Man U…so much money spent so little to show for it.
Great visual except for the winner icon. If you want to stick with the dots they should be the same colour as the line graph. 2016 and 2023 require zooming in and 2021 is virtually impossible to tell.
looking at net spend in isolation can give you some but not always all of the picture, Liverpool wages are far higher than some of the others which evens it a bit, but regardless which way you paint it that is shocking from Man Utd
As long as ‘panem et circenses’ works so well in the UK, this will go on but this to me is ridiculous looking at overall economic data.
There is no reason to set splines between the points. It’s very misleading
Nice work! I’m just curious what’s happening with your lines decreasing in a cumulative graph? I think it’s because you used a smoothing model?
I do find “transfer fees” a bit misleading when not paired with player wages.
A club can easily build a world class squad while paying zero transfer fees if they pay enough wages
