First post! This Sunday I learnt some R and worked on some BCFC data visualisation. The aim is to bring Premier League analysis to Blackpool FC! Follow @Glad_All_Over_ on Twitter for more, and I would love questions, comments or feedback.
The first shows how our Expected Goals For (xG) and Expected Goals Against (xGA) are performing. These lines basically show how well we’re creating good chances, against how many good chances we’re conceding. Under Simon Grayson, we were becoming a more and more negative team. Under Critch, the trend lines show we’re firming up at the back while also creating better ad better chances.
The second one is an analysis of our squad. It shows us that:
1) Blackpool has a really well built squad; mostly relying on players in their prime. The one exception is Chris Maxwell, whose prime is very different as a GK.
2) There are a worrying number of players we use a lot out of contract this summer (e.g Turton, Garbutt, Kaikai, Ward)
3) Turton is the longest serving player at the club, which is why the white line trailing behind his dot is the longest.
Would love feedback. Hope others find this as interesting as I did!
