QUESTION
I am looking to a data science project where I will be able to sum up the fantasy football points by the college the players went to (e.g. Alabama has 56 active players in the NFL so I will go through a database and add up all of their fantasy points to compare with other schools).
I was looking at the website: https://fantasydata.com/nfl/fantasy-football-leaders?season=2020&seasontype=1&scope=1&subscope=1&aggregatescope=1&range=3
and I was going to use Beautiful Soup to scrape the rows of players and statistics and ultimately, fantasy football points.
However, I am having trouble figuring out how to extract the players' college alma mater. To do so, I would have to:
- Click each "players" name
- Scrape each and every profile of the hundreds of NFL players for one line "College"
- Place all of this information into its own column.
Any suggestions here?
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Dec-16 at 11:03There's no need for Selenium, or other headless, automated browsers. That's overkill.
If you take a look at your browser's network traffic, you'll notice that your browser makes a POST request to this REST API endpoint: https://fantasydata.com/NFL_FantasyStats/FantasyStats_Read
If the POST request is well-formed, the API responds with JSON, containing information about every single player. Normally, this information would be used to populate the DOM asynchronously using JavaScript. There's quite a lot of information there, but unfortunately, the college information isn't part of the JSON response. However, there is a field PlayerUrlString
, which is a relative-URL to a given player's profile page, which does contain the college name. So:
- Make a POST request to the API to get information about all players
For each player in the response JSON:
- Visit that player's profile
- Use BeautifulSoup to extract the college name from the current player's profile

QUESTION
User Experience
I am recent engineering (Not C.S.) graduate with basic proficiency in MATLAB. I have no prior experience with Python/Jupyter. I have scoured SO and google for help but cannot find a similar issue. The code for this project is based on the following article:
https://medium.com/@shahrezanjum/using-python-to-automate-fantasy-football-stats-in-madden-ff9020fc2d2d
Motivation
Madden is a NFL video game. In franchise mode, players can cooperatively play as different teams in the same league. Madden has the ability to output player statistics for this league as CSV files. CSV files are separate, and are organized in folders by week and by team. As such, this output format requires modification in order to perform data analysis.
See Madden output structure here
Problem Statement
The objective is to concatenate these CSVs into a single CSV file to facilitate data analysis.
Madden CSV column orders are not identical.
The code I have so far has two issues:
1)The values for the first column "defCatchAllowed" is missing ONLY for the first data frame.
2)The values for the column "fullName" is missing values for every data frame after the first.
Code Strategy
Unlike the code in the link, I see 3 objectives for the code:
- Find all CSV files for a given week.
- Fill in blank cells with a value of zero.
- Concatenate CSV files. (Concat can sort columns so different col orders for df's is ok.)
Here is the code that I have so far:
-Create DFs from CSV (starting with just 3 df, will add all teams when code works)
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Nov-30 at 02:09The core issue is having a disjoint set of columns across [df1,df2, df3]... and these need to be wrangled to a normalized set of columns? If this is not the problem, stop here.
Recommend one should define the norm set of columns
for downstream analysis. Choices are:
- drop unneccessary columns per df
- rename N diff columns into 1 normalized column name & format
- normalize all to common format
- categorize all
similiar
columns to unified identifiers... e.g. name + fullname -> playerID
Beyond this, one has to see specifics. Wrangling is messy.
