Even if you changed the latter, it wouldn't make a massive difference to the people on the list - mostly it'd just shuffle the order a bit. Which, feel free to do; even if you think a certain player should be 7th instead of 14th or 15th instead of top ten, these players are the best ones at their respective positions.
That's not how math works. If you take data, and then manipulate it with your opinion on what different data is 'worth', then all you're left with is opinion at the end.

Data X Opinion = Opinion
