This season in the Premier League, the ball has been in play over four and a half minutes longer each match
The arrival of the first international break of the season means a chance to assess the impact of the measures. Even allowing for a small sample size, there has been a significant change.The 39 Premier League fixtures played to date have spanned, on average, 101 minutes and 25 seconds, according to Opta, the data analysis specialists. Or put another way, we are now seeing 11 and a half minutes of time added on.
In each of the previous five seasons, there had not been an annual average for ball-in-play above 56 minutes and 22 seconds. Opta’s stats only go back to 2012-13 for this metric but, within that timeframe, they show that before this season the most supporters had seen was the 56 minutes and 43 seconds of 2013-14.
