I'm with you on the eligibility criteria... especially given this:

I'd like to see some evidence (match reports, stats) to back up the claim that Hilfenhaus started the season poorly but ended looking a lot better... but that's no suggesting preferential treatment - each player's season needs to be looked at quite closely for evidence of unrepresentative end-of-season figures.
