Burnley top the Premier League points per game table

Post by Leisure » Thu Feb 25, 2021 8:50 pm

Taken from Lancs Live - (can't vouch for it's accuracy!)

Sean Dyche is getting more bang for his buck than any other Premier League manager.

Burnley spent £82.6m in transfer fees assembling their squad, less than some clubs have spent on a single player and the second lowest total in the division just ahead of Fulham (£81.6m).

Despite this though, the Clarets have maintained their place in the top flight and has earned Dyche plenty of praise.

With 28 points on the board so far this season the Clarets have earned the equivalent of one point for every £2.95m spent on transfers, fewer pounds per point than any other top flight club.

Here's the full listings.

Club // £ per point

Burnley // £2,950,000
Leeds United // £3,394,286
Fulham // £3,709,091
West Ham United // £4,012,222
Crystal Palace // £4,683,125
Southampton // £5,285,000
Brighton & Hove Albion // £5,715,385
Leicester City // £5,811,224
Aston Villa // £6,418,056
West Bromwich Albion // £6,692,857
Wolverhampton Wanderers // £7,226,667
Newcastle United // £7,724,000
Everton // £9,026,250
Tottenham Hotspur // £10,397,222
Sheffield United // £10,972,727
Arsenal // £11,745,294
Liverpool // £12,990,000
Manchester United // £13,343,469
Chelsea // £13,420,930
Manchester City // £13,743,559

I think if it points won since we bought each player then it would be close to £1 per point!

The table is explaining why Man City are top of the Premier League. Yesterday in answer to a reporter's question to Pep about the reason for the run of 19 victories Pep said: We have spent a lot of money and bought the best players. I think the reporter was seeking a response about strategy, tactics, etc.

It shows a very, very strong correlation to league position.

Unsurprising.

I notice Leeds are second in that table. Bielsa obviously doing a fantastic job improving average footballers as well as Dyche.
He deserves a pat on the back.

Only if the article starts by saying "Leeds are fantastic being almost the top of the points per game table" .......then anything else will be lost in a load of waffle

Sheffield Utd stick out like a sore thumb, 20+ million for that donkey from Liverpool was a huge mistake.

Quite misleading this stat. Is that what we have spent on the players playing in this squad it total matched with this seasons points? What about net transfer spend per points over what the past 5 seasons? See where we are then.
