Correct. Most average *at best (over hundreds games) was like 0.30 Only Pele, (Cruyff and Maradona?) maintained a high and consistent assist STATS in their career, from club to country. Pele got in NT : 30 ass/92games. Rumour said he made nearly 500ass ass over 1300games ~0.4 APG career Maradona got 300+ ass/ ~700 games career (also 0.4)
I did not say whether it was low or high, or whether the Barcelona years were a success or failure; I said that (IMHO) he had more of a creator function in those Barcelona years, as in the first few Napoli seasons. The playing position and assist-count (number of assists relative to goals made) support this idea about the role someone had. Same for Bertoni in 1984-85 by the way. Nominally a winger with creating duties, but in 1984-85 (playing for Napoli) with a considerable scoring/finishing role. 27 games, 11 goals (0PK).
