Creating Pizza Plots for Football Data
This document will give instructions on how to create Pizza Plots to analyse Football Data, in specific player data. These Pizza Plots are great for analysis because they immediately compare the variables that you are analyzing with the rest of the players or teams from the season that you are analyzing. It is a very useful tool for comparisons.
Firstly load the required libraries:
devtools::install_github("JaseZiv/worldfootballR")## Skipping install of 'worldfootballR' from a github remote, the SHA1 (dc489beb) has not changed since last install.
## Use `force = TRUE` to force installationlibrary(worldfootballR)
devtools::install_github("abhiamishra/ggshakeR")## Skipping install of 'ggshakeR' from a github remote, the SHA1 (51b7c2df) has not changed since last install.
## Use `force = TRUE` to force installationlibrary(ggshakeR)

## ✖ dplyr::lag() masks stats::lag()
## ℹ Use the conflicted package (<http://conflicted.r-lib.org/>) to force all conflicts to become errorsAcquire Desired Player URL
For this example we are going to be looking at the Albanian striker Armando Broja
## This function grabs Armando Broja's stats from the FbRef website and creates a data frame with it.
## To gather the statistics, go to the FbRef website, look up the desired player you want to look at and copy the url and paste it in the code below
Armando_Broja <- fb_player_scouting_report("https://fbref.com/en/players/97220da2/Armando-Broja",
pos_versus = "primary")Now you have a database that has all of Armando Broja statistics since the beginning of his career.
However, all the statistics aren’t very useful for analysis so let’s filter down to only look at 1 season, in specific 2021-2022 when he was playing at Southampton
Filter Database to select specific season
Firstly, let’s create an index in the database to help us in the future with our plot creation.
#Create an index for Armando_Broja
Armando_Broja$index <- 1:nrow(Armando_Broja)Now let’s actually filter the database
Armando_Broja %>% filter(scouting_period == "2021-2022 Premier League")## Player Versus StatGroup

Let’s have a look at some statistics combinations from the database
Filter Database to select specific variables
Armando_Broja_filter <- Armando_Broja[c(151,152,153,154,249,250,251,252,253,254,237,238,217,229),]Now that we have selected our variables, let’s actually plot Armando’s statistics in a pizza plot
Pizza Plot
#Pizza Plot for Armando Broja
plot_pizza(data = Armando_Broja_filter, #load the database
type = "single",
template = "outfielder",
color_possession = "#41ab5d", #change color of the stat type
color_attack = "#fec44f",
color_defense = "#de2d26",
season = "2021-2022 Premier League", #You can filter through different seasons
theme = "white") #You can filter through different themes
As you can see from the plot above, some of the variables that we selected aren’t actually appearing in the pizza plot, that is because we are using the given template that the function has given us.
To actually customize it and use the variables that we want to view, we have to change the template of the function to “custom”.
plot_pizza(data = Armando_Broja_filter, #load the database
type = "single",
template = "custom",
color_possession = "#41ab5d", #change color of the stat type
color_attack = "#fec44f",
color_defense = "#de2d26",
season = "2021-2022 Premier League", #You can filter through different seasons
theme = "white") #You can filter through different themes
