20/21 EPL Data Visualizations: About this site

About Me

My name is Marco Tchernychev, I am a junior at Brookline High School. As you might have been able to tell, I’m a huge soccer fan!

My project Visualizations for the 20/21 Premier League Season explores how age relates to goals, and how nationality relates to passing.

Find a soccer player’s prime goal scoring years.
- Interestingly enough, 23 year olds scored the joint most goals in the premier league, signaling a possible shift towards younger ages when considering prime goal scoring years.
Determine whether certain countries pass more than others.
- A challenge I had with the Country vs Passing graph was wrangling the data in such a way to make accurate conclusions. In the end, I ended up distilling the data down to countries with 4 or more outfield players who played at least half of the premier league season. I then took the average passes per 90 minutes for each countries’ respective players and graphed that.
