@footbalgod: I'm guessing the explanation to that lies in that Yilmaz only makes runs and shoots the ball, thus scoring goals. Whereas these two contribute to more than just scoring.
Pizarro for example made 40 passes, has 2 clearances, 3/3 shots and no turnovers. Ibrahimovic made 52 - 6 of them being key- passes, made 8/4 long balls and made 4 assists. And although Yilmaz made 5 of 6 shots on target and scored 3 goals, he only made 16 passes and has 5 turnovers.
Speaking of which, it seems to me that Whoscored's rating system is rewarding goals too abundantly compared to assists. In my book, 4 assists beats 3 goals any day of the week.

Surprised Burak Yilmaz couldn't make it scoring a hat-trick for Galatasaray
Willian's audition for Chelsea last night was a real success. Best player on the park!
