Hello guys,,
After my last post in the transfer targets installments saga turned out to be less of a success, I realised the Reddit table format was not enough to fulfill the needs of an aspiring Football Manager. The usability just wasn't there, so, to address that problem, UI had to be re-thought. After some thought, I realised that Football Manager is not much more than a glorified spreadsheet. This in turn made me realise that the easist way to display the condesned data might be via Excel, or its online equivalent - Google Sheets. I've shoved the information there, taking full advantage of advanced formatting capabilities such as "bold font", "freezing cells", and "cell colors". Due to my appaling design skills, I've been using the moniker "Spreadshits" when refering to the tables. Nonetheless, I think the data is now in a much more usable format.
I've rated each player based on the attributes required for a given role and calculated a standard score, thereby creating a metric that allows you to compare a player to all other players that can play on that same position within the same role. This allowed me to find the best transfer targets at the start of the game for various categories of players. Namely, I've found the top 10 players for each role in each of the following "tiers":
