StatrDraft

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

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

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.

#PremierLeague #StatrDraft #FootballTactics #FPL

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.

#PremierLeague #StatrDraft #Stats

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

keep an eye on the set pieces going forward.

#PremierLeague #StatrDraft #FPL

Haaland: 8 goals already.
Next best? 4.

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

#PremierLeague #StatrDraft #FPL

Sunderland’s Xhaka signing = spot on. 🟥
Brentford added Henderson for leadership.
Sunderland did the same with Xhaka.

Two great buys. Two great leaders.

Villa’s slump is over. 🟣
McGinn = hero, all-action.

#PremierLeague #StatrDraft #AVFC

Premier League refs = worse every year. ❌
TV “analysis” = refs defending refs.
Ex-players: “are you serious?”
Ex-refs: “yeah, of course.”

Circle protecting circle. Standards falling.

#PremierLeague #StatrDraft #VAR

Nuno’s first West Ham game → Bowen goal. ⚒️
But by next Christmas? He’s gone.

West Ham sack cycle:
1️⃣ Survival man
2️⃣ Too boring
3️⃣ Sack him for “attacking” coach
4️⃣ Repeat

Our Team of the Week = data-driven. 📊
Not pundits. Not FPL.

We reward graft + impact…
But this week? 10 goalscorers + 1 clean sheet. ⚽

Nuno at West Ham 👀
✅ Bowen still delivers
⚠️ JWP on the chopping block

Last week I told you: draft Chalobah. Three weeks in a row scoring. Hot shit. 🔥

What happened? Straight red. Fantasy 101— back a lad, he kills you. Drop him, he scores a hat trick.
And now… I’ve dropped Salah. So brace yourselves. Hat trick. Maybe four. 👀

#EPL #FPLCommunity#FPL #Chelsea #Liverpool

That’s enough for Palace — beat Liverpool and it makes this the longest unbeaten side in their history. 🦅

And they did it after selling Eze. Not smash and grab — they deserved it.

Mateta’s a handful. Big, awkward, scrappy… but he occupies a back line by himself.

Arsenal fans — fair play. 👏
I said you can’t beat the big teams. Wrong.

You’ve actually got the 2nd-best record vs the big six.

Still love winding you up though.

#PremierLeague #StatrDraft #FPL

Brentford lost Mbeumo, Wissa & Thomas Frank. But they’ll be no better, no worse than last year. Business as usual: awkward, stubborn, tough to beat.

Different names, same sting. 🐝

#PremierLeague #StatrDraft #FPL #Brentford

Ange should’ve waited a couple of weeks.

West Ham + attacking football + that fanbase + his honesty?
Match made in heaven. Instead, he’s at Forest.

Team of the Week (Game Week 6) - Statr Draft Statr's Team of the week for game week 6 of the 2025/26 premier league

GW6 ToTW ✅

🧤 Roefs (Sunderland)
⚔️ Gabriel – Keane – Bueno
⚡ Longstaff, Rice, Garner, Szoboszlai
🎯 Haaland – Thiago – Anthony

Highest single score of season = Longstaff.

Full XI 👉 buff.ly/AjUro6t

#PremierLeague #StatrDraft #FPL

20 teams played. 19 conceded. ❌
One man stood tall. 🧱

Roefs = the only clean sheet in the league last week. Away from home. Siege mode. straight into Team of the Week.

#PremierLeague #StatrDraft #FPL #Sunderland

Crystal Palace. 🦅
Like the manager. Like the results. Like the attitude.
Defenders scoring, team grinding.

They just work.

#PremierLeague #StatrDraft #FPL #CPFC

Declan Rice = 32 points on Statr this week. 🔥
Very good. Very good. Very good.
Only £100m+ signing that’s actually worked.

#PremierLeague #StatrDraft #FPL

Palace didn’t know if it was Conference or Europa. Nearly lost their captain.

Now they’re like:
“We’ll just do it again. Don’t want us in the Europa? See you there next year.”

Chip on the shoulder football. 🦅

VAR isn’t the problem. ❌
Refereeing is.

Refs don’t stand by their calls — monitor = overturn every time. Stockley Park is mates protecting mates.

Standards are falling.

#PremierLeague #StatrDraft #VAR

United’s recruitment in a nutshell 👇
⚽ Højlund. Zirkzee. Šeško. 3 identical strikers, 0 goals.
🧤 Bayındır = bottom 3 keeper.
🧓 Casemiro finished.
❌ Ugarte + Mainoo struggling.

#PremierLeague #StatrDraft #MUFC

Mbeumo, Cunha, Šeško – all scored last year. ✅
United? Still no goal scorer. ❌
Same 3-4-3, same problems.
And no way Amorim wanted Lammens over Emi Martínez.
#PremierLeague #StatrDraft #MUFC

Anderson has made 417 passes this season — most in the Premier League. 🔥

Van Dijk is next with 389.
Out-passing Liverpool’s ball magnet at the back. 👀
