Describe the bug
"None" values when retrieving the players rating

Affected scrapers
This affects the following scrapers:

ClubElo
ESPN
FBref
FiveThirtyEight
FotMob
Match History
SoFIFA
Understat
WhoScored

Code example
A minimal code example that fails. Use no_cache=True to make sure an invalid cached file does not cause the bug and make sure you have the latest version of soccerdata installed.

import soccerdata as sd
sofifa = sd.SoFIFA(leagues="ENG-Premier League", versions="latest")
player_ratings = sofifa.read_player_ratings(team="Arsenal")
player_ratings.head()

Error message

"crossing", "finishing", "headingaccuracy", etc values for every player = "None"

Additional context
From my perspective different problem than bug number #791. At least from the output.
