The Barclays Premier League is known for its high intensity and physicality on the field. All the teams irrespective of their rank in the table come out on the day with equal hopes of winning the game and give their everything in order to achieve it. The League, however, has its own fair play rankings in order to control the aggression and the FA also gives the top club at the end of the season a chance to play in the Europa League.
The fair play table is decided on the number of cards received by a club. A Yellow card is counted as one and a Red card is counted as three for the sake of calculating the fair play points. With so much at stake for fair play, let’s take a look at how the teams have performed so far:
