Using Python to scrape some basic player information from www.premierleague.com and then use Pandas to analyse said data. Note : My understanding is the squad data on this site can change at any time so your results might be different

Improvement : Calculate age to finer degree than just years

The was developed in Jupyter Notebook and this walkthrough willl assume you are doing the same

Once you have ran the scraping

original = pd.DataFrame(playersList) # Convert the data scraped into a Pandas DataFrame 

original.to_csv('premiershipplayers.csv') # Keep a back up of the data to save time later if required 

df2 = original.copy() # Working copy of the DataFrame (just in case) 


df2.info()
