In my opinion, the set of players should be inclusive of all football players. By limiting it to the most successful outliers in a power law distribution, we limit ourselves to the players with the best possible outcome. Players don't really get to choose whether they belong in this set; they choose to play highly competitive football. In short, I think we should define the group by factors that result from choice, not outcome.
