Missing player in players file
Hello, while working with set I noticed, that Norwich City, Marquinhos (id = 668268) is missing in players table. I think there might be an issue with players of the same name. Or at least with this specyfic player.
Hey @wsciekly-kredens. Thanks for raising the issue.
The reason why Marquinhos is not in the players asset is that Norwich City is now a club from the second league. It was part of premier league last season, that's why the team and the players of that season are captured in the datasets but new players from this season are not.
While I'd love to scrape clubs down to the second tier it's not practical for me to do so at the moment, so I have to cap the scraping to first tier only. I think this probably can be more clearly stated in the docs. I'll make sure to add a disclaimer about it.
