PremBackYard

PremBackYard is a Spring Boot web application that showcases Premier League player data stored in a PostgreSQL database. The application provides filtering options to view players based on their position, nation, and team. It also displays relevant player statistics such as matches played, minutes played, goals, assists, and more.

Motivation

The love of football drove me to create this application. As a Fantasy Premier League player, I wanted an easy way to evaluate player statistics and see whose stats look the best for getting into my squad and maximizing my points. This app allows me to filter and compare players based on key statistics and make informed decisions for my fantasy team.
