Another Gameweek, another Bruno Fernandes (\u00a310.4m) assist.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s now 20 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) assists for the season for the Portuguese playmaker, which is eight more than anyone else has supplied.<\/p>\n
But how close is he to the all-time FPL record?<\/p>\n
MOST FPL ASSISTS IN A SINGLE SEASON<\/p>\n
Here\u2019s where Fernandes stands in the historic pecking order\u2026<\/p>\n

Bruno is now joint-fifth in the all-time FPL assists table.<\/p>\n
He still has a bit to go to match or better Luis Suarez, who not only set the assists record (25) in 2013\/14 but also the all-time high for total attacking returns (55) in a single campaign. Even Mohamed Salah hasn\u2019t been able to beat that in any of his nine seasons with Liverpool.<\/p>\n
Suarez managed that feat despite missing the first five matches of his record-setting season through suspension! A whopping 13 of his 25 assists were of the \u2018Fantasy\u2019 variety, eg forcing own-goals, rebounds, penalty awards etc.<\/p>\n
Back in FPL\u2019s inaugural year in 2002\/03, Thierry Henry finished with 23 assists. How his contributions would have translated into points a quarter of a century later is a research project for another day \u2013 he was awarded an assist for this Robert Pires goal<\/a>, for instance, something he wouldn\u2019t have gained under current FPL rules. Then again, FPL didn\u2019t given him an assist for forcing this Fulham own-goal<\/a>!<\/p>\n The orthodox assists record of 20 is co-held by Henry, in 2002\/03, and Kevin De Bruyne, in 2019\/20. That\u2019s the record you\u2019ll have heard plenty about in the media as Bruno is rapidly closing in on it.<\/a><\/p>\n Fernandes is just one away from that number after Gameweek 34. Impressively, his only \u2018Fantasy assist\u2019 this season was for James Hill\u2018s own-goal in Gameweek 31.<\/a><\/p>\n Our thanks to TopMarx<\/a> for the historical data.<\/p>\n
