Discord py limit instead of requirement on range

Question

I'm having List index out of range error and the issue is that I'm trying to show 25 results of players on a squad. Squads don't require 25, but only have a limit of 25. So when the squad doesn't contain 25 players, I get the out of range error. My question is, how do I display a list of squad members up to 25, but not requiring 25? Here is the line that is causing issues:

e = discord.Embed(title=f"{x2[0]['squadName']} ({squadnumber})", color=discord.Colour(value=235232), description='\n'.join([f"{c} <@{x[c-1]['player']}> - {int(x[c-1]['points']):,d} Score"]) for c in range(1+(25*(0)), 26+(25*(0)))]))

I used this method to get the range:

x = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
y = [x[i] for i in range(0, 5 if len(x) >= 5 else len(x))]
# this will get the first 5 elements of the list, and if the list isn't long enough
# it will get the length of the list

Here's the concept in use:

And applying this method will get you this:

e = discord.Embed(title=f"{x2[0]['squadName']} ({squadnumber})",
                  color=0x396E0,
                  description='\n'.join([f"{c} <@{x[c-1]['player']}> - {int(x[c-1]['points']):,d} Score" for c in range(1, 26 if len(x.keys()) > 25 else len(x.keys()))]))

Also, I noticed another thing with the code, such as discord.Color(value=some_value), you could just do 0xHEXCODE for example, to get the hex code, so I edited it in to make it easier on the eyes.

Please let me know if you need clarification on anything.
