Hi All...
This is a fun project i'm trying to put together
I'm trying to get data from this website
http://www.premierleague.com/page/Statistics
This is a page with statistics for fantasy football in the UK
N.B. there is no data there for this season as it starts tomorrow but you can see if you look back at 2009/2010 season
Basically what I'm trying to do is take a weekly shot of the stats
top scorers
appearances
assists
etc
tallest
shortest!!!???
This lists top 20 scorers for given stat
You can press next to view stats for next 20 players
and so on for every possible player
If I take a weekly shot then I can deduce actual weekly scores for all players
With all this information I can do some data mining and produce some intersting trend analysis etc...
Not really all I want is any kind of an edge to win the league against my mates
So the question is...
Can anyone devise a way of scraping (I think thats the terminology) the information from the website
I'll share my winnings with the best solution (If I win that is)
