Hi
I'm looking for a custom visual that can visualise player data from Soccer/football games.
I both have data about the players movement on the pitch (X and Y coordinates), but also line-ups an posisiotns. First of all I need inspiration on haow to visualise the following data:
- Player name
- Player no.
- Player position (GK, CD, CM, LM, RW CF etc.)
- Position koordinates (x and y)
- Role (Goalkeeper, Defence, Midfield, forward)
- In start line-up (true/false)
Do any of you have an idea to how I best visualise these data? Is a scatter chart the way to go? Can I download a custom visiual that can help me?
I have attached a picture that illustrates the data I have available and how I have tried to visualise it.
I hope to get inspiration so I can move forward in my dashboard.
Tanks

I haven't had time to work that much on it. However i managed to build a visualisation using the standard scatterplot.
Are you looking for insparation, or do you have ideas to make it better?
