There is one point, however, i would diagree. Sorare (So5) is a game and it should not reflect reality. Other fantasy games like FPL or Draftkings use a very simplified scoring matrix to push the StDev of results as high as possible. The more 'real' a scoring becomes, the lower the range of outcomes (some players just play very well each game), which is very bad for a game that relies on randomness to work well.
The gap in the mean of centrebacks and fullbacks might be a little bit too high, but other than that i hope Sorare will be very cautious for any changes. From the perpective of game theory, it's not even necessary to change a thing, because any flaw in the matrix is getting balanced by the market.
Great analysis, great article!
