Hi guys,
In this weeks tutorial, we are expanding on the shot plot we created in R by adding some extra information to easily understand the plot and some context around it. This will include cards which total up shots and are coloured based on the if this game was above or below an average for the season. We will also have a matrix at the bottom, highlighting how the shots were created such as from a corner or open play.
Following on from last weeks post on plotting passes, I thought it might be fun to plot the shots and locations of players using the shot freeze frame in StatsBomb data. For those of you that haven’t already, I posted a tutorial around how to extract the freeze frame data included here. So if you need to, take a look at that post before going further.
For this post, I have loaded the following packages to use and colours to be applied to our plots further down:
