I haven't bothered to work it out but I reckon that there is a very high probability that after 13 games you could do this with any league

It's not possible right now in Italy, Germany or France due to unbeaten or winless teams. I think you could do it in Spain but I shan't be bothered.

How on earth have Juve bought 374 players in five years, are they just rolling around academies scooping them up by the busful?

It counts every player that has joined the team. Most of that 374 seem to be youth players returning from loans.

Also, those teams aren't pushed as hard and as often as PL teams. When you're up 3-0 at halftime you know you can just kick it about a bit in the second half and the other team isn't likely to make a comeback.

As a free market capitalist, I believe that quality comes from high level competition. In the long run EPL teams will be better off thanks to playing in a stronger league.
