I was looking at how much each club is relying on new signings this season, and Inter are the most 'settled' side in Serie A and in all five big leagues.
Only 5.2% of league minutes have gone to players who weren't here last season. Napoli are next lowest in Serie A on 9.3%, and the league average is 30%.
The only new faces with minutes so far are Curtis Jones (151) and John Stones (99).
Second and level on points with Roma after five games, with basically the same squad as last season. Is keeping the core together the reason for the start? What do you guys think?

Injuries and adaptation time
Well yes
But it’s still early season, new signings have time to adapt and get better
I expect the bench EVERYONE to play since we’ll have a month FULL of matches
We Need everyone help
I know they were all here last year too, but bisseck, diouf, pio, bonny, zielinski and sucic didn’t get as much playing time as they are getting now. Spence is recovering, stones is injured and jones is getting a decent chunk of playing time. It’s just too early to tell.
Also, yes, we won the double last year, you don’t make revolutions in a winning team, you carefully tune it.
