I don't think we have to require that every OP is comprehensive. It can be a conversation starter. DF98 if you think an OP is tilted one way or leaving out some relative info, why not just come along and add it?
I did. But that´s not my point. I just dislike the player x/y concept. It fakes objectivity and takes away the context. If we learned anything about stats in the last few years it is that they are meaningless without context.
Example: Who would you rather have?
A: 35 minutes, 25/5/3, 46/34/75, 27mio, 24 years old
B: 34 minutes, 25/7/4, 49/39/84, 7mio, 22 years old
C: 31 minutes, 25/8/5, 46/36/87, 33mio, 28 years old
In the following posts the OP added something like this.
Player A is still on his original team
Player B has been traded once
Player C is a known diva and forced his way out of his original team
Without context those numbers are useless. It can be a fun exercise to find the matching players but it makes no sense to compare the players based on those numbers.
