Help needed for a complete noob.

Open syjytg opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

Hi can you please provide me step by step instructions for a complete noob?

  1. How to download all the data?
  2. Take a match for example (Just say Chelsea vs Manchester United recently.)
  3. How do I read the events data for the Chelsea vs Manchester United match? (I have R and have installed statsbomb on R.)

There is some info on using StatsBombR here. If you are a paying customer you should be able to get the events via the get.events function with the id for the match

Yes I know about https://github.com/statsbomb/StatsBombR/blob/master/README.md but I don't understand a thing. I am not yet a paying customer. I want to try on a free match here to make sure I know how to get the data before becoming one.

Statsbomb have put out some material on using the data in R here. Also I would recommend FC RStats who has some good stuff here to get you started

dumb question perhaps but do you need to a statsbomb subscription to make sense of this data? If not how does one make convert this data into something useful? Sorry i am also a complete noob but highly interested
