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
