Nothing to compare against. He appeared in every match in this selection, so there is no “without him” side. Widening the window or the seasons is the way back.

A split by appearances is an association, not a measurement. A player does not choose the matches he misses, and the ones he misses are often the ones he was rested for. Treat a difference as a question worth asking, not as an answer.
