But the difference between a 100 Control guy and a 200 Control guy is not nearly so big.

The OVR rating (stars or out of 80) already accounts for that non-linearity, so I guess I don't understand the purpose of weighted averaging the ratings.
You could do a simple interim calculation to account for that non-linearity. Cumbersome maybe, but simple.

Maybe I'm obstinate and ignorant but when I look through the OVR ratings, I frequently don't agree. The spreadsheet (aside from being fun for me) let's me evaluate the players the way *I* want to.
