Considering performance benchmarks

I want to provide plausible reasons for evaluating a player’s performance, like a small sample size or the fact that Messi had over 10 seasons at his peak. Different roles can also affect comparisons, so it’s important to be patient and not to idolize too soon. I should consider what fair benchmarks could be—like minutes played or stats like xG (expected goals) and xA (expected assists). Let’s work on crafting a thoughtful response!
