Exploring Passing Networks

The analysis of passing in elite soccer is common place. Often media shows simple pass counts and pass completion rates but there are much better ways of viewing this type of data. For example, we can create a passing network based on the average position of players when making a pass. We can also show where the number of passes they make between themselves and another player. This could be extremely powerful data to show how the passes between players and from where on the pitch.
