From the very beginning, Opta, the world's leading data company, has been recording every pass, goal, offside, and assist.

They dictate transfer policy and drive clubs to achieve perfection. In Outside the Box, 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.
