❔ Want to try predict the ballon d'or but not really sure where to start
I would like to make a program that uses statistics to try calculate the ballon d'or winner, i want to look at past winners, specifically at stats such as trophies won that year, goals scored etc and try calculate how important each is to wining the ballon d'or, for example calculating from past winners how much winning the world cup helps your chance of wining the ballon d'or. I then want to be able to give the program a list of 30 players and have it use the model to predict which one is most likely to win the award. Do you have any suggestions or models I could use to do something like this? I want to try using a regression model such as liner regression since I have learnt about it in school but i am not sure how I could use it for this?
