Christoph Biermann
Ian Graham, author of How to Win the Premier League

What if what we know about football isn't true?
What if we praise and criticise the wrong teams?
What if Real Madrid have won the Champions League too many times and Pep Guardiola too few?
And what if the wrong teams end up winning the league and others incorrectly relegated?
Christoph Biermann has embarked on a search for chance and spoken with coaches, managers, club owners and mathematicians all over the globe. He has discovered some astonishing things that will change our view of football and how we talk about the magic of the game.
This is a deep-dive into the element of chance in football - the fine margins and the small yet significant moments that completely alter the course of a match and our perceptions of an overall performance.
By delving into the innovative ways in which elite clubs are looking to mitigate and harness the element of luck through analytics, Game Theory will change the way you watch football forever.
