Storing a list of data from a url

Hi,

I am attempting to store data from a url. I believe that webread() is the function to do the task but I am struggling to implement it correctly. Ideally I'd like to store the values cost, sel, form and pts and have them linked to the players name. Eventually I'd like to look at the different statistics under the drop down menu for sorted by and store those too. Does anyone have any advice as to why I'm getting this error?

When I run my code, I get the error seen below in lines 5-10 below

data = webread('https://fantasy.premierleague.com/statistics');



Attempt to execute SCRIPT webread as a function:
C:\Users\Laurence\Documents\MATLAB\webread.m

Error in fantasy_analyser (line 1)
data =
webread('https://fantasy.premierleague.com/statistics');

C:\Users\Laurence\Documents\MATLAB\webread.m is your own function, and it is interfering with use of MATLAB's webread() function. You need to rename C:\Users\Laurence\Documents\MATLAB\webread.m to something else.

Yes that's done it, thank you.
