C# DeserializeObject

I am trying to take the json on DeserializeObject it so I can use the player data in my application. My code looks like this.

List<Root> list;

            string json = new WebClient().DownloadString(URL_Player);
   
            list = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<List<Root>>(json);

Root is a class I created and it works fine if I return a single player like this

list = JsonConvert.DeserializeObject<Root>(json);

Its just when I try to return a full list of players I get

“Newtonsoft.Json.JsonSerializationException: ‘Cannot deserialize the current JSON object (e.g. {“name”:”value”}) into type ‘System.Collections.Generic.List`1[System.Object]’ because the type requires a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) to deserialize correctly.
To fix this error either change the JSON to a JSON array (e.g. [1,2,3]) or change the deserialized type so that it is a normal .NET type (e.g. not a primitive type like integer, not a collection type like an array or List<T>) that can be deserialized from a JSON object. JsonObjectAttribute can also be added to the type to force it to deserialize from a JSON object.”
