Dreamteam Ratings

Post by ffstuff »

I've just started adding some of this data to my site.

Just tinkering with some of the champions league/Europa league data this week at the moment.

Feel free to take a look and let me know if anything obvious amiss.

Hopefully gives abit more info on how the rating is obtained.

Once I know its working correctly, i'll then start to add the historical and upcoming matches after they complete , so if you do spot an issue please let me know

See yah

Frank

Edit: In case its not obvious, choose a date first (just the 11,12 & 13th have info so far while i test) , then the match drop down will populate, choose a match then the team drop down will populate, choose a team and then the player dropdown will populate, choose a player and see their ratings and associated parameters making that rating.

Like i've said before its an economy hosting plan to keep my costs down so it can take a few seconds to populate the dropdowns as you step through

Thanks for this Frank. Interesting sruff but getting a bit detailed for me! I know plenty of people on here that it will appeal to though.

Loving the top 100 feature. Now all you need to do is stop man city conceding!

Will take someone better than me :) - just looking at some stats, first yellow cards seem to have no effect (or very little) on players, compared to a straight red or second yellow

I will start running the scrape routine tonight to start importing all the premier league games at first (from August upto now) , it will take a while to run, lots of data to scrape and save into my database. I'll advise when its complete. Then start on the other comps.

Wow your website is the only place to go now for sun dream team info.

Well played Frank and thanks.

The only feedback for me would be to make your fixtures grid as user friendly as cbn's, his is the best!

You only need to look at his grid for 5 secs and its clear who has the easiest fixtures due to layout, colour, simplicity etc.

Fixture's grid is probably the most important piece of sun dream team info.

If we’re throwing in feedback;

Is it possible to keep the column headings/rows (a la freezing panes on Excel).

When viewing on a mobile you have to scroll for ages so you often lose context of what you’re looking at.

all now uploaded, some of the cup games didn't have the full stats on Whoscored even though they involved premier league clubs
I'll give it all a better layout/selection method at some point but all the data is there.

the calendar shows red outlines on days that there is match data for

Love your work Frank. Two things...

Firstly, with the fixtures can you indicate which team is at home and which team is away? Maybe capitals on the row where the team is at home...

Secondly, it’d be great to be able to filter the player list to create like a shortlist of players, so that you can compare their stats without having to have multiple windows to flick between. Perhaps a tick box at the start of each row and then a toggle at the top to show/hide unticked players. It’d be great if you could get back to the same list later on or post the link to some players on here, so maybe have a querystring parameter that re-ticks the shortlisted players when the page loads, with the URL to the shortlist shown under the toggle button updated dynamically as you tick or untick a player.

Also, I didn’t know you were on Words With Friends :D

I don't mind being asked for stuff, i'll always try and improve things; so as long as people arent constantly chasing me up to have it done, all suggestions are welcome.

I have now instigated the home/away request which was straight forward, so home games are shown with the opposition team name in capitals, away games with the opposition team name in lower case

Happy Christmas Y'all (and dot)

All the above praise is well earned. Thanks for your work Frank.

Not sure if its already available or if it's even possible, but in the top 100 chart would it be feasible to show the managers' remaining number of transfers. Apologies if this is an impossible request.

I think its a tough one to get accurate with JPK having a similar issue trying to track transfers in the past also.

Good day Striker,

The issue here is that someone can make transfers the day before the monthly deadline and after it in that first week of the new month and there is no way of really knowing when the transfer has been made. Any measures put in place would never be 100% accurate. As a result I've not bothered and instead people can click on the team name, see the history and transfers used by week and make their own mind up. Again the transfers used by week is derived by seeing the difference between thee previous weeks team and this, again someone could well have made transfers after the 7am deadline and this will show in the previous week as there is no way of knowing the exact time of a transfer. Sometimes you will see 4 transfers in a week on a cross over, where someone has used their last remaining transfer up and then made the next 3 transfers.

I'm happy to try and put something in place if a consensus can be arrived at as to the "best" solution for all

See yah

Frank

Hi Stigtag

They are all the stats that WhoScored have in their data behind the scenes on the match webpage
Who knows if they squirrel any more away that they simply do not show.

Its quite a miserable way of displaying the data at the moment, I really need to find some time to change this to where if you pick a match day it simply shows all the matches and players with their final rating and then a simple click on this rating gives the breakdown. It will be a whole lot more user friendly then than it is now. I just wanted to get the data available first

Thanks. So I guess that if one makes a print out of the table of the top teams soon after 7 am on the first Friday of a month, one can use this together with clicking on a team name to see how exactly many transfers that manager has made that month?

Won't you need to print it prior to the new transfers then again at 7am. Not sure any previous months transfers would show however until they play and at that point they could be the new months transfers!

So why can't frank or JPK work out if a transfer has been used last month or this month.

Never been one to follow other teams transfers to much so never really thought about it

Yes I knew that, but I'm on about following transfers from one month to the next so we know how many people have left on a given point in the month

I never got to the bottom of how quickly changes are shown for transfers made in the previous week, otherwise I would write something myself to do exactly what you say. But I thought some people were saying the changes didn't appear until the match started - maybe I heard wrong

By the way, its not finished yet, but the new ratings screen (http://ffstuff.co.uk/DreamTeamRatings.php)should hopefully be a vast improvement over what it was.

You can now simply choose the date from the menu , after a few seconds it will then show all the matches for that day and the player ratings. Clicking on the player name then brings up a modal window showing the analysis behind it from WhoScored

Do you have to manually update the top 100 Frank or does it update automatically at a certain point each day
