fotmob Helper Functions

There are currently no helper functions for fotmob functions.


League Season-Level Data

fotmob has data for just about every league that you can think of, including all of the Big 5 leagues.

Team Stats

Use fotmob_get_season_stats to retrieve values for a specified stat, season, and league. See the docs for the function for a complete list of stat_names. Note that some stats are only available for either team or player, and that some names are different for teams and players (e.g. "Expected goals" for "team" and "Expected goals (xG)" for "player").

epl_team_xg_2021 <- fotmob_get_season_stats(
  country = "ENG",
  league_name = "Premier League",
  season_name = "2020/2021",
  stat_name = "Expected goals",
  team_or_player = "team"
)

epl_team_xg_2021 %>%
  dplyr::select(
    league_id,
    league_name,
    season_id,
    season_name,
    team_id,
    team_name = participant_name,
    matches_played,
    xg = stat_value,
    g = sub_stat_value
  ) %>%
  dplyr::glimpse()

If you know the league_id, you can use it instead of passing in values for country and league_name.

You can retrieve data for multiple leagues, seasons, or stat types at the same time.

)

## 2 leagues x 20 teams x 2 seasons x 2 stats = 160 rows

International tournament data can be retrieved.

You can potentially get cup data for leagues in the future, although at this time Fotmob does not have this data for most leagues, seasons, or stats.

## Not run to avoid error.
fotmob_get_season_stats(
  league_id = 47,
  season_name = "2020/2021",
  stat_name = "Expected goals",
  team_or_player = "team",
  stat_league_name = "FA Cup"
)

At this time, only one team_or_player can be retrieved at a time.

Player Stats

You can also use fotmob_get_season_stats to retrieve stats for players.

epl_player_xg_2021 <- fotmob_get_season_stats(
  country = "ENG",
  league_name = "Premier League",
  season = "2020/2021",
  stat_name = "Expected goals (xG)",
  team_or_player = "player"
)

epl_player_xg_2021 %>%
  dplyr::select(
    league_id,
    league_name,
    season_id,
    season_name,
    team_id,
    ## NOTE: particiant_id is a typo on behalf of fotmob! We leave it as is.
    player_id = particiant_id,
    player_name = participant_name,

Match Results

Matches for one or multiple leagues can be retrieved with fotmob_get_league_matches. Currently only the current season’s matches can be retrieved.

  league_name = c("Premier League", "LaLiga")
)

fotmob also lists data for all leagues by date. Use fotmob_get_matches_by_date to select matches occurring on specific day(s) and filter down to the league(s) that you care about.

Match-Level Data

Match Shooting Locations

To get shooting locations for an individual match along with expected goals (xG), expected goals on target (xGoT), etc., use the fotmob_get_match_details() function.

There is one nested element in the returned data.frame for on_goal_shot. As with the nested elements returned by fotmob_get_matches_by_date, columns in nested elements have camel case names. (Here, it’s only zoomRatio.)

NOTE: The below code block depends on tidyr 1.2.0

match_shots %>%
  dplyr::select(on_goal_shot) %>%
  tidyr::unnest_wider(
    on_goal_shot
  )
#> # A tibble: 43 × 3
#>        x      y zoomRatio
#>    <dbl>  <dbl>     <dbl>
#>  1 0.839 0.323      1    
#>  2 0.778 0.323      1    
#>  3 1.32  0.0968     1    
#>  4 2     0.0158     0.112
#>  5 1.38  0.677      0.461
#>  6 1.14  0.323      1    
#>  7 1.14  0.323      1    
#>  8 0     0.0255     0.181
#>  9 1.26  0.216      1    
#> 10 0.476 0.0221     1    
#> # … with 33 more rows

Be very careful with interpreting x and y from on_goal_shot. They’re not on the same scale as x and y in the top-level of the result returned from fotmob_get_match_details!

You can also extract players from matches with the fotmob_get_match_players() function.
