NEW MATCH AND SEASON HUB
« on: Friday 28-Sep-2018, 12:52* »
Hi all,

A while ago I put up a dashboard for the History of the English premiership - this was posted on the old rugby network sites

Last nightI have made live a new set of dashboards that allows the user to investigate individual matches, player performance for the season to date and comparisons on team performance.

All rounds 1-4 have been included and the intention is to continue doing this each week, to see how the season pans out.

While it's not everones cup of tea (stats and data visualisation), but check it out, you might find something interesting in it.

All charts should be interactive, select and they will highlight/filter the other charts to highlight individual players or teams.

Don't be put off by a 15-20 load time, once in, they work reasonably quickly!

(Hopefully the link works, 1st time I've posted on this site!)

I should probably highlight there are tabs at the top of the screen to move between dashboards - they are not immediately obvious.

Laptop / tablet view is best, but it still works on a mobile.

It'll be good to have your feedback!

Cheers

Salmon

It looks pretty impressive.  I think it will take me some time to dig into it and understand some of the stats.

Wow. Where are all your stats coming from?

Hats off, that is seriously impressive.

What are you using to program it? I tried something like this in excel a couple of seasons ago, but I couldn't publish it interactively...

Our attacking is woeful. Tries/breaks, metres run per carry etc - whither the quins way?

Yes its all built within Tableau.

The data is coming from ESPN website, there is a link to the data at the bottom of the each page (click the ESPN logo).

That is some seriously cool visual analytics you have there... you do this for a living?

Had a look at your some of your other visualisations too - the history of the Rugby Union Premiership is equally cool (https://public.tableau.com/profile/sparsonsdataviz#!/vizhome/EnglishRugbyUnionHistory/History).

Good work that man!

Thanks!

I will be doing for a living from November!  So can't wait.  Although it won't be Rugby data, that's just for fun - for me!

If you find anything that doesn't work let me know.

Or equally, any suggestions on adding to it, again I'm happy for feedback!

Cheers

Do you have to copy the data, or does it feed in automatically?

Passes per ruck is interesting, we're miles lower than everyone else.

The raw stats are always interesting, but put in the context of metres per break or minutes per tackle are far more interesting.

Anything you could do to assign points to a player for positive interactions per game, to choose a team of the round or of the season? Very subjective obviously, and might not be what you are trying to do, but always a bit of fun!

Currently it's all manual data gathering. But will need to definitely look at automating it soon. I can't do it manually all season!

Nice idea about player points, I'll give it some thought!  Think RugbyPass do some kind of player ranking system, I'll see if I can gather any ideas from there.

Just a quick one to say this Match and Season Hub has now been updated with Round 5 data.

Don't worry I won't notify every week and keep bugging you all!  Just take it that I'll update it on Monday /Tuesday each week.

Thanks for listening! (2,500 views and counting!)
