The insider account of the data revolution that has swept through the modern football world written by one of its key architects, Ian Graham.

Between 2012 and 2023, Ian Graham worked as Liverpool FCs Director of Research. His tenure coincided with the clubs greatest period of success since the 1980s, including winning the Premier League in 2020 Liverpools first league title after an agonising 29 years.

Here for the first time, Graham reveals the fascinating data that informed some of the clubs most pivotal moments of the past decade, from the appointment of Jurgen Klopp as manager in 2015 to the then-record signing of Mohamed Salah in 2017. Along the way, he shares groundbreaking insight into the modern game, including how a season largely played behind closed doors transformed our understanding of a home-side advantage, or why the GOAT (greatest of all time) might not be who you think. And, in a game that is increasingly dominated by an elite few oil-backed teams, Graham charts a path for the future where a data-savvy underdog will always find their competitive edge.

A fascinating, witty and remarkably insightful account of Liverpools reinvention and a clear-eyed, detailed explanation of the inner workings of modern football. Nobody is better qualified to tell either of those stories than Ian Graham, who stands as one of the most (quietly) significant figures in the recent history of the club and the sport Rory Smith, author of Expected Goals and Chief Soccer Correspondent, New York Times

Never before has the data revolution in football been described so well from the inside. Christoph Biermann, author of Football Hackers

How to Win the Premier League gives you three books for the price of one: a book about all of the silly inefficiencies plaguing European football, a book about what its like to be empowered to use outside-the-box thinking to help turn your boyhood club into the best team in the world, and a book about how football actually works. If he really wanted to, Ian could easily put me out of a job.
