We apologise for any inconvenience.

At FBref we’re in the process of designing a Scouting Report feature that will show how good/not-so-good a player is (compared to their peers) in a number of categories. If you have a few minutes, we’d love your feedback about what to include.
We apologize if site performance is currently substandard on some pages. We are getting absolutely blasted by bots scraping our site.
How about adding some sleeps between requests?
