Data Structure

The data folder contains the data from past seasons as well as the current season. It is structured as follows:

• season/cleaned_players.csv : The overview stats for the season
• season/gws/gw_number.csv : GW-specific stats for the particular season
• season/gws/merged_gws.csv : GW-by-GW stats for each player in a single file
• season/players/player_name/gws.csv : GW-by-GW stats for that specific player
• season/players/player_name/history.csv : Prior seasons history stats for that specific player.

Player Position Data

In players_raw.csv, element_type is the field that corresponds to the position. 1 = GK 2 = DEF 3 = MID 4 = FWD

You can download the data for your team by executing the following steps:
