soccerShotmap: Draw an individual, team, or two team shotmap using StatsBomb...

In JoGall/soccermatics: Visualise football (soccer) tracking and event data

Description

If df contains two teams, draws a shotmap of each team at either end of a full pitch. If df contains one or more players from a single team, draws a vertical half pitch. Currently only works with StatsBomb data but compatability with other (non-StatsBomb) shot data will be added soon.

Usage

soccerShotmap(
  df,
  lengthPitch = 105,
  widthPitch = 68,
  homeTeam = NULL,
  adj = TRUE,
  n_players = 0,
  size_lim = c(2, 15),
  title = NULL,
  subtitle = NULL,
  theme = c("light", "dark", "grey", "grass")
)

Arguments

df	dataframe containing x,y-coordinates of player passes
lengthPitch, widthPitch	length and width of pitch, in metres
homeTeam	if df contains two teams, the name of the home team to be displayed on the left hand side of the pitch. If NULL, infers home team as the team of the first event in df.
adj	adjust xG using conditional probability to account for multiple shots per possession
n_players	number of highest xG players to display
size_lim	minimum and maximum size of points, c(min, max)
title, subtitle	optional, adds title and subtitle to half pitch plot. Title defaults to scoreline and team identity when two teams are defined in df.
theme	draws a light, dark, grey, or grass coloured pitch with appropriate point colours

Value

a ggplot object

Examples

data(statsbomb)

# shot map of two teams on full pitch
statsbomb %>%
  soccerTransform(method='statsbomb') %>% 
  soccerShotmap(theme = "gray")

# shot map of one player on half pitch
statsbomb %>% 
  dplyr::filter(player.name == "Antoine Griezmann") %>% 
  soccerTransform(method='statsbomb') %>% 
  soccerShotmap(theme = "grass",
                title = "Antoine Griezmann", 
                subtitle = "vs. Argentina, World Cup 2018")
