First of all, I want to thank you for the extensive test results related to the attributes. That’s truly outstanding work.
As far as I understand, this is what we know so far: There are a few attributes (primarily speed) that are critical (1). Other attributes also have some influence (2), but it’s too minor to quantify with the current test setup. Additionally, it’s disappointing that the attributes recommended by SI for each role don’t align with reality (3). In other words, the key question at this point is: which of the less significant attributes are important for specific roles? This question is particularly intriguing because, as outlined here (1), differentiation through speed becomes increasingly difficult in top-tier football.
In my view, this question could be addressed by identifying which attributes affect specific individual actions (e.g., interceptions, pass accuracy, crosses) performed by players. Once we determine which attributes are decisive for individual actions, we can evaluate the importance of each attribute for a player role based on how frequently those actions are performed during a game.
The benefit of this approach lies in the robust statistical foundation and likely higher sensitivity of individual actions to the attributes.
What do you think, @Zippo@Delicious? Would this be an approach you’d consider exploring?
