RE: The following is an incomplete list of association footballers who died while playing...
Yes, the Wiki list is incomplete. I am also open to the possibility that there could be more before 2021 than what was documented in the Wiki table.
However, their names are mentioned and the circumstances described.
So based on that table, we get the 5x above average figure.
Do you have a better source that show us that this number fir 2021 isn’t unusual and is to be normally expected for FIFA?
No, we get it based on that incomplete table plus a count of deaths in 2021 that as far as I can tell was plucked out of thin air.
And from that you make the unambiguous fact claim that "it has occurred at FIVE TIMES the frequency beyond the average of the past two decades."
To repeat, all they have is an admittedly incomplete Wiki table and a number they made up, or at least refuse to say where they got it, and based on that they make an extraordinary claim.

Nice try, but it doesn't work that way.
When you make an extraordinary claim like you did the burden is on you to provide some evidence.
Forget the 5X, show me the 2021 cardiac death rate is above normal at all.
And I hope you would admit that RealNews blog piece isn't evidence anyone should rely on.
