Modelling the English as 18% Italian doesn't make sense either. The English are more EEF than the Anglo-Saxons, that's why Global25 has selected and inflated a source that has much more like Italian_Lombardy but they are not necessarily descended from it. However, I agree that greater proximity to the Anglo-Saxons does not imply descending directly from them.

This is a PCA I made using Eurogenes K13. As you can see, the English are mostly pre-Anglo-Saxon and it is therefore unlikely that (on average) they are 80% Anglo-Saxon.
The brown dots: English samples (Romans and Iron Age) ranging from 200 BC to 200 AD.
The blue dots: English samples (Anglo-Saxon) ranging from 460 to 785 AD.

I don't think anyone here, nor the study itself, claims that modern English are 80% Anglo-Saxon. Just that the base population in SE England was. Obviously they would have mixed more with other natives as they expanded west and north, hence the 25-40% estimates we see today. Hopefully the study expands upon this and makes some modern estimates,
