In the home_players and away_players dataframes from get_open_match (soon te be get_open_game) there is a column "position".
This column contains either of these 4 values: goalkeeper, defender, midfielder of forward.
More detailed information is available (for example: right back, left center back, right center back or left back instead of just defender).
I propose this gets it's own column in the home_players and away_players dataframe with the name "position_detailed".
Statsbomb created this visual that should have all positions:

The get_open_match function uses the sportec parser but it would be nice to add this for all providers if it is available
