Thanks for raising this. From a quick observation, this is an error is from the code that I took from Parth Athale's 'Scrape-FBref-data' library here: https://github.com/parth1902/Scrape-FBref-data. This is most likely due to changes in the FBref website breaking the scraper.

I will take a look to see if Parth has updated his code to fix this. Thanks
