Going with a player prop here, best played at FanDuel, who have some interesting rules regarding Assists:

An assist is defined by the final touch (pass, pass-come-shot or any other touch) leading to the recipient of the ball scoring a goal.

If the final touch (as defined above) is deflected by an opposition player, the initiator is only given an assist if the receiving player was the likely intended destination of the touch before the deflection.

If a shot on goal is blocked by an opposition player, is saved by a goalkeeper, or hits the woodwork, and a goal is scored directly from the rebound, then an assist is awarded, unless the resulting goal is scored by the same player who had the initial shot, in which case no assist is awarded.

If a player shoots or passes the ball and forces an opposing player to put the ball in their own net (Own Goal), then an assist is awarded to the attacking player.

For a penalty or a free-kick, the player winning the penalty or free-kick (by being fouled or causing a handball) is awarded an assist if a goal is directly scored, but not if they take it themselves, in which case no assist is awarded.

So an Assist at FanDuel isn't just a regular pass that leads to a goal, but also deflected shots, own goals and players winning penalty kicks.

With that in mind, we have a Dark Horse in Cremonese's roster, Jari Vandeputte, who has 4 assists in 10 matches this season, and he dished out 14 assists in each of L/2 seasons.

He has by FAR the most Key Passes this season (that's passes that lead to a Shot on Target) with 17, and for context, the 2nd best player in that category has 4, that's a huge gap.  

He has 3 assists in last 4 matches and he is Cremonese's main set piece taker with 17 Corner Kicks and 37 Crosses, first in both those categories. And at +600 this is definitely worth a shot.

Take 1% on Cremonese's Jari Vandeputte to Assist Anytime (+600 at FanDuel), line good to +500

NOTE: Make sure to check your book's rules regarding Assists, this bet is best played at FanDuel for the aforementioned reasons.
