Alfie Doughty named as Luton Town's top creator as new study ranks Championship's most creative players

See who is top of the charts in the second tier

Luton wingback Alfie Doughty has been named as the Hatters' most creative player by a new study from Betvictor.

The performance of every player in the second tier, who has featured in over 900 minutes of football, was analysed using two key performance metrics: chances created per 90 and expected assists (xA) per 90, which were combined into a ‘Creator Rating’ that considers both the frequency and quality of chances being made.

Doughty, who has made 21 appearances in the second tier for Town, with two goals and four assists, topped the charts at Kenilworth Road, ahead of James Bree, who left in January to join Southampton.
