The depth that current analytics can go is to say “well they have a terribly unlucky shooting percentage”

Until analytics can show us why GGs systems produce shots that lead to this lower shooting % or show some other reason we have to just chalk it up to “luck”

Until the analytics gets to a baseball level which would require understanding each coaches system, how it is deployed in various game situations etc we can’t truly rely on analytics to predict anything
It works well for baseball because it is a turn-based game, with player positions reset before each event (pitch). Football, same sort of thing. Even soccer, because it's so damned slow.
