Last week FIFA 19 was released. A good reason to jump into the stats of the 2018 version for the #SWDchallenge (I honestly confess that I am not a gamer). Looking for the 'hidden gems'. The potential wonderkids. Players who have the potential and ability to become the stars of tomorrow.
First, 17,929 profiles of players were screened. Next, the dataset is limited to every single player younger than 21 years. That are 3,255 players in total . Then, the current rating of an individual player is plotted on the x-axis. The potential rating of a given player on the y-axis. Every dot represents a single player. The size of the dot represents the growth margin. The bigger the dot the better a player could become. Finally the player are categorized by continent and prefered position on the pitch; goalkeeper, defender, midfielder or striker).
