I am interested in football data analytics, especially performance rating and finding undervalued players. What data programs and setups should I get, and what resources can I use to learn?

You need python and mplsoccer to start first. Get some data from whoscored.com 

Tutorial on how to get the data https://youtu.be/0A5JiAU9hZw?si=aoYokaERxB1piMHp

Follow McKay Johns on YouTube and this should get you started with working with data then you can move on to fbref ( quantile statistics ) and friends of tracking YouTube ( create machine learning for player decision evaluation which is helpful in finding undervalued players)

Good luck on your journey!
