1. Michael Olise (15 assists)

With an incredible 15 assists, Olise was the Bundesliga’s top assister in 2024/25, his debut campaign in the league. The France international also set up more shooting chances for others (83) than anyone else in the top flight.

3. Vincenzo Grifo (11)

Grifo finished as Freiburg’s top assist provider for a third straight season, setting a new personal best of 11 to surpass the 10 he registered in the 2020/21 campaign.

The experience and quality of Vincenzo Grifo helped guide Freiburg to the UEFA Europa League in 2024/25.

4. Julian Brandt (10)

Brandt hit double figures for assists as Borussia Dortmund made an impressive turnaround in the second half of the season under Niko Kovač.

That uptick in form was down to the Croatian’s ability to get the best out of his players, with Brandt notching half of his 10 assists in his 13 games under him.

Julian Brandt was tough to keep quiet in the second half of the season.

5. Pascal Groß (10)

The Dortmund coach had an even greater impact on Groß, who recorded eight of his 10 assist under Kovač. Four of those even came in one game, when the Black-and-Yellows hit Union Berlin for six on Matchday 23.
