In the current game engine, height and weight have no effect. The height and weight aspect was added in anticipation of the new engine which could possibly be in use for season 9. When the new engine does get implemented, height and weight will have an effect according to the admins. The exact effect has yet to be determined, but there has been a lot of speculation. Most speculation seems to trend towards tall players being better.

Tall will be better for most positions, that is. Taller players will have the ability to weigh more, which is an advantage in force calculations. They also will have higher vision.
However, shorter players will be more agile, so they will be better kick returners, for example.
