Notes

• Prices are in EA FC coins
• Year 26 = EA FC 26 (current default); use --year 25 for last year's cards. --year falls back to config value if omitted
• Errors: --json mode returns structured JSON errors {"error": true, "code": "...", "message": "..."}
• Rate limiting: 0.5s delay between requests
• players list scrapes HTML — may show limited data in some fields
• players search uses the JSON API — more reliable for name/rating/price data
