@Klausul - I actually haven't solved it, so I reopened the issue. For some reason I'm running into the issue on one of my devices, but it works fine on my other device.

The following works fine for me:

fbref = sd.FBref("ESP-La Liga", "23-24", no_cache=True)
fbref.read_team_season_stats(stat_type="standard")

For which league / season are you experiencing problems?
