Interactive Visualization of 15 years of England’s Football Premier League – a non-competitive Contribution to Tableau’s “Interactive Sports Viz Contest”
Last week, Tableau announced a new visualization contest: The Tableau Interactive Sports “Viz” Contest.
Intrigued with the very attractive prices Tableau announced, I would have loved to contribute a workbook. Unfortunately, I am not allowed to, because the contest is open to US residents only.
If you are a regular reader of this blog, you may have noticed that I love using sports data for my examples. We had several visualizations (Tableau and/or Excel) of Football statistics and even one article using Baseball data:
- FIFA World Cup Statistics with Tableau
- FIFA World Cup Scorers Statistics with Tableau
- The History of FIFA World Cup Host Elections
- Football League Tables (Combine Tables and Charts on Excel Dashboards)
- MLB Salaries (An Underrated Chart Type: The Band Chart)
Since I am so into visualizing sports data, I decided to publish the workbook I would have contributed to the contest: a Tableau visualization of 15 years of historical data of the English Premier League.
Today’s article provides the workbook for direct interaction here or for download from Tableau Public. A follow-up post later this week will describe step-by-step tutorials of some of the most interesting techniques I used for the implementation.
