(CB) Centre Back, (LB) Left Back, (RB) Right Back, (CDM) Centre Defence Midfielder, (CM) Centre Midfielder, (LM) Left Midfielder, (RM) Right Midfielder, (CAM) Centre Attack Midfielder, (LW) Left Wing, (RW) Right Wing, (ST) Striker Interesting to notice that I didn't round the number, the weights are actually pretty round numbers. For example, the “Dribbling” score is a combination of Agility (10%), Balance (5%), Reactions (5%), Ball Control (30%) and Dribbling (50%). The result is the number in black next to each skill. To validate the aggregation, I used a regression to understand the weight of each metric. The advantage of the aggregation is the fact that simplifies the analysis and the usage in the game because instead of tracking many numbers, I just needed to track six. The numbers in green/yellow/red are actual numbers that quantifies his skill in each criteria. For example, in the following image, we can see Neymar's skill information. Initially I was looking in the 28 skill metrics, however, quickly I notice that the 6 general skill metrics are an aggregation on the 28. I started my analysis by performing some exploratory data analysis to understand what are the factors that influence a player’s overall rating and potential. My objective was to find players with a good overall rating and specially good potential.

#Formation fifa 16 movie
In the "Moneyball" movie there is a scene where the Billy Beane says to the scouters: "The problem we're trying to solve is that there are rich teams and there are poor teams. I was pretty confident that with the following team I could win any championship.Īt that time I realized I was facing the "Moneyball problem". Winning the Champions League is not hard, you just need the right team. In this blog post, I described my new challenge with FIFA 16: "Win the Champions League with Accrington Stanley". Update: the result of the challenge I presented last year at the MTL Data meetup. actually you should play with Portsmouth."

Then he said, "You should play with a team from the fourth division. I answer saying I would select a team from the third division. In the next day I told him, proudly, that the EPL was also too easy and he said that if I wanted a challenge I should play with a team from the second division. Again, after some trades, I won the EPL and the Champions League. That night I used the same approach, but now with Chelsea. Next day, I explain to him about my experience and he said that La Liga is actually too easy and I should try the English Premier League (EPL). I selected Barcelona, played few seasons (simulating all the games), did some trades and I won La Liga and the Champions League. After few weeks I decided to give it a try. From that day, he decided to convince me to play Career Mode, and started asking me almost everyday. I want to play the real game and not play as a manager". Last year, I was talking with a friend about the game and he asked me if I was playing Career Mode.
