Not being funny but at the very least this is highly exaggerated and at worst complete and utter bullshit.

You think?

one week last season, just 33 players from England started games in the Premier League, out of 20 teams.

Given the fact that the players probably range from around 19 to early 30's in general. You might be looking on average at 1 or 2 English players from each age being regular starters in the Premier League.

So yeah, it's probably not far off the odds of winning the lottery as it is being a Premier League regular due to the amount of foreign imports. Much more opportunity in lower leagues though.

Even looking at the England starting 11 in the last game, someone like Stones doesn't even get regular game time for their clubs.

[Caught Square]

Wow this has been a fun end to end game. Great twist at the end!

That was a nice run for the goal.
