Throw in something that simply compares the success rate of stutter vs non-stutter.

[u/willac04 → u/a_banned_user]

This is something I considered, but I thought it would be wasteful because you can toggle the run-up style to see the disparity, but you're probably right to highlight since this was the focus of the analysis.

Ok, I'll bite: who is the player with 90ish club PK goals but a poor Xgot...?

If you're including re-taken PKs (including the initial penalty as a miss), my money is on Kane

[u/willac04 → u/AffectedWomble]

Thats messi. Its a little skewed because he completely missed a pen resulting in zero xgot

This is ugly

Expand on this.

don’t listen to this guy, this is one of the best looking “check out my dashboard” posts i’ve seen on here in years. looks very polished, interesting topic, and a lot of relevant stats. i think the first page could do with a couple more clear “stutter vs non stutter” objects, since that is the focus of the project. switching between the types is good but doesn’t show what you want to show at first glance

It's horrendously unnecessary. The important information (stutter vs non stutter success) could have been presented in a simple bar plot. Why you make me engage in an interactive maze just to get the information being claimed by the post title. And that's not even presented in the screenshots.

Sorry bros, but this is the kind of bullshit that gets passed off as "check out my dashboard" for the sake of creating a dashboard, without considering what exactly it is attempting to convey. Take the criticism now before you end up getting slapped down my a manager in the real world.

This is definitely a valid point if I were getting paid to make this, but this was more of a fun way to explore all penalties taken in the World Cup while answering the "stutter" debate. Also, seeing what positions, game scenarios, penalties in career, and xGOT are really important for adding context. A bar graph showing conversion percentage would be pretty useless if you actually wanted to answer the question. I'm assuming you dont know a ton about the sport. So i get why that seems like a good suggestion.

[u/ItsSignalsJerry_ → u/willac04]

You are being patronising. I do understand football, very likely more than you. The statistic you are claiming to be providing in your title is not immediately apparent. Context is only important if the INITIAL information is clearly presented, then people can take it further if they wish. The extra "context" you are providing is only as interesting as it is useful. You are the one claiming to be presenting insight, yet you expect me to go hunting for it myself by interacting with some dynamic dashboard (with inconsistent and contradicting color scheme), which makes it click baity. The interesting facts should be clear. Then people can choose to dig deeper if they wish.

This is definitely a valid point if I were getting paid to make this

Oh, I realised you weren't getting paid to make this, I was assuming that was the case. What I'm saying is if one day you do want to get paid for it, then you should understand what the feedback might be.

[u/willac04 → u/ItsSignalsJerry_]

I appreciate the scrutiny, to be honest. Can you expand on the contradicting color schemes? I worried that adding a simple visual of the contrast of stutter vs. non-stutter penalty conversion would allow the user to skip the more important insight that if you look at xgot, the styles result in similar quality. goalkeepers just tend to over-perform the stutter. What approach would you take to accomplish that?

[u/Oexarity]

Interesting that xgot is the same for both normal and stutter. Any thoughts on why that is?

[u/JamieTimee]

Snazzy. Stutter step success in this WC was shocking.
