The Football Scraper and Transfer Visualizer

[barjacks]

I have written a scraper that takes player data from the Swiss football league from Transfermarkt.com and makes four graphs on how the new players of the various teams compare to the players the teams sold: Experience, Size, Goals, Assists.

The charts looks like this:

And the code looks like this: https://github.com/barjacks/fussball/blob/master/Super_League_Transfers.ipynb

Now I want to expand the scraper to the German, maybe also English football leagues. And add two more graphs: Points per game avg and age.

**UPDATE:*****

Adapting my Football Scraper to the Bundesliga

Seems like you have a really good sense of what you'd like to do with this dataset. Would be interesting to see if there are trends in the age of new players on certain teams etc.

Hi there, I'm the Playfair Bot! Would you mind posting the appropriate checklist in the main body of your issue? You might have posted it as the first comment, but it turns out it works way better in the actual body of the issue - just go up to the veeery top right and click the pencil icon to edit. You'll probably want to edit the comment to copy the checklist, then edit the original issue to paste it in. Thanks! :pray:
