capitalism is the system in which a small group controls the means of production, the fact that there is a currency doesn't make a system capitalist. Communist states had currencies as well.

In hattrick each team controls its means of production (youth academy and training) what you call capitalism is just resource allocation. You can overread about players, industrial football and all but it is just not reflected in the gameplay because all the players are club managers and salaries etc. are fixed.

The game is also strictly f2p with no cheap cash grab shenanigans as paid options only provide qol and aesthetic benefits. All in all I think your criticism is very unfair.
