In the computer weekly article linked in another comment it states the players are not claiming they own the data - but that they have data rights and are seeking to address the issue of people using that data without consent.

That sounds a little less clear cut, I'm not a legal expert but I guess a case might be able to be made about privacy and GDPR conformance. But probably not that they can be paid for the data.

My understanding is that they should have some rights, in this case namely they could be to request their own data, to correct their own data and to ask their data to be removed(right to be forgotten)...
