Thanks! Also, what are some sources for stats that would be available for free online? I've looked at some 538 stuff, some Statsbomb stuff, whoscored, and football-data.

Legally, there isn't much. Most of those sites are powered by Opta data, which is exclusively for-purchase.

Statsbomb is a little different. They've started collecting their own data and are offering some free data from various Womens leagues.

This repo should grow each week, and eventually catch up to the real world in terms of NWSL data:
