ELO Rating Method:
Introducing ELO to football

An ELO Rating is the best way to rate two teams or players with respect to each other. It is widely used in chess but why stop there? Despite not being a zero-sum game per se, individual footballers in similar positions can still be compared with each other.

This is good way to visualize a player's shot data. The size of the circle represents xG and colour shows the type of shot. It is useful to ajudge a player's shot selection through this.
