Spurs are currently top of the league. Here's a look at the relative strengths and weaknesses of the rest of the pack.
Arsenal and City are so (boringly?) similar
Liverpool looking most well rounded
Villa similar to Spurs but without the press
Brighton similar to Spurs but without the defence and counters
Chelsea look dangerous... if they can find the net
Newcastle worse than results would imply
United better than results would imply

I'm surprised spurs are not physical at all. Especially considering how Romero plays.
Love the content
Yes, I think the data might be off. Physicality is supposed to be both duels and aerial duels won. Spurs are actually near the top of the tables for tackles and interceptions %. But we're third from bottom for aerial duels won %. Looking at the other charts and comparing to the data on FBref, it looks like DataMB is only using aerial duels for physicality.
