The "golden age" of a football player
It's been some time since my last post on football. And we're talking about european soccer here.
So I finally managed to write some functions which allow me to extract player stats from www.transfermarkt.de. The site tracks lots of stats in the world of soccer. For each player, there is information about the dominant foot, height, age, the estimated market value of the player and a load more.
I extracted stats for all registered players from the five major national championships in Europe. Namely, the Bundesliga (Germany), Ligue 1 (France), Premier League (UK), Primera División (Spain) and the Serie A (Italy). Now I have information for 2628 players concerning position, dominant foot, age, height and estimated market value.
The information is in a dataframe called "eu.players".
