Season Story

Each Premier League club's season on four plates: a master sheet, then the active window, the squad spine and absences. A club comes up when it reaches a milestone, so all twenty arrive in the same few days.

Opta match data and Power Rankings, with Transfermarkt absences, Premier League

Methodology

  • Built from Opta match data, cup ties, Transfermarkt absence projections and Opta Power Rankings, baked into each club's season file after every round.
  • A club is rendered when its played league matches reach 6, 10, 14, 18, 22, 26, 30, 34 or 38. The plates show the latest round, so a gameweek 6 milestone can carry gameweek 8 numbers.
  • Post 1 is the master sheet. Post 2 has three plates: the last five results and next five fixtures with Opta power ratings, the top 14 by appearances with minutes share, and absences with fixture congestion.
  • The publisher posts the highest-ranked club milestone not yet posted, two slots a day.
