You are now trying to make definitive claims of your own about causal relationships without providing any evidence. 19Yzerman19 is unable to produce convincing evidence that adding high-corsi players will result in a high-corsi team. But likewise you present no evidence to support your categorical claims to the contrary.
Adding a selection of high-corsi players will not improve a team's corsi?
Prove it.
My gut feeling is that the answer lies somewhere in between, but I'm not making statements like "will not", "don't", and "should not" because I don't have any convincing evidence to base it on.
