Yeah, we've actually already layered in a lot of that this year as well, and we'll continue to expand on what we include for sure.
Just to clarify though, we don't necessarily 100% use the Savant data for a single year for a lot of ratings, so you won't see a direct correlation between their data and the rating in-game. Some ratings we use Savant data more strongly than others, so some areas you will see a more direct correlation than others.
We will layer in data from multiple years of Savant, and will also include other sources, including tweaking ratings based on reputation and scouting reports as well.
There are a lot of reasons for that, one being that single season sample sizes are notoriously noisy and it usually takes multiple years of data to stabilize defensive data in particular. So we like to use as many data sources as possible when doing the ratings to balance out the noisiness of small sample sizes.
