Get standings from fotmob — fotmob_get_league

Returns league standings from fotmob.com. 3 types are returned: all, home, away

fotmob_get_league_tables(country, league_name, league_id, cached = TRUE)

Arguments

country: Three character country code. Can be one or multiple. If provided, `league_name` must also be provided (of the same length)
league_name: League names. If provided, `country` must also be provided (of the same length).
league_id: Fotmob ID for the league. Only used if `country` and `league_name` are not specified.
cached: Whether to load the dataframe from the data CSV. This is faster and most likely what you want to do, unless you identify a league that's being tracked by fotmob that's not in this pre-saved CSV.
