A statistical data analysis to find the best shooters from Outside the box [Jan 11, 2021]

Some players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Lionel Messi, Philippe Countinho, Kevin De Bruyne are all known to shoot well from outside the box. I did a statistical data analysis to find out which other players are good at shooting from outside the box. To do this analysis, I used the data from understat to find out which players from Europe's top 5 leagues are good at shooting from outside the box.

You can read the full analysis here.

Note: This project could be expanded more and that is something I will be doing soon.

Some of the visuals created for this analysis below:
