Good stuff, Martin! Will absolutely give Polars a try. The logic reminds me a bit about SQL language actually. Looks perfect if you know what you want to analyze from the get go. Would love to see more advanced examples with Polars - for example building a player ranking or percentiles calculations that makes up a radar chart 💯 Maybe something we could look into together?
Yep I'm with Martin on that comment about Polar looking nicer! I'm on a learning journey now of working through Data camp exercises and it's all about pandas... I think this post length is just right too. Combining two of my favourite things, data and Arsenal! Do you know if there are equivalent datasets for Arsenal Women?

Thank you, Trym.
Yes it definitely does. The verbs are so expressive. I find more resemblance with R’s tidyverse but I guess everyone has his own thing 😀
Great idea! Let’s think of something!

Thank you for the feedback, Dewi. Polars is the future :)
As for the Arsenal women datasets, you can check out Statsbomb's free datasets: https://github.com/statsbomb/open-data?tab=readme-ov-file
There should be detailed data for the FA Women's Super League for 3 seasons (18/19 - 20/21) and data for the last two Euro and World cups.
Nice, thank you!
Polars looks way more intuitive. You’ve convinced me to try it out.
It's the chaining and the verbs. Love it :)
