That would make sense. Only skim read it.

Burnley: McNeil the exception for experienced squad
Just as they have their way of playing on the pitch, Burnley have their own way of building a squad off it.
While only Watford had an older starting XI on average last season, relying almost exclusively on players at the peak of their careers means the club will enjoy their fourth successive season in the Premier League.
The exception to that rule was 19-year-old midfielder Dwight McNeil, as the chart below illustrates so starkly.
That Sean Dyche showed such trust in the youngster to start him ahead of experienced players during their fight against relegation shows just how talented the midfielder is.
The club's signings last summer weren't trusted quite so much, however. While Joe Hart eventually lost his place in goal to Tom Heaton, the £26 million pair of Ben Gibson and Matej Vydra started just four games between them.

There's also an infographic/chart about the age of the club's players - and percentage of time played last season.
