Weekly Roundup 03.23.2025

Welcome back to another SportsVizSunday round up. So my sporting highlight to the week definitely was this:

A Luke Littler 9 darter in the Premier League against MVG.

But I think some sports fans might say they had a different favourite moment including Joseph. Joseph celebrates his first (and hopefully not last!) SportsVizSunday entry in style with a viz focussed on the wait for success. Look at the history and position for Newcastle in the various cups and leagues below.

This week was the launch of the Chelsea FC Vizathon. Prizes up for grabs, and welcome all individuals from all backgrounds. Use the data provided or make your own. The team are excited to see what you all come up with!

Take a look at the difference in playing style by Gareth Southgate and Thomas Tuchel. It seems the media want us to disregard what a great job Southgate did, and hopes the new creative way of playing under Tuchel is the answer to bringing home a trophy in future years.

You can read more about it at the analyst.

In the F1 world I came across Akshana trying to predict the winner of the Australian Grand Prix. Its on Linkedin. You can find the post below (sorry doesnt allow for embedding!)

Tableau Conference is upon us soon, and a major part of that is the vizzies.

We try recognise weekly community members in the data community for their contributions to sport, and a bulk of that comes from the Tableau community - We would love for you to nominate your peers for some of the vizzies! Take a look at the different prize categories.

Have a good rest of the weekend,
