Top 10 most attractive PL stars- Criteria for results
The results were produced based on the following criteria:-
- RantCasino undertook the task of coming out with a list of top 10 most attractive Premier League players of 2021.
- There were in-house entertainment experts who worked on extracting the pictures of every Premier League footballer for the 2021/22 season. They made use of the official Premier League players list for this. Front-facing headshots that had no face-coverings or headgears were the only ones to be considered for the task. Players without images of them from the official Premier League or their team’s official website were ruled out.
- In order to rank each player in terms of their attractiveness, the mathematical formula of the golden ratio was applied. Python Library was used to unearth different facial landmarks across the human face. On the basis of the golden ratio, the correct score should be calculated as close as possible to 1.61803398875.
- An in-house formula was created to obtain an approximation of the golden ratio for each one of the 301 analysed athlete’s facial features in accordance with facial landmarks using Python Library. The golden ratio formula was determined by utilizing the line distance between landmarking on particular facial features. The figured for line distance were then processed through the golden ratio formula for the whole face.
- Every player was given a percentage as final scores according to the facial landmarks data. The percentage would tell how close each individual athlete’s faces are to perfection- if the percentage is closer to 100% then the player is automatically more attractive and will eventually rank highly.
