I tried running get_player_details(name="Mohamed Salah") in R and I'm receiving the following error. Error in open.connection(con, "rb") : cannot open the connection In addition: Warning message: In open.connection(con, "rb") : InternetOpenUrl failed: 'The operation timed out'

Hi, looks like a simple connection error - either on your end or the FPL API. If it's the former, you'll have to check your local connection. It could be the latter - the FPL API has been overloaded to start the season - then simply try another time.
