    Sure, you can find some, but thousands of examples? I think it’s far more often the case that the players that look to have gotten worse really aren’t, they are just being expected to play at a level beyond their abilities so they look bad. For example a player having a great season in the Championship, getting sold to a PL team and doing poorly most likely isn’t receding from their peak, they were never a PL level player to begin with.

      Yes thousands of examples

      Players have one off seasons all the time in every league idk how people watch football but say this

      Just in PL u have so many one season wonders let alone other leagues that you have never seen

      Idk if i know this but it’s very hard to be consistent and great at a very high level

        A one off season is not their actual level, it’s just being in great form…

          It’s not just one off season, it’s overall consistency that is so hard to achieve at high levels not just in football in every sport
