[Whoscored] Scraping Issue with EFL #557

Closed WillT23 closed 2 months ago

Hi,

When running the loader to scrape for games in the English Championship & League One (possibly League Two as well), the loader when scraping the schedule looks like it is trying to find playoff games which don't exist yet. It then just keeps going back in the calendar on the website but never finds a game as there aren't any. Is this an issue that can be fixed or do we just have to wait until playoff fixtures are decided?

Thanks,

Will

The English Championship & League One are not supported, hence I will not implement a fix. Maintaining compatibility with every possible league is not manageable for me. If you can fix it yourself and it does not break other functionality, feel free to create a pull request.
