The Ultimate Bundesliga 2021/22 Data Analysis

The international breaks are an odd period in the football calendar, offering respite for some, monotonous friendlies for others, and career-defining qualifiers for the rest. Even in the world of sports journalism, the international break can throw a shoe-horn in regular plans, allowing individuals like myself to deviate from the normal schedule, and refine some of my journalistic skills to make the articles and coverage I present even more entertaining. 

So, whilst you may have become accustomed to reading my player profiles or tactical analysis on BTL, today I’m switching it up a bit with a Bundesliga data analysis. With a basic knowledge of Tableau (largely thanks to Ninad Barbadikar’s fantastic tutorials), I present to you a very modest data analysis that looks to provide insight into the stylistic themes, tactical strategies and key performers in the 2021-22 Bundesliga!

Feedback and recommendations would be massively appreciated in today's article, so if you’re a data analysis expert, or just a fan looking for some jovial reading on a Saturday morning, please let me know on twitter which visuals you enjoyed, which you were confused about on, and any, and all ways I could improve.
