Still recovering, adjusting, tweaking (with your help in the comments and on Twitter, thank you) from the debacle of last month. Still rebuilding the template, though it’s pretty thoroughly done now. Players between +/-5.0 rating points should be considered equal value and at that point become a matter of personal preference or team needs.
