The Belgian joined Bundesliga side VFL Wolfsburg for €22 million at the beginning of the season and has assisted 16 goals so far.
But apart from setting up his teammates, the 23-year-old has also scored nine goals himself and was named Man of the Match four times already.
He leads the assist ranking ahead of Chelsea's Cesc Fabregas (15), Lionel Messi (14) and Cristiano Ronaldo (11).
Marseille's Dimitri Payet has also assisted 11 goals, while five players jointly sit in fifth position - namely Barcelona's Luis Suarez, Bayern Munich's Thomas Mueller, Villarreal's Denis Cheryshev, Palermo's Franco Vazquez and Bremen's Zlatko Junuzovic, who have all set up nine goals.
Only Messi (8.84) and Ronaldo (8.43) have a better Whoscored average performance rating than De Bruyne.
