The Planete Football Editorial Team
Five writers covering football analytics, betting strategy, statistics, European football, and daily news. Every published article carries the writer's name, role and credentials — no anonymous editorial labels.
James McAllister
Senior Football Analyst
Football analytics writer covering the Premier League and European football since 2019. Previously contributed to analytics-focused outlets covering tactical reviews and xG modelling. Focuses on how underlying data — xG, xPTS, pressing intensity — translates to fixtures and betting value.
Marjorie Hubrig
Football Correspondent
Marjorie writes match reports, transfer round-ups and short-form news for Planete Football, with a focus on the Premier League and Championship. She prioritises clear sourcing — every claim links back to a club statement, official roster or established outlet.
Stacey Polcher
Senior Football Writer
Stacey covers tactics, set-piece trends and player-role analysis across England's top two tiers. Her work leans on publicly available match data — FBref, Opta-derived dashboards and club press releases — rather than hot takes.
Julia Keesling
European Football Correspondent
Julia covers La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga and Ligue 1 for Planete Football. She writes league-week round-ups, manager and transfer stories from the European top flights, and explainer pieces on club competition formats.
How We Write
Every Planete Football article is attributed to a named writer with a specialism. Match previews and tactical analysis are anchored by our Senior Football Analyst; daily news comes from our News & Transfer Editor; betting strategy explainers from our Betting Strategy Editor; statistical explainers from our Data & Statistics Writer; and European league coverage from our European Football Correspondent.
Each writer follows the same editorial standards: every numerical claim is cross-checked against a primary source (FBref, Transfermarkt, official club records, UEFA), no fabricated quotes, no anonymous-source attribution unless via a named reputable outlet, and 18+ markers on every page with gambling content.
