Swansea City were officially the 'cleanest' Premier League team in 2016/17 after topping the Fair Play Table with only 59 bookings and no red cards in 41 domestic games (league & cup) all season.

Watford and Manchester United were the least disciplined.

The Fair Play Table takes into account all matches played under the FA's jurisdiction and is ranked based on the accumulation of 'Disciplinary Points'.

A standard yellow card is assigned four points; the denial of a goalscoring opportunity or a dismissal for two cautions is assigned 10 points; and dismissal for violent conduct, serious foul play, spitting or offensive and abusive language is assigned 12 points.

Of Watford's 87 yellows, 84 came in the Premier League. 14 of those were shown to wing-back Jose Holebas, a league high, while Miguel Britos was responsible for two of five reds.

Between league, FA Cup and EFL Cup games, Manchester United played 48 domestic this season and were equally ill-disciplined as the Hornets. Both teams recorded 400 disciplinary points, with 92 United players booked in domestic games and three sent off.

Middlesbrough also had 92 players booked over the course of the campaign, but had one fewer sent off than Jose Mourinho's side. Manchester City (82 yellows, four reds) and Sunderland (83 yellows, four reds) complete the set of the five dirtiest sides in 2016/17.

Besides Swansea, West Brom, Crystal Palace, Tottenham and Liverpool were the four other teams not to have a single player sent off this season.

Bournemouth were the second cleanest team after Swansea, despite seeing three red cards. However, a very low number of yellows (55) explains why the Cherries still came out so well in the Fair Play standings anyway.

No club had more red cards than Hull's six this season. West Ham had five players dismissed.
