    Perfect syllogism:
    - Premise #1: Society rewards people who are good at one task by paying
    them, so the best judges of football skill are the people who are paid
    to make such judgements, i.e., journalists.
    - Premise #2: The best players are not one-season wonders, but perform consistently at the top.
    - Conclusion: The best players are the ones that are included most often
    in teams of the seasons made by journalists.

    Now that the theoretical hard work has been done, it's just a matter of checking the empirical facts: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Sports_Media#By_player

    The Fantasy Scout players in this list are:
    - Pique (Benny 1)
    - van Dick (Andrea V. 4)
    - ter Stegen (Andrea V. 3)

    Everything else is empty chatter.

    Serie A records

    Most goals in a season: 36 Higuain (Andrea V.) 2015-16

    Most assists in a season: 17 (and counting) Dimarco (Andrea V.) 2025-26

    I won't spoil it for you, but... pay attention to what will happen in
    the Bel Paese in 2035-36.
