Yep, it's the teams with majority industrious grafting committed gritty Brits/Irish players that keep relegation plagued teams up in EPL with a few flashy foreigners. David Ginola berated his ex teams AV and Newcastle for having too few committed local players and too many French and foreign players now as those foreigners can always escape back to their home countries or elsewhere as they are French/Nigerian/Uruguayan etc. It's just a shame British players don't seem to have flair and finesse, pity there is a paucity of flair English players eg Payet, Bolassie, Hazard, Mahrez.
I would worry about Bournemouth next season as Middlesboro, Burnley, Hull/ Brighton seem very equipped to take EPL by storm eg iirc Hull knocked out Leicester City from League Cup and have taken Arsenal to FA CUP replay after being beaten by them 2 years on spin.
