FBRef has great historical data for results. Can be used for xCleanie model. https://fbref.com/en/comps/9/2020-2021/schedule/2020-2021-Premier-League-Scores-and-Fixtures Just need to figure out how to download/scrape

FBRef also has great player match data and player seasonal historical data. Would be very tedious to go per player and manually export each one. Look into doing this faster.

For an example of the player match log data, refer to this link: https://fbref.com/en/players/cd1acf9d/matchlogs/2022-2023/c9/Trent-Alexander-Arnold-Match-Logs

If we can find a way to automate this for every player in the premier league for the last 5(debatable, any thoughts on this would be good) seasons, we would have perfect data for an xG and xA model

We also need shooting/passing metrics per season per player. This doesn't need to be game by game but more so seasonal averages. The following example would be found here: https://fbref.com/en/players/99127249/dom_lg/Antony-Domestic-League-Stats

FBRef player match-log data retrieved which contains xG and xA for each player and each match over the last 5 seasons.

Retrieve team defensive and goalkeeping data from FBRef

hkenawi commented 3 months ago

Team defensive and goalkeeping data from FBRef has been retrieved. Closing this with understanding that clean sheet data is still needed. Creating separate new issue for that.
