It looks like a list that makes more sense than the previous list, to me. Thoughts?
can you list the top 10 movers in either direction? (From your initial stat to the improved version) Interested in who changed most

Thanks for running the new list. Using a league average comparison for DSG probably gives a little too much credit to players that play on good defensive teams. However, as you mentioned, using his team's production while he is off gives too little credit to the players like Gibson that play on good defensive teams. It's nice to have both perspectives. The player's true defensive value likely lives somewhere between the two bounds.
