FBRef - Player ID - Duplicate IDs

[kidshiva]

Hello,

Running the fb_league_stats and I am getting duplicate player IDs for players with the same name - please see screenshot below

championship <- fb_league_stats( country = "ENG", gender = "M", season_end_year = 2024, tier = "2nd", non_dom_league_url = NA, stat_type = "playing_time", team_or_player = "player", time_pause = 4 )

library(worldfootballR) packageVersion("worldfootballR") [1] ‘0.6.4.7’

Can confirm that this is a bug. It's an edge case. I'll have to think about the best way to handle it.

Resolved by #332.

library(dplyr)
library(worldfootballR)
packageVersion('worldfootballR')
#> [1] '0.6.4.8'
championship <- fb_league_stats(
  country = "ENG",
  gender = "M",
  season_end_year = 2024,
  tier = "2nd",
  non_dom_league_url = NA,
  stat_type = "playing_time",
  team_or_player = "player",
  time_pause = 4
)
