What’s included:
• Business understanding: predict players’ Overall rating.
• Cleaning & EDA: nulls, outliers, distributions, correlations.
• Preprocessing: ColumnTransformer with One-Hot for categoricals + StandardScaler for numerics (in a Pipeline to avoid leakage).
• Modeling: Baseline LinearRegression, plus Ridge/Lasso comparisons; metrics = R², MAE, RMSE.
• Real-time testing: Use your 10-player sheet (same template you have) → generate Predicted_Overall and save CSV.
