Agreed. I assumed nobody took the caf player performance ratings too seriously until a few hours ago.Taking player performance ratings by fans seriously is a mug’s game. For the reasons you say and plenty of others. One of the biggest being that a bad result will knock a point or two off every rating and a good result will add a point or two. So the same player can put in two identical performances in a game we win and a game we lose and get radically different opinions. Plus players who divide opinions will get absolutely hammered by their critics if they put in anything other than a top performance. Especially when that player is someone like Bruno who is the creative hub of the team, with consistently amongst the highest number of touches and passes of any player in the team. There’s no way to try and be “objective” about any footballer other than the actual stats behind their performances. Trying to judge them based on a popularity contest is stupid.
