Error binding parameter 0 - probably unsupported type - sqlite

Question

I am creating an SQL db and trying to iterate over an excel file and put all the data in to the SQL table as follows but I keep getting an annoying error. I have looked at the data types and still can't get my head around it please let me know if anyone spots what the problem is my code is:
import sqlite3
from openpyxl import load_workbook
#wb = load_workbook(r"LeaguePlayers.xlsx")
#read workbook to get data
wb = load_workbook(filename = r"LeaguePlayers.xlsx", use_iterators = True)
ws = wb.get_sheet_by_name(name = 'Sheet1')
#ws = wb.worksheets
conn = sqlite3.connect("players.db") # or use :memory: to put it in RAM
cursor = conn.cursor()
# create a table
cursor.execute("""CREATE TABLE players
(player TEXT,
team TEXT,
points INTEGER,
cost REAL,
position TEXT)
""")
#Iterate through worksheet and print cell contents
for row in ws.iter_rows():
for cell in row:
cursor.execute("INSERT INTO players VALUES (?,?,?,?,?)", row)
conn.commit()
#----------------------------------------
# display SQL data
#----------------------------------------
c.execute('SELECT * FROM players')
for row in c:
print (row)
The error i get says:
cursor.execute("INSERT INTO players VALUES (?,?,?,?,?)", row)
sqlite3.InterfaceError: Error binding parameter 0 - probably unsupported type.

I really think you need to do some kind of introduction to Python.
You are making two elementary mistakes: looping of the cells in a row but passing the row to the query; passing a complex object as opposed to a native Python type such as an integer or string.
Something like the following is what you want:
player = [cell.value for cell in row]
cursor.execute(query, player)
Note, that execute takes a sequence (tuple or list) as the second argument.
