Changing formula based on player's name

I recently created a small database full of NFL players that is split into different positions (linebackers, cornerbacks, quarterbacks, etc.). I also have a spreadsheet in it dedicated to finding a best comparable player at their specific position. In this sheet, there is a list of players at that position, a drop-down list of player names and a formula that refers back to the positional sheets, searches through the players (using different metrics like height, weight, arm length, 40-yard dash and college production) and eliminates less comparable players until a significantly narrowed down list of players remains. Any blank spaces in the first column just means that that particular player didn't fit a particular threshold, so they were eliminated.

What I'm having trouble with is when I'm done applying that formula to the first player on the drop-down list and then select a different player's name, the results come up as FALSE.

Is there any way I'd be able to have it automatically apply the same formula to the player selected based on their name? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Does the VLOOKUP table have to be sorted?
No! when you are using an exact match, the VLOOKUP table can be in any order. Best-selling items at the top is actually the best.
Without seeing the actual details (formulas, data, etc), it is very difficult to help.
