Historical Data for Attack and Defense Rating (for Soccer) #322

Hey,

Thanks a lot for bringing that invaluable dataset and website. I have a question/request. When we check individual match prediction from the website, we can see attack and defense rating for each team. (Which makes perfect sense as you are using modified version of Poisson model -- something like Dixon-Coles etc). However, in csv file of matches, we can only see SPI ratings of each team with win probability etc. but not attack and defense ratings.

season,date,league_id,league,team1,team2,spi1,spi2,prob1,prob2,probtie,proj_score1,proj_score2,importance1,importance2,score1,score2,xg1,xg2,nsxg1,nsxg2,adj_score1,adj_score2

Are you planning to add that attack and defense rating data to csv file of matches? If you can add that, that would be awesome.

Ps. I am aware that we have latest attack and defense rating in the team csv. But those are current ratings and do not include any historic data?

As there will be no update in the future based on what is written in the website, closing my issue.
