It's just an inquantifiable fact that chemistry, teams, age, fitness and mental acuity are all factors in whether or not any single player can produce equally, worse or better than their previous years efforts. It's the same in any team sports.
There's an infinite amount of probabilities. Heck there's 49 numbers in lotto 6/49 and what are the odds of replicating the same numbers twice? 1 in 53 million or something?
And those are based on set numerical values let alone 1000s of different aged human with varying degrees of talent and skill in one leagues and 32 teams.
No team is the same, no player is the same.

Random variation. Why would you assume rest matters more than having players born on a Wednesday? Quantify it.
