Grealish and Bruno Fernandes are among the best players in the world this season, and they're both having the best season of their career.

Goalscoring (p90) :
Non penalty goals | np xG | Penalty goals p90
Bruno F. : 0.29 | 0.25 | 0.30
Grealish : 0.30 | 0.20 | 0
They are very similar in goalscoring so it's hard to pick a clear winner. Grealish has a very little advance and Bruno has more penalties

Creativity (p90) :
xA | Key passes | OP Shot creating actions
Grealish : 0.39 | 3.60 | 5.90
Bruno F. : 0.41 | 3.09 | 4.66
It's pretty close but I pick Grealish because of his involvement in the “pass/dribble before the key pass“

Dribbling (p90) :
Dribbles | Dribble success % | SCD
Grealish : 2.65 | 67.1% | 0.40
Bruno F. : 0.59 | 32.4% | 0.10
Grealish is by far the better dribbler, Bruno isn't a good dribbler at all and his success rate is very low.
*SCD = shot creating dribble

Even if Grealish was leading at the end, it remains pretty close. This is what will make the difference :

The excuse will be :
“They always pass to him so it's easier to have better numbers“
This is so wrong in many ways. First of all, Messi is the most targeted attacker in europe by far since 2018 and is against 1st in 20/21, I never seen any critics against him (rightfully)

But guess who's second this season ? Bruno Fernandes
Pass targets p90 :
Bruno F. : 72.2
Grealish : 57.3
An other excuse : “But Grealish is a winger so it's easier for him to perform“.
We proved it with the buildup stats, Grealish is MORE involved so this is not valid

Those excuses are being said because people refuse believe that the best creator in the league (excluding KDB) isn't playing in a big team.
Also because United and big teams fanbase in general are way bigger than Villa so the popular opinion will always go in their favor
