10: Thiago Motta | Paris Saint-Germain
The stats show though that he is one of a few members of the French champions' squad who know how to retain possession in important areas.

9: Mateo Kovacic | Inter Milan
At 19-years-old he's considered to have a great future in the game and, with his record for accurate passing, you can begin to see why he's so highly lauded.

Pass success rate: 92.7%
8: Thiago Silva | Paris Saint-Germain
Silva is a rock at the back, and adept going forward. Sharing stats with Kovacic but edging ahead on games played.

7: Laurent Koscielny | Arsenal
Arsenal are a team known for their fancy passing and beautiful play, but for their centre-backs to have excellent pass accuracy bears ultimate testament to their movement and expertise.

6: Alex | Paris Saint-Germain
The former Chelsea man is burly and physical, but clearly also knows how to play football.

5: Xavi | Barcelona
Possibly one of the most fluid and brilliant assisters in the history of the game, Xavi's whole game is underpinned by his exceptional eye for a pass.

Pass success rate: 93.1%
4: Leon Britton | Swansea
Leon Britton may be a surprise inclusion for some in this list of great passers, but the stats do not lie. Sitting fourth in amongst some of the greatest playmakers in the world, Britton's ratio is in highest in the Premier League.

Pass success rate: 93.2%
3: Mathieu Flamini | Arsenal
As stats show, Flamini is the third most accurate passer of the ball in those who have played five games of more. Truly exceptional for a defensive-midfielder.

Pass success rate: 93.2%
2: Francesco Matuzalem | Genoa
Genoa may only be sitting in 8th but the 33-year-old Brazilian has used every bit of his experience and guile to amass an incredibly healthy ratio in terms of passing the ball.
Games started: 6
Pass success rate: 94.1%
1: Sergio Busquets | Barcelona
An astonishing ratio for the Spanish champions, Busquets is steadily picking up the mantle whenever Xavi sets it down, and it's right to assume that Barca may have identified him as the natural successor.
