[suggestion] Primary and Secondary Assist stats

[goalash]

Secondary Assists is in my opinion one of the most overlooked stats in football. For those of you not familiar with the concept - it’s an ice hockey-inspired idea where a goal can be assisted by up to two previous touches - if the ball is under a total control of the attacking team. If the defender collapses and the striker scores, the goal is unassisted.

 

Event chain - 1: Player X passes to Player Y; 2: Player Y passes to Player Z; 3: Player Z scores a goal

Stat count - Player X: +1 Secondary Assist; Player Y: +1 Primary Assist; Player Z: +1 Goal

In my opinion this stat absolutely belongs in a game like Football Manager. I wish it was there already.
