Arsenal’s worst ever Premier League start

About Makeover Monday

MakeoverMonday is a social data project: “Each week we post a link to a chart, and its data, and then you rework the chart. Maybe you retell the story more effectively, or find a new story in the data. We’re curious to see the different approaches you all take. Whether it’s a simple bar chart or an elaborate infographic, we encourage everyone of all skills to partake. Together we can have broader conversations about and with data.”

Starting from Jan 08, 2018, I decided to put aside one hour on Monday weekly to create some visualization and find some insights from the data.

The datasets are published each week at: MakeoverMonday Datasets.

Makeover Monday 20201221

This week’s dataset is about Arsenal’s performance in Premier League since season 1992/93. The original viz is pretty clear and straightforward – it shows the historical trend, with a historical average, and current season highlighted.

My Visualization

I have very limited knowledge in sports, so I have to google many of the stats… So I ended up picking 6 stats that seems easist to understand for me :) I highlighted best season, worst season, and current season.

Insights

• Though the season has not ended yet (I believe?), for many of the metrics, current season performance is the worst or second-worst in the history for Arsenal…
• Also it seems to me the last season was a tough one as well with four of the six metrics appear to be historically low, excluding the current one.
