I'm only bringing it up in case you and Sebastian are keeping a list of eventual CSV updates for this year or next. Ideally, with that information, we could convert the value of taking a penalty into a negative goal value based on a team's PK ability, and vice versa. Just figured I'd bring it up while I have it on my mind as I dig into the new CSV data.  |
Not consistently, a lot of the penalties are primarily, or even exclusively, driven by the ratings of the player taking the penalty so there's not necessarily a need to identify who the penalty was committed against. But we could add a little code to the engines to figure that out. Probably something for next year, though, particularly since it'll require some work on the classic engine.
