Maybe one color per country would make things more clearly. Many people go through statistics for a specific country and color coding them would help.

Nice, but keep the same color/country for consistency

why would you change the nations colours on each graph?

Hardly any Dutch players in La Liga is wild, considering the legacy Cruijff built.

This is far less Brazilians than I would have expected. How are there sp.few brazilians?!

Seems neither New World Latins or Ye Olde Worlde Latins favor playing in Germany. Or is it the Germans who dont favor Latins?
tatakae1226 on
Yeah, I didn’t think much about color consistency on this one just assigned colors sequentially. Thanks for pointing that out! I’ll make sure to keep colors consistent across countries in future charts. Appreciate the feedback

its actually interesting that Spain and France import so many players from their former colonies while England doesn’t at all.
Dritias on
I fully agree with every other comment suggesting color consistency between graph.
And the only league where France is not the country with the most non-native players is La Liga, where Argentina has 3 more players ? Pretty impressive.
Homerbola92 on
It’s really something that in order to stay competitive every league but La Liga need to get talent abroad.
SteelyLan on
Would love to see it as numbers of players in the league per inhabitants in the respective country.

So France is Unusually productive in top talent? And Germany and Italy has less top talent that almost never leaves their home country?

This sub should be renamed into ‘DataCouldBeBeautiful’. Because these graphs are really badly done.

Pretty weird we have so many Dutch players in England but so little in Germany. I think top dutch players dont see the Bundesliga as a big step forwards but thats bs in my opinion

And now all of them in one

I thought Scottish, Welsh and Irish might have a bit more representation in the Premier League.

It’d be great if you add a last chart with the sum of all players. I assume French players are the most but it’d be nice to confirm

when hand-egg is called merican football, why don´t you just say international hand-egg instead of soccer?

Your Color Code is the Same as the rating and makes this visualisation objectively worse.

Definitely a simple way to show all these on one slide

I see France is popular in a lot of leagues

France is truly a talent producing powerhouse. Not only are they a serious exporter of their own players, but most of those players from Senegal, Ivory Coast, Mali etc, probably went through the French system.
ThePhantomBacon on
What’s the source for this data? I’m not saying it’s unbelievable, but Spain have nearly twice as many domestic players as any other league, and the total number of players on the graph is over the 500 players that would be officially registered in a season (576).
It’s possible since La Liga allow players to play without registration under certain conditions, but when the Premier League has 436/500 possible players on this chart, it makes me wonder whether the charts are comparing apples to apples

The Netherlands used to have a strong presence in La Liga, specifically Barcelona. Now they’re almost absent except for De Jong.
anewlo on
There are about 20 Scottish players (fewer but still plenty Irish and Welsh players) in the Premier League
bozhodimitrov on
Damn, Belgium is in every league, interesting
BeigianBio on
I’m completely ignorant about football, but I’m surprised that there are less than 13 each of Scottish or Welsh players in the Premier League.

I wonder why Germany has the most Americans? Didn’t realize that many went overseas to play
ghillerd on
Why did you pick 140 as the cutoff point?
_Matius_ on
Tell me if I am wrong, but I believe that if Spanish players would be more willing to play outside Spain, they would compete with France for 2nd place in every league. It’s amazing to see so high percentage of players being local.
Another reason could be that Spanish clubs are not very rich and there are very tight rules in La Liga so they are kinds forced to use more native players.
mihaicostake on
Do we know why La Liga has the highest percentage of its country’s nationality compared to other leagues?
Interesting_Ad6562 on
Why would you graph the number of players instead of the percentages?
This makes the graph part utterly useless, when the whole point is comparing ratios.
The colors are just the icing on the cake.
Bighorn21 on
Would be cool to see a combined graph as well, total of all 5 leagues.
chux4w on
So that leaves 33.2% of Premier League players, around 200, from other countries in batches of no more than 12. That’s a lot. There must be dozens of single representatives, like Khusanov from Uzbekistan.
VeridionData on
interesting how Spaniards are third in Serie A, but Italian players are not making the top 10 in La Liga
and now I realize that I can’t remember any good Italian player that played in la liga
