Nameless Platypuss Nameless 5/10 seems pretty rubbishy in any marking scheme (purely my opinion !)
Mathematically it's less than half marks and I've always seen 6 as a 'standard' score going up for better than the norm and down for worse.
If you allow for scores of 0/10 then 5 is the exact midpoint of the scale - 5 ratings above and below.
But if you go 1-10 then 5.5 is the mid point.
Which is another example where we need some kind of official rating. Surely FIFA should be sorting this rather than simply making millions for Sepp.
Maybe we need a poll 1-10 or 0-10?
I use 1-10 personally so my minimum expectation for a player is achieving a 6. 7 is good, 8 is great, 9 is fantastic and 10 is mindblowing.
5 mediocre, 4 poor, 3 terrible and 2/1 are so horrific as to virtually never be relevant. except for Pauls Brooker and Brayson.
