> can we determine based on a player's month of birth if he could statistically become a good goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, or an attacker?
So, what’s the answer? My guess would be a “no”.
Because of the way age categories are defined, there is a correlation between month of birth and becoming a professional soccer player (https://medium.com/@giacorada/the-fascinating-birth-trend-am...), but I don’t see why these trends would differ between, say, goalkeepers and attackers.
