.20 | 1.20 | 0 | 5 |
| Niko Kranjcar | QPR | MF | 5 | 1.25 | 1.00 | 0 | 4 |
It has been the controversial Joey Barton who has been Rangers’ biggest source of creativity, but fitness issues restricted the 32-year-old to playing only one game in September.
Striker Bobby Zamora has not started any games in the Premier League this season, nor scored any goals, but his usefulness as a substitute has been clear.
There is reason to be positive regarding new signings Mauricio Isla and Niko Kranjcar, whose progress will only further improve when they settle.
