The International Centre for Sports Research (CIES Football Observatory) has published the latest version of the ranking of clubs by the amount of playing time of their players. For the formation of this list, statistical data from 60 leagues around the world were used.
The first place of the rating is occupied by Dynamo Kyiv, which provides 83% of playing time to its pupils this season. The second line is occupied by Belarusian "Minsk" (72%), and the Spanish "Athletic" (69%) rounded off the top three.
Two more representatives of Ukraine - Poltava "Vorskla" (5th place, 61%) and Donetsk "Shakhtar" (9th place, 56%) - are in the top 10.
We would like to add that CIES considers a player who has spent at least three years in the structure of his club under the age of 21 to be a club pupil.
