"Any suggestion how to solve this simple looking problem?"
Use a non-scalar structure:
Rather than awkwardly and inefficiently forcing meta-data (a pseudo-index) into the property names, a simple non-scalar structure would let you use neat, basic, efficient MATLAB indexing to achieve your goal:
classdef SoccerLeague<handle
properties
% Empty structure:
players = struct('Name',{},'Position',{},'GP',{},'PF',{},'PA',{},'P',{});
end
methods
function obj = SoccerLeague
names = {'Joe','John','Lisa','Tina'};
for ii = 1:numel(names)
obj.players(ii).Name = names{ii};
end
end
end
end
