Get Your Stats Right: August 2025
A first look at the new season data behind United's mid-table start
We’re delighted to have our resident statistician Ben Griffis back for the new season on the UTAS website! As well as the monthly data pieces looking at the league as a whole and how United compare, alongside some new match preview stat packs ahead of each game starting from Saturday’s game vs Newport, he’s also back with his monthly round-up of U’s data.
Get Your Stats Right (GYSR as it’s affectionately known) was incredibly popular last season. If you want to ask Ben a specific question for the next piece, just leave a comment and he can answer it in an upcoming issue. Maybe there’s a hunch you have when you watch us play, or a player you’re not convinced about, he can find some numbers to either back up (or maybe disprove) your theory.
This season these pieces are only for Coconut Tier legends. You can sign up below for £5 a month and get all of Ben’s pieces, as well as other weekly articles, extra exclusive monthly pods, and first dibs on upcoming merch releases 🥥

But, should we be 13th? The answer really is no, we shouldn’t. Here’s why:
