How to use
Player Explorer
This page explains the data embeded in Player Card and how to use each component in Player Explorer page.
Player Card
Player Card is the main way to display player statistics in this app. It is used in Player Explorer Grid view and Team Planner. The following describes the anatomy of a Player Card.
Player Data
Player data is scraped from FPL and Understat which is updated once a day around 02:00 AM - 03:00 AM GMT+0.
Search for players
Filtering
Player Search Bar supports free text search which will do fuzzy search on players' full name hence if you typed "Paul", the search results would show (Paul) Pogba and (Paul) Dummett.
It also supports search query syntax like when you do email search. For example, if you want to specifically find a player based on their name FPL page you can use field search name
like shown below:
id
- FPL IDname
- FPL web namecost
- FPL player's cost rangeposition
- FPL positon (FWD, MID, DEF, GKP)team
- FPL short team name (e.g. MUN, LIV, MCI)
You can also do field keyword combination to expand your search results, for example, if you want to search for players from Manchester United OR Liverpool you can do the following:
Or if you want to narrow down your search result you could append anoter field search query, for example, the following will show Manchester United midfield players
Sorting
You can sort the results by using the dropdown besides the search text box or the menu button on each table header column if you are on Table view mode.
Display mode
You can choose between three display modes: Grid, Table and Chart, each of which shows slightly different data to fit their visualisation.
- Grid consists of the most important player statistics that focuses on the recency and player form to give you a quick glance of how a player has been performed and what their next opponents are.
- Table shows more detailed statistics for each player to give your the overall player profile if you decide to dig deeper in each player performance.
- Chart shows alternative visualisation that aims to help you compare between different players easier.
