Answer 1

You can use Form-model binding to accomplish that.

Form::model($statistic, ['route' => ['.......']])

It'll auto select your stored values matching field name with form input name.

Here you will get some idea.

Also there is another way. Consider your foreign key name is leage_id in statistics table update your form like below:

{{ Form::select("toLeague", $leagues, $statistic->league_id, ['class' => 'form-control']) }}
