Listen, there's a few guys here who hit the like button pretty hard per your request. But I'm telling you my like had some heat on it.

[@McKayJohns]

I was actually speaking directly to you knowing you would break the like button with how hard you hit it

Can someone help me solve this error ? ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'soccerplots' I have installed soccerplots in pip installer but still getting this message

[@k4iz3r777]

Im getting an error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'soccerplots I have installed soccerplots and in the python libraries in the soccerplot folder there is a file radar_chart.py Does anyone have a solution to this?

[@datascience91]

I think it's no longer supported. Last update was on 2020.

[@avneetrekhi20]

Super work. You are awesome

Thank you! Cheers!

[@samprzemyslawbaldowski2085]

Hi. That's very nice videos. How long it took you to learn Python/doing such things? I am just starting and this is ming boggling :)) but want to find out more. Do you do any courses online? Thanks. Sam.

[@McKayJohns]

hey sam, i've been coding for a while now but i got started with some courses on Udemy as well as through school work!

[@gabrielcardosomattos5658]

Hey @MckayJohns, I was wondering! How can I compare more than 2 players on The same soccerplot graph? Your tutorial is amazing but I a having trouble addin a 3rd data group on The same visualization. Is it possible? Thank you

[@shubhangidabral8460]

Amazing ⚡

[@McKayJohns]

Thanks!

[@LigaLavo]

thanks for the video please can you do one on scraping data from fbref. Given we can't get the CSV file like before for the shots

[@adildx1]

Thanks for the tutorial

[@McKayJohns]

No problem!

[@SomduttaSomSinha]

I'm getting an error: 'length of values should be greater than equal to 3' which I don't understand as I'm only comparing two sets of data.

[@McKayJohns]

If you reach out to me on Twitter I can probably help you better 👍🏻

[@phanquyetthang9261]

Hi, could you explain it to me again please. I got the same error

[@bhosaleprathamesh]

did you find the solution?

[@heartofmarkness]

Instead of eliminating all the players in the dataframe to build the comparison radar chart, could you build a dropdown menu that could be selected to be used to select players to display on the radar chart? If I wanted to compare players by position or nation, resetting the data frame seems highly cumbersome, but I can't seem to get the dropdown or the chart to work work cleanly.

[@mirekkowalczyk-o8w]

hello, I have completed the Statsbomb football analysis application, I decided to implement the football players data analysis training I am at the beginning and I am using python and your environment was jupyter I can be the same? would you show how to start from the beginning step by step

[@simon-peterosadiapet6821]

please what tools are best for football data visualization

[@joyanbhathena7251]

What was that add 25% and subtract 25% for?

[@haroonsidheekhikt3015]

They are the boundaries of the radar, Adding 25% is for the upper bound and other one is the lower bound

[@siddhantjain1479]

hey, thank you so much for the wonderful tutorial. can you let me know how to increase the size of the radar chart?

[@DANNYEL20122]

hi please the github file isn't opening any more. Please can you tell me how you got the data from fbref?

[@McKayJohns]

github.com/mckayjohns/youtube-videos hey sorry i'll update it but heres where the files are at now

[@aboodburiahi2972]

Thank you for this amazing video, I have question , is it possible to use without ranges , I just want to show the exact number without showing the ranges? because it's kind of confusing .

[@yashsalvi3653]

When I use the reset. index on my dataset, the values do not appear on my dataset? Could I know the reason for this?

[@bs7-esr107]

Can you make this in R please mate? I tried with fmsb package but I could not reproduce to this level.

[@arshad1781]

Good tutorial

[@McKayJohns]

Glad you think so!

[@jordanh962]

Hi mate, I have replicated this code in Jupyter Notebook. However, when trying to run the code as a python visual in Power BI I get an error when adding the ranges to the list of tuple pairs. The type error arises from the variable "a": can't multiple sequence by a non-int of type float. It thinks the minimum and maximum values are non-integers and then when we multiply by 25% it errors out. Any clues?

[@jordanh962]

Feedback Type: Error Message: Python script error. Traceback (most recent call last): File "PythonScriptWrapper.PY", line 33, in a = a - (a*.25) TypeError: can't multiply sequence by non-int of type 'float'

[@tomwalker2070]

Hi Jordan, I ran into this problem too, I know it is two years late but I think that it is because some of my data was percentages and had a percent symbol

[@BauBau1607]

I watched and did exactly as u did, but then I get a message sayin' like this : TypeError: __init__() missing 3 required positional arguments: 'params', 'min_range', and 'max_range' I don't know how to fix this somehow. Pls show me the solution Many thanks
