I have compiled a list of stats for my premier league report publication. I expect that I won't use every stat because I don't want the publication to get tedious and boring. The stats that may be of more interest could be the tallest/shortest and the goals per game rather than a league table.
I also intend on acquiring club specific stats which will form the base of each club specific publication but I am unsure on how that will work as of yet. I expect to use a large format with large typographic driven treatments on each page followed up with smaller body copy where needed.

It is the world's most watched league and the most lucrative - attracting the top players from all over the globe. Hard to believe then that the first ball kicked in the Premier League was as relatively recently as 15th August 1992.
In 1992 there were just 11 non-British or Irish footballers in the Premier League, by 2007 this had increased to over 250. Over the years overseas players have helped shape and develop the British game. Overseas managers, too, have been eager to work in England, and techniques used by the likes of Arsene Wenger, Gerrard Houllier and Ruud Gullit have had an enormous impact.
The Premier League was initially composed of 22 clubs but it was always the intention to reduce that number to 20 to promote development and excellence at club and international level. This was achieved at the end of the 1994/95 season when four clubs were relegated and just two promoted.
Burnley won promotion in 2009 to take the total number of clubs to have played in the Premier League to 43. The most successful team in Premier League history is undoubtedly Manchester United. Sir Alex Ferguson's side have won a remarkable 11 titles and have never finished below third since the Premier League was launched in 1992.
