Statsbomb have released a free dataset to help the public get used to their data product but also provide data to kick start people's journey into football analytics.
To help people on their journey I have created a R package that creates customisable plots of pitches in ggplot2 that allows event data to be plotted on top.
I have also created some tutorials to help others explore the data.
Installation is straight forward via the devtools package and the install_github() function.
devtools::install_github("FCrSTATS/SBpitch")The package offers lots of customisable features but the default plot.
create_Pitch()
create_Pitch(BasicFeatures = TRUE)
create_Pitch(middlethird = TRUE))
Line Design
create_Pitch(goaltype = "line")
Box Design
create_Pitch(goaltype = "box")
Barca Numbers Design
create_Pitch(goaltype = "barcanumbers")
create_Pitch(JdeP = TRUE)
There are 4 colours that you can adjust
create_Pitch(grass_colour = "#224C56",
line_colour = "#B3CED9",
background_colour = "#224C56",
goal_colour = "#15393D")
create_Pitch(grass_colour = "#202020",
line_colour = "#797876",
background_colour = "#202020",
goal_colour = "#131313")
create_Pitch(grass_colour = "#538032",
line_colour = "#ffffff",
background_colour = "#538032",
goal_colour = "#000000")
