Method

  • Box scores start in 2002-03, so 890 careers that began earlier aren't here.
  • The data has assists for every game since 2005-06, so 699 midfielders from before then aren't here.
  • 706 midfielders aren't here because a game in their window has no line recorded.
  • An active player who got to 100 assists before this season is on the all-time board with his rank.
