This package is designed to allow users to extract various world football results and player statistics from the following popular football (soccer) data sites:
You can install the CRAN version of worldfootballR with:

This vignette will cover the functions to extract data from FBref.com.
To be able to join data player between FBref and Transfermarkt, player_dictionary_mapping() has been created. There are over 6,100 players who have been listed for teams in the Big 5 Euro leagues on FBref since the start of the 2017-18 seasons, with all of these mapped together. This is expected to be updated and grow over time. The raw data is stored here

To extract the URL of any country’s league(s) (provided fbref have data for the league), use the fb_league_urls() function.
This function also accepts a tier argument. for first-tier leagues, select ‘1st’, for second-tier select ‘2nd’ and so on.
A fill list of countries available can be found in the worldfootballR_data repository and can be found here.
fb_league_urls(country = "ENG", gender = "M", season_end_year = 2021, tier = '2nd')To get a list of URLs for each team in a particular season, the fb_teams_urls() function can be used:
fb_teams_urls("https://fbref.com/en/comps/9/Premier-League-Stats")To get a list of player URLs for a particular team, the fb_player_urls() function can be used. The results of this output can be passed through to the player season stat functions fb_player_season_stats() and fb_player_scouting_report().
fb_player_urls("https://fbref.com/en/squads/fd962109/Fulham-Stats")To get the match URLs needed to pass in to some of the match-level functions below, get_match_urls() can be used:
epl_2021_urls <- get_match_urls(country = "ENG", gender = "M", season_end_year = 2021, tier="1st")This section will cover the functions to aid in the extraction of season team statistics.
The get_season_team_stats function allows the user to return a data frame of different stat types for all teams in Domestic leagues here.
Note, some stats may not be available for all leagues. The big five European leagues should have all of these stats, but for those leagues, it’s more efficient to use fb_big5_advanced_season_stats().
The following stat types can be selected:

The stat types available for this function are below:
The function also accepts a season or seasons and whether you want data for the player, or team.
Note that when selecting team_or_player="team", results will be returned for both the team’s for and against stats. To filter on this, use the Team_or_Opponent column in the resulting data frame, selecting ‘team’ if you want the team’s for stats, or ‘opponent’ if you want the team’s against stats.

# epl_2021_team_results <- get_team_match_results(team_url = team_urls)To be able to get full match logs for all available stat types for each team(s) season, the fb_team_match_log_stats() function can be used.
Available stat types are below. Note, not all of the listed stat types are available for all teams, and for teams where they are, there still may be gaps in the resulting data frame as not all competitions participated in will have the stat available:
# can do it for one team:

shooting_logs <- fb_team_match_log_stats(team_urls = urls, stat_type = "shooting")This section will cover the functions available to aid in the extraction of player season data.
The examples provided below in a lot of cases have the actual url (player or team) passed to them, however the suite of fbref helper functions outlined in this helpers vignette could also be used.
The fb_player_scouting_report() function takes in two inputs;
player_url - the URL of the player’s main pagepos_versus which can return the player’s comparison against players in their “primary”, OR “secondary” positionand returns the full scouting report for the player selected.
As of version 0.3.6, the function now returns the scouting report of ALL available periods, not just the “Last 365 Days”. As a result, there is now an additional column called scouting_period. This column should be used to filter out the period/season you want the scouting report for:
# TO GET THE LAST 365 DAYS REPORT:
scout <- fb_player_scouting_report(player_url = "https://fbref.com/en/players/d70ce98e/Lionel-Messi",
pos_versus = "primary") %>%
