Reading a comparison
Use comparison outputs as a learning brief: rate, efficiency, and role context in one view.
What you will learn
- Start with minutes and per-90 rates to normalize differences.
- Check efficiency next, then interpret with team and role context.
- Use comparisons for discussion, not prediction.
Start with the baseline
Always open with minutes played and per-90 outputs before scanning totals.
Comparing like-for-like roles reduces noise in the results.
Layer in context
Team style, position, and tactical role can change how stats show up.
If two players have similar per-90 rates, context can explain the differences in totals.
