FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association) is a non-profit organization that describes itself as an international governing body of association football, futsal, and beach soccer. It is the highest governing body of association football.
We plan on introducing a Team Creation System, that allows players to use player's virtual characters in a customized team. But there are many attributes that make a great player, not to forget goalkeepers and non-goalkeepers have an entirely different set of attributes. Comparing more than 18000 players manually over 100+ attributes can be tedious and time-consuming.
Before diving deeper, it is necessary to lay out an upper-level analysis of some of the commonly interpreted attributes, which is the primary goal of this case study.
In the world of virtual football, not all players are created equal. Attributes such as speed, skill, and endurance play a crucial role in a player's performance. Furthermore, goalkeepers have an entirely different set of attributes compared to outfield players. To create a winning team, it's essential to understand these attributes and how they contribute to a player's effectiveness on the virtual pitch.

Our analysis encompasses the following key areas:
In-Depth Attribute Analysis: A comprehensive examination of player attributes, shedding light on their significance in virtual football.
Dimensionality Reduction: The use of advanced techniques like Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) to identify the most critical attributes for predicting player valuation.
Predictive Modeling: Application of supervised models to determine which attributes have the greatest impact on overall player ratings and valuation.
Match Outcome Predictions: Integration of historical data to predict match outcomes based on player ratings, team compositions, locations, and other factors.
Smart Player Selection: Identification of the most relevant attributes through analysis, enabling players to make informed decisions when building their dream teams.
