Here's the original viz:

WHAT WORKS WELL?
- A table is a simple way to display stats that serve the purpose of looking up values. That seems to be what the designer had in mind here. This viz isn't for comparing players.
- Being able to sort by the headers
- Including an image of the player; this helps those that are already familiar with them.
- Including links to the player's profile
WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED?
- Other than this being used to look up information, what purpose does it server? It merely a list of facts.
- There's no context for the numbers. How does a player rank amongst the team?
- It's visually unappealing.
- I can't find definitions for some of the stats. For example, what does "In Squad" mean? No clue!
WHAT I DID
I first thoughts about creating player cards with the stats over time, big numbers, etc. But the data was only for one season, so I had to scrap that idea.
Then I thought back to a viz by Andras Szesztai that I was shown last week. His viz is about NBA basketball team spending by season, and it includes stats like the lowest, highest, and average payroll. He then has a mark on the viz for the salary cap.
I took his concept and applied it to the team and player stats. I included the minimum, maximum, and average for the team for each stat (like Andras did for each season). I then included a dot for the player selected. This allows you to see how the play compares within the team as a whole. So I got to include a player card of sorts after all!
Lastly, I made it mobile friendly because it seemed to make more sense to scroll down the viz vs. laying them out in a grid.
