but it gives 0 elements. Can you please help me?

This is best done using the fantasy premier league API. Go here for more info on the API link: https://www.reddit.com/r/FantasyPL/comments/c64rrx/fpl_api_url_has_been_changed/

Using an API in R will require you to do some research, but have a look at the fromJSON() function in the jsonlite package.

This should be enough to get you started, let me know if you have more questions.
