Cluster 4- Goalkeepers
Where We Left Off:
Goalkeepers: What makes them different?
This one is pretty self-explanatory. Cluster 4 is simply all the goalkeepers represented in the data. Ideally, I’d like to further group the goalies some other time, but for now, this will do. I’ll be skipping the “strengths” and “weaknesses” sections for this one, but will continue with notable players and young talents.
