United are always in the spotlight. 🔴
Doesn’t matter who’s struggling — the cameras always swing back to Old Trafford.

Closest thing to it? Maybe Wenger-out Arsenal.
But even that didn’t hit this level.

433 passes in 7 games. 💙
One every 90 seconds.
Everything goes through Moisés Caicedo.

He runs. He tackles. He crosses.
He’s everywhere.

Would you pay £60m for a 32-year-old Harry Kane? 🤔

This feels like pinnacle Kane — last World Cup, peak form.

Declan Rice. Consistent. Relentless. Too good to hate. 👏
Everything Arsenal do runs through him.
He’s not just the anchor — he’s the next captain.

Klopp hired a throw-in coach to keep possession.
Brentford went, “how do we weaponise that?” 💭

Keith Andrews + that coach = chaos reborn.
Fair play, Keith — have your flowers. 🌸

The five most expensive PL signings this summer:
Only one under 6'3". 😳

Sesko 6'5"
Isak 6'4"
Woltemade 6'6"
Ekitike the “small” one at 6'3". 😂

The big man era is officially BACK. 💪

Van Hecke is rising. 🔵
Dunk dips, he steps up — nailed on at Brighton, future captain vibes.

Top-scoring defender this week: 31 points, joint with Muñoz. 👊

“Jimmy, he’s not a six. He’s a box-to-box eight.”
“Yeah, but Arsenal play set-piece football now.”

Declan Rice’s points come from structure, not chaos.
And yes… I’m saying something nice about Arsenal. 😅

#PremierLeague #StatrDraft #FPL #Arsenal

Big men who can play — Haaland, Isak, Woltemade.
Long throws up from 1.6 → 3.4 per game.

The big man is back.
Football’s gone full circle — and it’s beautiful. ⚽

International break = goal drought. ❌

From 3.2 goals/game → 1.4.
Week 5: 9 clean sheets. Week 6: 1.

For GW8 → stack at the back. 🧱

Anton Semenyo. Two goals. One assist.
FPL still call him a midfielder. 🤦♂️

In StatrDraft, he’s a forward.
Because that’s what he actually is. Logical, right?

Pep Ball: keep it.
Klopp Ball: press it.

So what’s the answer when everyone’s pressing and passing?
You go over the top. 🎯

#PremierLeague #StatrDraft #Tactics

StatrDraft @statrdraft.bsky.social · 7d

FPL have Semenyo as a midfielder. 🤦♂️
We’ve got him as what he actually is — a forward.

If you’re a wide forward, you’re… a forward.
Almost sounds logical, doesn’t it?

Lammens at United → straight balls to Sesko.
Not to De Ligt. Not to Yoro.

Finally, using the big man’s strengths. 💪
Same shift City made with Haaland.
Liverpool did it first with Klopp’s “swallow mechanism.”

Football’s evolving 👇
📉 Passing at 15-year low
📈 Set-piece goals up 25%
💥 Long throws up 128%

Even Arsenal went full Stoke — 11 box throws in a UCL semi.
It’s not tiki-taka anymore… it’s tactical trebuchet time. ⚽

#PremierLeague #StatrDraft #FootballStats #Tactics

StatrDraft @statrdraft.bsky.social · 9d

Football’s gone full science-y 🧪

Kick-offs as set pieces (Brentford).
Corners like playbooks (Arsenal).
Blocker runs like the NFL.

It’s not chaos — it’s controlled chaos.
Back to the future football. ⚽

#PremierLeague #StatrDraft #Tactics

StatrDraft @statrdraft.bsky.social · 9d

Everyone’s pressing high + playing out.
So how do you beat structure?
You create chaos. 💥

Corners. Long throws. 9 lads in the box.
Dan Burn + Tarkowski feasting on headers.

Organised chaos is the new tactic.

Premier League trend 👇
📉 Passes per game down from 941 → 849
📈 Accuracy up (82.6%)
⚡ 11 teams moving it faster up the pitch

Less tiki-taka, more direct play.
Football’s getting quicker.

Newcastle’s playbook 👇
🧤 Pope
🧱 Schär + Burn
🎯 Trippier’s whip
🗼 6’6 striker

keep an eye on the set pieces going forward.

Haaland: 8 goals already.
Next best? 4.

Last year was his “bad” season…
Beast is back. We’re all finished.
