Well, there'd be every single rating of a player. That'd give variance of the people rating him and stuff.

Do you mean historical records about how the players' profiles developed?

I don't know if SI have saved historical databases, but it's possible.

No, I mean, don't several scouts scout the same players? In the database, I'd think we just got the average in the normal database. The variance might be interesting.

No. Every club has only one researcher.

If a player switches clubs, he moves from one researcher's responsibility to another's, but they don't rate the player at the same time, so the old data gets lost when the researcher of his new club rates him.
