Sunderland AFC Individual Data Evaluation

Here is Sunderland’s individual player data for the season so far (pre QPR).

Here is Sunderland’s individual player data for the season so far (pre QPR). 

The percentage number indicates the percentage of wingers his data is better than in each metric. So if a player has 65% for goals then that means they have scored more goals than 65% of players in the league in their position for example.

Using data from Wyscout before coding it in Tableau, we’re able to see where each Sunderland player ranks for each metric. 

What can we do with this info? 

1. See strengths 

2. See weaknesses

3. See play style 

The strengths and weakness don’t always correspond to the ability the player has in regards in to each metric but it can tell a story of what the player has done so far in the season. 

The early eye opening observations are the just how good Roberts, Clarke, Neil and Ekwah are.
