How to create a football scatter plot
FBPlot makes it easy to build scatter plots that are both analytical and publishable. In a few steps—Select Data → Customise → Appearance → Export—you can compare players across two performance dimensions while adding a third layer of insight through bubble size. The standout capability is flexibility: you can assign multiple metrics to each axis (FBPlot sums them to create a single X and Y value), which means you can define your own composite measures like Goal Impact or Chance Creation without spreadsheets. Then, you can scale bubble radius by any metric (Key Passes, xA, Minutes, Progressive Carries) to reveal context and separate true outliers from statistical noise. Finally, the Appearance controls let you style the chart for different audiences—clean and restrained for scouting reports, contextual and eye-catching for media—so every scatter plot can match the brand and format of the person using it.
