You're right about the assists. Once he gets a shitton of goals (just like he did last year) he tries to also beat Messi in assists so people can't be like "Sure,he has more goals but Messi assits more".
I expected more rotating from Benitez tbh, he started pretty much the strongest possible lineup. I'm just hoping that at least 2 out of Kovacic,Jese and Casemiro will get at least 30 minutes of playtime.
Just when he started playing well and was full of confidence. He was like in top 2 rated La Liga players so far and he also had the most assists in La Liga.
