LaLiga 2018/19 Season Player Statistics provided by LaLiga

TODO

• Re-structure the repository so as to separete the previous season stats and dataset and the current season dataset
• Create a new Python notebook so as to retrieve the LaLiga 2019/2020 Season Advanced player stats which can be found at: https://www.laliga.com/estadisticas-avanzadas
• Once generated, upload the dataset to Kaggle
• Also, if applicable, test: https://github.com/alvarobartt/datable usage

Introduction

As LaLiga does not have a public API, I have decided to develop a web scraper in order to retrieve information from LaLiga players and their performance through the past season (2018/19) so that any Data Scientist or Data Enthusiastic can handle it and abstract their own conclusions and research.

Additional Information

This dataset has been generated from LaLiga available data on player statistics and performance on the past season (2018/19). The motivation of this project is completely focused on research purposes and so on both the Jupyter Notebook and consequently the dataset are going to be improved and more data will be added if possible.

For further information or any question feel free to contact me via email at [email protected]
