• Collect statistical data [*] for all players who have played more than 90 minutes in the
2024-2025 English Premier League season.
• Data source: https://fbref.com/en/
• Save the result to a file named 'results.csv', where the result table has the following
structure:
o Each column corresponds to a statistic.
o Players are sorted alphabetically by their first name.
o Any statistic that is unavailable or inapplicable should be marked as "N/a".
• [*] The required statistics are:
o Nation
o Team
o Position
o Age
o Playing Time: matches played, starts, minutes
o Performance: goals, assists, yellow cards, red cards
o Expected: expected goals (xG), expedted Assist Goals (xAG)
o Progression: PrgC, PrgP, PrgR
o Per 90 minutes: Gls, Ast, xG, xGA
o Goalkeeping:
▪ Performance: goals against per 90mins (GA90), Save%, CS%
▪ Penalty Kicks: penalty kicks Save%
o Shooting:
▪ Standard: shoots on target percentage (SoT%), Shoot on Target per 90min
(SoT/90), goals/shot (G/sh), average shoot distance (Dist)
o Passing:
▪ Total: passes completed (Cmp),Pass completion (Cmp%), progressive
passing distance (TotDist)
▪ Short: Pass completion (Cmp%),
▪ Medium: Pass completion (Cmp%),
▪ Long: Pass completion (Cmp%),
▪ Expected: key passes (KP), pass into final third (1/3), pass into penalty
area (PPA), CrsPA, PrgP

II. (2 points)

• Identify the top 3 players with the highest and lowest scores for each statistic. Save result
to a file name ‘top_3.txt’
• Find the median for each statistic. Calculate the mean and standard deviation for each
statistic across all players and for each team. Save the results to a file named 'results2.csv'
with the following format:

Median of Mean of Std of … …


Atttribute 1 Atttribute 1 Atttribute 1
0 all
1 Team 1
…
n Team n

• Plot a histogram showing the distribution of each statistic for all players in the league and
each team.
• Identify the team with the highest scores for each statistic. Based on your analysis, which
team do you think is performing the best in the 2024-2025 Premier League season?
• Histogram Plot: https://matplotlib.org/stable/api/_as_gen/matplotlib.pyplot.hist.html

III. (3 points)

• Use the K-means algorithm to classify players into groups based on their statistics.
• How many groups should the players be classified into? Why? Provide your comments
on the results.
• Use PCA to reduce the data dimensions to 2, then plot a 2D cluster of the data points.
IV. (2 point)

• Collect player transfer values for the 2024-2025 season from


https://www.footballtransfers.com. Note that only collect for the players whose playing
