- rin-hairie for adding master team lists and merge scripts
- ergest for adding merged_gw.csv files for 2016-17 and 2017-18 seasons
- BDooley11 for providing top managers script
- speeder1987 for providing 2018/19 fixtures.csv file
- ravgeetdhillon for github actions automation for data update

- SaintJuniper for id-dictionary update for the 21-22 season
The data folder contains the data from past seasons as well as the current season. It is structured as follows:
- season/cleaned_players.csv : The overview stats for the season
- season/gws/gw_number.csv : GW-specific stats for the particular season
- season/gws/merged_gws.csv : GW-by-GW stats for each player in a single file
- season/players/player_name/gws.csv : GW-by-GW stats for that specific player
- season/players/player_name/history.csv : Prior seasons history stats for that specific player.
You can access data files within this repository programmatically using Python and the pandas library. Below is an example using the data/2023-24/gws/merged_gw.csv file. Similar methods can be applied to other data files in the repository. Note this is using the raw URL for direct file access, bypassing the GitHub UI.
import pandas as pd
# URL of the CSV file (example)
url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vaastav/Fantasy-Premier-League/master/data/2023-24/gws/merged_gw.csv"
# Read the CSV file into a pandas DataFrame
df = pd.read_csv(url)In players_raw.csv, element_type is the field that corresponds to the position. 1 = GK 2 = DEF 3 = MID 4 = FWD
- GW35 expected points data is wrong (all values are 0).
- If you feel like there is some data that is missing which you would like to see, then please feel free to create a PR or create an issue highlighting what is missing and what you would like to be added
- If you have access to old data (pre-2016) then please feel free to create Pull Requests adding the data to the repo or create an issue with links to old data and I will add them myself.
If you use data from here for your website or blog posts, then I would humbly request that you please add a link back to this repo as the data source (and I would in turn add a link to your post/site as a notable usage of this repo).
You can download the data for your team by executing the following steps:
python teams_scraper.py <team_id>
#Eg: python teams_scraper.py 4582
This will create a new folder called "team_<team_id>_data18-19" with individual files of all the important data
