BPOS plays a part in player build but it isn't the be all and end all. If two players have the same exact skills then it's a no brainer to take the guy with higher BPOS, but that rarely happens. You have to figure out a trade off between skill levels and BPOS and decide who is the better player.

I played 4.5* BPOS players in NT games as I felt they were better than the other players overall. I've seen Spain field a side of all 5* BPOS players and lose to a team with only a handful of 5* players. This is also GI where luck is probably an equivalently large factor, if not more so.

Pretty much this for any of the deep WC teams. The players that were sitting on the bench for team USA are certainly stars for each of their respective teams, but there are so many good players, only the elite generally are starters
