A proof-of-concept R package to help you find:. Read more in the accompanying blog post. This package is dependent on the excellent {worldfootballR} package by Jason Zivkovic, which helps fetch player data from Transfermarkt. [Insert gif of Kieran Dyer and Lee Bowyer fighting as Newcastle team mates]. You can install the package from GitHub. Example: fetch all players from all seasons of the English Premier League. This will take several minutes. From this, you can isolate all the team mates for a given player, or all the common team mates for several named players for the teams and season in which they played together. Sample from all the current and former team mates of a named player or players. Sampling is weighted by total playing time, so well-known players are more likely to arise. This is especially satisfying if they only have one player in common. In the spirit of the ‘pub quiz’ nature of this, there’s also an extremely proof-of-concept Shiny app available with open_colleagues_quiz(). You’ll need to install {shiny} and {shinyjs} from CRAN before you use it.
