In 2017, it will be 25 years since the Premier League began and changed football forever. From the very beginning, Opta, the world's leading data company, has been recording every pass, goal, offside, and assist. But it's only very recently that clubs have seen the benefit of this informaiton. From heat maps to clear-cut chances, and pass-completion to distance run, this information is invaluable. They dictate transfer policy and drive clubs to achieve perfection. Duncan Alexander delves deep into the statistics and reveals some startling facts. You will discover the blueprint to the perfect game, why Rooney is still England's best striker, and why, if you want to win the league, you should always use a 4-4-2 formation.
