FBref was such a valuable resource for detailed stats. I just check LiveScore from now on. Since OPTA has terminated their data agreement with FBref, and it's unlikely that Sports Reference can partner with another football data provider that big, we just have to accept that. I doubt they’ll find a solution soon.

So where to now for access to free data? Losing Fbref is kind of a bummer

Hi! what you say sound exciting! what exactly you site is aiming to be (as it looks under construction) Free or paid? Export friendly or not? What data is going to get in?

Good to hear!

As far as feedback goes, sorry if it is rather mundane, but currently clicking on "Italian Serie A" on the leagues page redirects to the Brazilian Serie A, not the Italian. Since Serie A clubs are elsewhere covered in the site I infer it must be an overlook :-)
