Non-UEFA Premiership Player Table

I created this table to get a better look at the number of players from outside of UEFA that are on the first team squad lists in the English Premier League. I didn't include players that are on loan outside of the premiership.

Interesting Observations:

Blackburn Rovers are the only squad with a player from every confederation.

Manchester United are the only team with no African players on the first team roster, although they do have Manucho out on loan.

Everybody knows about the CONCACAF contingent at Fulham, but two other teams have 4 players from the region as well, Derby County and Sunderland.

Kiwis Ryan Nelson and Simon Elliot are the two lonely members from Oceania.

Liverpool wins the battle for most South Americans and Middlesbrough has the most players from Asia.

Aston Villa has only one player from outside of UEFA on their roster, Moustapha Salifou, the Togolese midfielder, although he's only made one appearance for Villa so far.
