The Squad statistics widget lets you show various team statistics during a specific season. Moreover, the widget allows you to show–and break into details– the information about each player position on the team. This is a great tool if you want to create more context about teams in your posts.

The Player career football widget collects information from regional, national, and international tournaments to create detailed profiles of a player’s career.
