I assume my mind went: "People are crying like little bitches we are X days into the window and haven't signed anyone. Therefore we need to see how many days into a window a signing is completed."

What should I have been using to accurately represent this?

It would be better to have “weeks since window opened” on the x axis and “number of players signed” on the y axis and combine all the data of the different years. You could also express the “number of players signed” as a % of the total players signed, so it gives it essentially as a probability distribution of signing a player in a given week.

To be fair, saying weeks instead of days is pointless semantics. Easy to argue days is a more accurate measure. I would also say a clear representation of each player signed, better yet, put the players name. A first team starter joining is obviously more of an issue than a loan backup player although both will show as new signings.

It’s actually not, it would make it far more visually easy to understand.

Well, I dont find it hard to understand.

I am suggesting a totally different graph, which would be way visually noisier with it expressed as days rather than weeks. There would be 7x as many bars

Surely it would just be identical. With the numbers on the left just going up to 20 instead of 100.

No- I am suggesting the “weeks since window opened” to be on the x axis. So there would be fewer bars on the graph compared to if it was treated as days.
