I'm trying to build a "fantasy team" site but I can't seem to find an API for the English Premier Leauge. Is there one for free or do I have to pay to get that information?
Thanks!

Edit
My idea was to charge $10 for entering a team and to have a payout structure like a tournament, with percentages of the main pot. Like 20% to the winner, 15% to the runner up etc...
Would that count as commercial use?
Do you know if Yahoo's API (YQL) can do this?

Premier League Live Scores API allows to retrieve historical data as well as current season results, scorers, lineups, substitutes, events, statistics, odds and much more all with live updates, for the top professional English football league. And more is coming…
Each API has a freemium version of the plan that should allow you to test the API without charge. For example the API-Football API allows up to 50 requests per day for free.
Remember: you can watch all 380 Premier League games across NBC, USA Network, NBCSports.com and Peacock. We've got you covered.
I used to use one from Score24, which was awesome.
It's not free though, I believe we paid about 50€ / league / month, but that was 2005.
But it's fast, really fast. There just a couple of seconds between a goal and the XML message they send. Really cool.
They also have the teams with all the players before each game and they give you goals, cards and everything you need.
Have a look!
