It's been a while since I had the time to do this, but what I used to do (and there may be better / more efficient methods), is go into the Player Search screen for a number of completed tournaments, and filter it so that only players with a relevant number of at bats (or IP) are visible. Then use Report -> Write Report to Disk. Then once you have generated such reports for a number of tournaments, combine them in Excel, sort them by player name, add up the combined stats across tournaments and teams per player, and then recalculate the statistics you think are most important in evaluating a player's performance. I liked to calculate batters' Runs Created per Plate Appearance, and then multiply it by 580 to get an idea of a player's average full-season performance. I don't recall what I used to evaluate pitchers, but the method was the same.
The key here is to not just look at your players' performance, but at the performance of all players in multiple tournaments so that you have enough data to draw conclusions on.
A shortcut to building an average winning tournament team is to look at a number of teams that ended 1st or 2nd, see which players are most common on those teams, and assess whether it is feasible for you to obtain such cards in order to compete at whatever level you are looking at. (Gold tournaments and upwards can get very expensive if you want to field a competitive team.)
Hope this helps. I'm sure some players have streamlined / automated this process, but I'm not sure if they'd want to share their secrets to becoming competitive
