On 1: that's good placement and it's an acceptable tradeoff between showing material difference and the smaller size of the move list. However, there should be alternate CSS for people who have turned off material difference, which should make the move list larger.
On 2: that's not where I would put it (it is inconsistent with the current placement) but I like the idea.
On 3: I actually don't agree with this one. It causes a user interface problem called 'hover and cover', which can be very frustrating. In other words, the player card popup would cover up other stuff on the list, and it would take too long for it to disappear.
Which leads me to the second problem: this can take up to a second to load. The way people interact with computers means that they will wait for this to load and have a quick glance at it, and then move their mouse away to make it disappear. By that time, the player will be gone. So it will, unconsciously, lead to a worse user experience. That's why I cannot agree with that implementation.
As for putting it on your name on the top right, it's not good because it would clash with the fact it's a drop-down menu and make it kind of unnatural (drop down menus with 2 actions are just odd).
