So far in this summer, Premier League Teams have spent a transfer fee of at least € 35 million on 21 different players. And 12 of them are joining the clubs outside the Premier League.

If you have been following the Premier League for a long time, perhaps you read all that and simply start talking: an angry local fan in TalkSport Radio makes fun of the head of calling or at least prepared talks on Sky Sports. ButYou can’t help yourself with thinking, Can he do it in the Premier League?
Back in 2010, Pandit Andy Gray notorious suggested that Lionel Messi Stoke City’s house, “Will struggle in a cold night at Britannia Stadium.”
It was 18 months after Messi won 2–0 Manchester United Champions League in the final. And it was during a season that will end with Messi scoring Go-Farward goals in the final win of 3–1 Champions League against Manchester United-a match that will lead Sir Alex Ferguson to call Messi to call Messi Barcelona “The best team that I have faced.” Oh, and Stoke City? They lost 2–1 to Man United at home and finished the season with minus -2 goal difference.
So, the idea of the inherent superiority of English football extends to a time when its first division was clearly No Superior – and this time limit, the path, path, the path increases before the gray’s comments. But sometimes you can cross reality and confusion.
Given the economic strength of the Premier League 15 years later, it is appropriate to assume that the by-ferrous-rich football league in the world can also be the most difficult league to play. But if this is true, can we move forward with stereotypes about cold weather, throwing long and cheering about tax and corner kicks? And can we indicate why, in fact, it can be so harder to play in England than other top-ups of the world?
How Premier League became the best league in the world
Every year, we look at the results in the Champions League and argue about what is the best league in the world. This year, however, that debate died. Paris Saint Germain The Champions League won, and perhaps the French President Emmanuel Macron will not be ready to argue with a straight face that lig 1 is the best football league in the world.
In fact, the debate should have died years ago. The best teams in the Premier League may not always be better than the best teams in France or Spain, but thanks to the large scale financial advantage, it is impossible to all other leagues to be good from top to bottom for any other league.
Based on the estimated wage data from FBREF for this last season, all 20 Premier League clubs were ranked in the top 50 for the highest pay bill in Europe’s Big Five League. If wages are distributed equally in the league, each league will have only 10 teams in the top 50. And this is the same story with congested transfer evaluation from the transfermark. In 25 most valuable rosters in the world, 12 come from the Premier League. Squally distribute those people, and all must be five in the top 25.
For Premier League No The most competitive league within that atmosphere, there should be a large scouting and strategic discrepancy, the English clubs blocked the eye, while the others knew what they were doing, but only a way that no one in England had ever raised. And you will need a global workforce of players and coaches, so that they really do not care about paying as much as they can. With England’s now-Vividh ownership groups, coaching staff and population, none of it is true.
It is clear in any attempt that anyone determines the strength of a given league. Analyst Tyson Ni has recently released a publicly available set of team ratings that uses betting-market obstacles to estimate the team’s strength. The ratings are represented as the expected target difference for a given team, they were the worst team to play in the dataset. And according to NI’s rating, the average for the Big Five League is as follows:
• Premier League: 2.51
• Laliga: 2.24
• Siri A: 2.06
• Ligue 1: 2.01
• Bundesleiga: 1.96
Keep another way, the average Premier League team will expect the average Laliga team to be defeated by 0.27 goals, average Seeri A team 0.45 goals, average ligue 1 team by 0.50 goals and average Bundesaliga team by 0.55 goals.
Club aloe rating, meanwhile, mirror closely to wages and transfer data. The ELO system awards or subtract after every sport, based on the rival’s final score, location and quality. It is purely result-based; There are no estimates. And currently, all 20 Premier League Clubs rank in the European Top 50, which includes just beyond the larger five leagues. The top 50 in any other league does not even have 10 clubs.
Does the Premier League make it so difficult?
The simple answer is that the players are better, and therefore the teams are better.
While in Laliga you will have a group of difficult games against two traditional powers and choice Atletico Madrid, Villarreal And Athletic clubThe Premier League presents you with 38 matches against the top -50 teams in the world. Goalkeeper is better to save shots, defenders are better to defend, midfielders are better to break and keep the ball, and it is difficult to stop the attackers.
Using one of the Cachel Player Valuation Model – VAEP (evaluation of action by estimating the possibilities), which essentially does everything on the ball to a player, is based on whether it increases his team’s scoring possibility or reduces his team’s chances of winning – Analyst Tony Elebr saw how the players changed the players. Just: Did his VAEP go up or go down?
He studied the season from 2012 to 2020. And they found that when the players moved into the Premier League from any big five leagues, their production was reduced. Laliga players faced a 5% decrease, while the ligue 1 players fell by 10% and people coming from Seri A fell to 12%. The biggest drop-off in the Big Five, however, came when the players were transferred from Bundesleiga: 17% drop-off, larger than players from Portugal and Brazil, and broadly occurred when the players took steps from the championship.
But how does it appear on the field? For the previous season, at least, the Premier League stood out in some ways. Compared to the other big five leagues, the premiere league teams were more important in possession (measured by pass per shot) and they crossed the ball less frequently (the last-third measured with a pass percentage which was cross):
Except, the Premier League teams took the lowest percentage shots from outside the box and they played on an average. It was not a league where the teams were bombing the ball on the field and shooting from the distance. No, it is a league where the average team is able to pursue occupation with more complex passing and then transfer the ball to the box quickly for shots without relying on the cross.
It demands high level of technical skills from in-constipation players, but it also demands a lot from out-of-position players.
Despite those more efficient occupation, the Premier League teams did not score much or scored better opportunities than everyone else. To rescue in the Premier League, then, you have to remove the stress created by small, more-invasive passing approaches in the buildup play and then you have to deal with teams that are not crossing or shooting from distance, but working in the punishment area, where defensive errors turn into close-automatic targets.
There are no two phrases making clever decisions and low passing, which would be connected to the Premier League in 2010-11. There has been a lot of change in the league as some of the best coaches outside the country have helped change the strategy.
At the same time, the Premier League has not lost one thing that she has always: is running.
Per data from gradient sports, Premier League side reaches higher end speeds more often than any other league. Given all outfield players displayed in at least 600 minutes in the previous season, the average premiere league player reached a maximum of 32.5 kilometers per hour – at a distance of about one kilometer per hour compared to any other league.
The gradient then defines a sprint as a player reaches 25 km/h or more at any time. The number of Premier League sprints, distance, time spent and the percentage of movement which was spent in sprinting, leads to:
Those differences may not seem much, but when multiplied into 20 teams by 10 players, play 38 games each in each season? The Premier League is sprinkling around the rest of Europe.
So, what does that extra money get a premiere league? And why does it make anyone coming from any other league so difficult to succeed?
At the attacker end, you must be able to occupy, pass through the opposition and create opportunities inside the most crowded area of the field, without relying on a low-prone shot or a cross-inefficient cross from outside of the box. Without the ball, you have to try to break these possession scenes, where you do not get out of bad decisions and need to drama inside your penalty region.
And then, even if you can handle it, it is still not enough. All technical skills, patience and efficiency require a league, you should still be able to run faster and more often than everyone.
