Rennes' Benjamin Bourigeaud cooked up his seventh and eighth assists of season in the R37 win over Monaco - once again making him one of the most magnanimous string-pullers in Ligue 1 Uber Eats.

A regular has returned to the Top Ten of the official Ligue 1 Uber Eats assists chart. Third last season (13 assists), Benjamin Bourigeaud returned to the upper reaches of the table with his first double assist of the season in R37 against AS Monaco. With eight assists to his name this season, the Stade Rennais player is now in seventh place, three lengths off the podium with a game to go.

Renowned for his excellent vision and the quality of his right foot, the former Lens player has been racking up the assists since his Ligue 1 Uber Eats debut. This season will be his fourth with five or more assists. In 227 top flight games, he has provided 39 assists, making him the fifth-most prolific assists provider still active in Ligue 1 Uber Eats, behind Dimitri Payet (103), Kylian Mbappé (57), Neymar (48) and Romain Hamouma (43).

Bradley Barcola, Lyon's rising star

Just behind him, in eighth place, Bradley Barcola is confirming week after week that he is THE revelation of the second half of the season for Olympique Lyonnais. Consistently on the team sheet and consistently among the side's best players since R20, the 20-year-old winger has provided eight assists in his 16 games played during the second half of the campaign.

His partnership with Alexandre Lacazette continues to stun. Against Stade de Reims, the young Lyon man set up a seventh of the season for his captain. With Kylian Mbappé pushing for a fifth consecutive title of Ligue 1 top scorer, the 'General' Alexandre Lacazette knows that he can count on his lieutenant all the way to the end to try and beat the Parisian to the post.
