Project Purpose
I created this project as a fun way to build my skills in PowerBI, and practice web scrapping.
Project Idea
This project blends two of my favorite things together, soccer and data. I want to report each position's best players using data from Major League Soccer. The positions would be split into forwards, midfielders, defenders, and goalkeepers. Each position would have unique identifiers for the best player. For example, the forwards would be based on their average (mean) goals scored per season while the midfielders would be based on their average assists per season. Users shall be able to navigate between different positions and be able to select specific players to see additional statistics.
Python
(EDA and Cleaning)
PowerBI
(Dashboarding)
EDA consisted of understanding the meanings behind column headers, assessing null entries, recognizing keys, and noting important columns.
I merged tables such as the players' table to the keepers' table to find out how many times a defender's goalkeeper was scored on (hence the defender was scored on).
