| Man City | 0.695 |

Defensive efficiency
| C Palace | 0.212 |
| Sunderland | 0.172 |
| Hull City | 0.150 |
| Leicester | 0.136 |
| Swansea | 0.130 |
Crystal Palace continues their dominating defensive form from last season, meanwhile City is 11th (0.102), Liverpool is 12th (0.100), and Man United are dead last (0.057).
Overall Efficiency
| Man City | 0.798 |
| Arsenal | 0.766 |
| Chelsea | 0.749 |
| Everton | 0.746 |
| Liverpool | 0.746 |
The most important of these three numbers taking into account all favorable actions of players (i.e. keeping possession and preventing the other side from scoring). Arsenal is only ranked high here because of their passing, I expect them to fall rapidly as they play sides that focus more on possession-based defence instead of Palace's somewhat suicidal 'mighty fortress' stance.
Chance created value
| Swansea | 0.400 |
| Crystal Palace | 0.333 |
| Chelsea | 0.222 |
| Liverpool | 0.200 |
| Everton | 0.167 |
United is in a ton of trouble if they don't get some help on defence, Swansea has a decent attack but it's no where near the abilities of the top clubs.
Tidbits
- West Ham created the most chances of any side with 13, but failed to score. They also connected on the most crosses with 11, while Tottenham was the only club that was unsuccessful on all their cross attempts, going 0 for 13.
- Arsenal completed the most passes with 640, 89 more than 2nd-most Chelsea, but they attempted the least amount of long balls in 34.
- QPR took the most shots (19) and tied for the most on goal (6) with Arsenal and Southampton, but failed to score.
- Liverpool lead all sides in take-ons with 15.
- Not surprising, even though Howard Webb retired, Man United 'won' the most fouls with 20.
- Only three clubs had multiple assists: Chelsea, Liverpool, and Swansea, all three sides won.
