One statistic I would like to see, is where the starting players play.
Team, league, confederation. With stats for both the first round and
for the round of 16.

Both that would involve actual work.

Chances are that you can reply in less than one minute (if it's not
the case, forget about it): what happens if you weight each player,
using as weight the chances to win the cup that RSS collective mind
has assigned to his NT?

E.g. each Spanish player counts 0.1893, each North Korean 0.0033.

All the unattached players started!
