The Static XI

Every Premier League club ranked by how much its manager changes the starting XI, counted from the official team sheets.

Managers talk about settled sides. The team sheets tell you who actually picks one. We count every change each club makes to its starting XI from one match to the next, then rank the whole division, from the most settled side to the one nobody can predict.

The table is loading. Check back shortly.

How we count a change

A change is any player who starts a match having not started the one before it, in the same competition. An unchanged eleven scores zero; a completely new team scores eleven. The first match of a season sets the baseline and counts for nothing, and a team sheet that reaches us incomplete is skipped rather than counted as wholesale change.

Everything here comes from official team sheets as published at kickoff, not from predicted or reported lineups. Records are bounded by the seasons we hold, so a "longest run" is the longest in our records rather than an all-time claim.
