New data

The data will quickly expire as users manage their teams and interact with the game, so there are functions to collect new data, and to turn this into dataframes in the same format as the 3 above. During the off season, this function my be obsolete.

player_list <- collect_ff(n = 10, .progress = "text")

Convert player_list into players dataframe (see help page for more options)
