This likely results in the overall ratings prior to 2023 being decreased in comparison to reports since Sept 2023.For an `Apples to Apples` comparison between players, we recommend only comparing reports before, or after, Sept 2023.
Results will average out accordingly as more data is accumulated.

Average TOI (between 18:00 - 21:00) says he is a potential top 4 defender depending on game scenario. Used ES and on the PK.
