@kelpindigo_CBF Academy and OPTA released a report on Árbitros comparing the Brazilian Championship to the Premier League. The chart maps fouls per game against possession percentage using gold dots for Brasileirão Série A and blue for the Premier League. Brazil averages 50% ball in play with 32.61 fouls, while Premier League clusters show 57% ball in play/25.60 fouls, 52% ball in play/22.93 fouls, and 58% ball in play/21.76 fouls. The analysis suggests referees in Brazil don't have a very well-defined criterion for calling fouls compared to the Premier League, leading to more fouls being called.
