sportstat 2.0.0

This is sportstat, a Python package that I hope will give more people access to soccer data. Gone are the days of downloading spreadsheets one-by-one, copy-pasting, or entering data into spreadsheets by hand. I try to make sportstat as easy-to-use as possible so that anybody with a bit of Python experience can use it.

To install sportstat, run pip install sportstat from the command line.

Data can be scraped from the following sources:

• FBRef
  • Match and seasonal data for players and teams
• Understat
  • Match and seasonal data for players and teams
• FiveThirtyEight
  • Several FiveThirtyEight metrics on a match level (SPI, win probabilities, xG, NSxG, and more)
• ClubELO
  • ELO scores for teams on a specific date
• Capology
  • Player salary data
• Transfermarkt
  • Market value, transfer history, market value history, and more

For usage examples, look at Examples.ipynb in the code directory or some of my example analyses in the analytics_examples folder.
