 ### Bugs

+***
+
+# worldfootballR 0.6.6
+
 * `fb_league_stats()` not returning `opponent` table. (0.6.5.0001) [#355](https://github.com/JaseZiv/worldfootballR/issues/355)
 * `tm_player_bio()` not returning values in the `player_valuation`, `max_player_valuation` and `max_player_valuation_date` fields. Unfortunately, `max_player_valuation` and `max_player_valuation_date` fields are no able to be scraped at this release (0.6.5.0002) [#357](https://github.com/JaseZiv/worldfootballR/issues/357)
 * `fb_league_stats()` not returning `player` table when hidden on page load. (0.6.5.0003) [#351](https://github.com/JaseZiv/worldfootballR/issues/351)
 * Fix parameter mis-sepcification in fbref vignette. (0.6.5.0005) [#385](https://github.com/JaseZiv/worldfootballR/issues/385)
 * `fb_season_team_stats()` failing due to change in FBRef table name. (0.6.5.0007, 0.6.5.0008) [#395](https://github.com/JaseZiv/worldfootballR/issues/389)
-
-### Breaking Changes
-
 * In addressing the issue with `tm_player_injury_history()` in [#375](https://github.com/JaseZiv/worldfootballR/issues/375), the previously names column `club` has been renamed `club_missed_games_for` to better represent that this column will contain the games the player missed games for, as previously this column could have been misunderstood to be who they were playing for when they were injured (0.6.5.0004)
-
-### Improvements
-
 * `understat_match_players` and `understat_match_stats` added. (0.6.5.0006) [#386](https://github.com/JaseZiv/worldfootballR/issues/386)
-
-***
+* `fb_league_stats()` unreliable for `team_or_player = "player"`. (0.6.6) [#395](https://github.com/JaseZiv/worldfootballR/issues/395)
