Week 6 · Day 5 — PROJECT: The Player Rating Model

Week 6: "The Scout" | Day 5 of 5 — PROJECT DAY 🏆 Theme: Build a complete ML pipeline that rates players 1–100, then compare to real-world ratings

The Mission

Real scouting platforms (FIFA, WhoScored, Sofascore) assign players numerical ratings. Today you build your own.

Goal: Train an ML model that takes raw stats and outputs a rating from 1–100. Then compare your AI ratings against a set of "real" human-assigned ratings.

If your model disagrees with the human raters significantly, that's interesting data — either the human was wrong, or you're missing a stat the human could see.

This is exactly how professional analytics teams work.
