Player_Attributes,"Player_Attributes stores dated FIFA-derived snapshots of player skills linked to player_api_id/player_fifa_api_id, including overall rating, potential, preferred foot, attacking/defensive work rates, detailed outfield attributes, and goalkeeper metrics, typically scored 0–100. Each row represents a specific assessment date for a player."
League,"Stores football leagues, with a unique league ID, the league name, and a country_id linking each league to its associated country. Each row represents one league."
Team_Attributes,"Team_Attributes stores time-stamped snapshots of each team’s tactical profile, linked by team_api_id and team_fifa_api_id. It includes 1–100 ratings and categorical classes for build-up play, chance creation, and defensive setup (e.g., positioning, pressure, aggression, width, and defender line)."
Match,"Match stores one row per football match, including competition context (country, league, season, stage, date), participating teams and final score, starting lineups with player IDs and X/Y field positions, and detailed event logs (goals, shots on/off, fouls, cards, crosses, corners, possession). It also captures pre-match betting odds for home/draw/away outcomes from multiple bookmakers (e.g., Bet365, William Hill, Ladbrokes, etc.)."
