The average for any decent player in a large squad would be about 80% and that would include being rested or rotated. We are talking about a player though who has played in a paper thin squad so short of quality in his position that he is one of the first names on the teamsheet if he is available to play.Look at the post I responded to though. He’s played nearly 60% of the games. It’s not half a dozen games a season is it?
What’s the average outfield player %? 85%? He gets injuries but it’s not like he’s never available.
So 60% of games played actually means he was totally unavailable for 40% of them and that is before we even start to think about the number of games he had started and then find off injured in.
