How a ‘Hard Brexit’ would affect the Premier League and it’s great news for Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur
With the country locked in a Brexit crisis, the return of the Premier League this weekend could not have come at a more convenient time.With Prime Minister Theresa May floundering and the Houses of Parliament in chaos, top-flight football will provide a welcome distraction.But just imagine what the country would look like had Brexit taken full effect after the referendum in 2016.3

Theresa May is somewhat clueless at this current moment in time

Thanks to research conducted by Free Super Tips entitled ‘Brexit Effect’, Premier League fans can see just how drastically the landscape of football in this country would be changed.The study reveals the impact the economy would face if free movement of people was restricted, meaning clubs would be unable to buy players from EU member states.By taking into account goals, points, squads, minutes played, wages and transfers, the study is able to calculate what the Premier League landscape from the past three season would look like without EU players.After claiming their first Premier League title in 2016/17, Tottenham Hotspur would have failed in their defence as Liverpool would have edged them to victory last season.3

Chelsea’s reliance on EU-based players over the past three seasons would have cost them

This season, the race for the league would have been as tight as in real life as the Merseysiders would have finished on 94 points – level on points with City.However, the Reds’ superior goal difference would have seen them pip the Citizens to the trophy for a second successive season.The other major beneficiaries would have been Leicester City, who would have jumped from tenth to fifth in the division.Making up the rest of the top 10 would be Everton in 6th on 64 points followed by West Ham (7th on 61 points), Crystal Palace (8th on 57 points), Watford (9th on 57 points and Manchester United (10th on 52 points).

EU RELIANT TEAMS

The study also shows how reliant Premier League teams are on EU players...

1. Chelsea – 78% of matches played by EU players
2. Wolves – 68% of matches played by EU players
3. Huddersfield Town – 55% of matches played by EU players
4. Arsenal – 49% of matches played by EU players
5. Manchester United – 49% of matches played by EU players

The biggest losers from Brexit this season would be Wolverhampton Wanderers owing to their reliance on a strong Portuguese contingent – dropping from 7th to 18th.Huddersfield and Fulham would also unfortunately still be locked firmly in a relegation dogfight.Last season, Chelsea would have been relegated on 33 points, with Leicester City finishing 4^th with 62 points.Scroll down to see how the current Premier League table would look for the current season.3
