Data Structure

The data folder contains the data from past seasons as well as the current season. It is structured as follows:

season/cleaned_players.csv : The overview stats for the season
season/gws/gw_number.csv : GW-specific stats for the particular season
season/gws/merged_gws.csv : GW-by-GW stats for each player in a single file
season/players/player_name/gws.csv : GW-by-GW stats for that specific player
season/players/player_name/history.csv : Prior seasons history stats for that specific player.

Player Position Data

In players_raw.csv, element_type is the field that corresponds to the position. 1 = GK 2 = DEF 3 = MID 4 = FWD

Errata

GW35 expected points data is wrong (all values are 0).

Contributing

If you feel like there is some data that is missing which you would like to see, then please feel free to create a PR or create an issue highlighting what is missing and what you would like to be added
If you have access to old data (pre-2016) then please feel free to create Pull Requests adding the data to the repo or create an issue with links to old data and I will add them myself.

Using

If you use data from here for your website or blog posts, then I would humbly request that you please add a link back to this repo as the data source (and I would in turn add a link to your post/site as a notable usage of this repo).

Downloading Your Team Data

You can download the data for your team by executing the following steps:

python teams_scraper.py <team_id>
#Eg: python teams_scraper.py 4582

This will create a new folder called "team_<team_id>_data18-19" with individual files of all the important data
