Football Data Analysis
5/7/2025
This project collects a few spurious (and sometimes unfinished) bits of code that I have worked on over time analysing football player data.
There is an example of a radar plot comparing 3 footballers, using the soccerplot package.
There are also position-specific programs which require manually inputting data from fbref. I used a pizza diagrams package for visualisation.
Finally, there is a program that scrapes data fronm fbref into the notebook and takes various steps to process and organise that data. I got pretty far with this but didn't reach a point where the data was 100% accurate before having to stop (real world constraints aka jobs etc). Still, good learning process and useful experience with Python and web-scraping.
