Week 7 Roundup: Sullinger's Histoic 3 games

Yahoo Posted this in Jared Sullinger's player notes section on Sunday:

"Jared Sullinger is one of the main reasons why the Celtics are on a three-game losing streak, as he is averaging more fouls per game (3.7) than points (3.3) in that stretch."

That's pretty impressive, more fouls per game than points, the only problem with this quote is that they are calling it a problem. We all know that in NFA this is a glorious thing!

Also, it appears that Yahoo will let you change your lineup on Monday until the first game of the week tips off as opposed to locking at 2 AM Central time (Midnight Pacific) as it has in the first 5 years of NFA.

Anyway, let's take a look at what has transpired in the NFA over the past 7 days.

Stat Corrections:

There were a total of 4 stat corrections, 2 of which were on players owned by NFA franchises/

-Ben McLemore had a Personal Foul taken away retroactive to December 11th. F'N FLOPPERS had him active that week so he loses 5 points.
-DeAndre Jordan was given a Techy retroactive to November 2nd. Arlington Assaulters had him active that week so he gains 40 points.

Standings as of December 15, 2014:

1. Baltimore Hitsquad- 3280  (+490)
2. Pgastan FC- 3090 (+490)
3. They Call Me Gamblor- 3065 (+545)
4. Arlington Assaulters- 3060 pts (+585)
5. Rodman'sWeddingDress- 2970 (+455)
6. F'N FLOPPERS 2790 (+435)
7. Oww Ming's Flagrants 2560 (+340)
8. Dis is dat Donk Ball- 2225 (+360)

Arlington Assaulters gained the most points this week and as a result swapped places with Rodman'sWeddingDress. AA is only 5 points behind of TCMG and TCMG is only 25 points behind PFC. Very tight race for 2nd in NFA at the moment. Baltimore Hitsquad remains in 1st place with a 190 point lead on PFC, both teams having gained 490 points this week. At the other end of the standings, F'N FLOPPERS gaints 95 points on Oww Ming's Flagrants to further distance them from 7th place, while Dis is dat Donk Ball is bringing up the rear with a measly 2225 points.

Transactions:

-Baltimore Hitsquad added Kendrick Perkins and dropped Greg Monroe on December 10th
-F'N FLOPPERS added Rajon Rondo and dropped Sebastian Telfair on December 11th
-Arlington Assaulters added Marc Gasol and dropped Spencer Hawes on December 13th
-Pgastan FC added Rudy Gay and dropped Iman Shumert on December 13th
-Oww Ming's Flagrants added Tyreke Evans and dropped Wilson Chandler on December 15th

That last transaction is noteworthy has he added Oww Ming's Flagrants on Monday in the AM and was able to put him into his roster this week as the NFA games had not yet tipped yet. Goes back the statement at the beginning of this blog post.

That's it for now

Weeks 1 Through 6 Points Total Graph

Points graph for weeks 1 through 6:

Pretty close race for the NFA title thus far, with the exception of Dis is dat Donk Ball, though he has just switched up his roster, so let's see if he can climb the standings.





Week 6 Roundup: Talking Techies

If we ever start a NFA podcast, it's going to be titled "Talking Techies" how can you not call it that? Anyway, let's take a look at what has transpired over the past 7 days.

Stat Corrections:

There were 5 stat corrections this week and 4 affected players currently owned but PFC did not own Stoudemire on November 19th when they took a techy away from him.

-Quincy Acy  had a techy taken away retroactive to November 28th. Rodman'sWeddingDress had him active that week so he loses 40 points.
-Robin Lopez  had a techy taken away retroactive to November 28th. Baltimore Hitsquad had him active that week so he loses 40 points.
-Kirk Hinrich  had a techy taken away retroactive to November 20th. Dis is dat Donk Ball had him active that week so he loses 40 points.

Standings as of December 8, 2014:

1. Baltimore Hitsquad- 2790  (+445)
2. Pgastan FC- 2600 (+440)
3. They Call Me Gamblor- 2520 (+420)
4. Rodman'sWeddingDress- 2515 (+375)
5. Arlington Assaulters- 2475 pts (+465)
6. F'N FLOPPERS 2355 (+375)
7. Oww Ming's Flagrants 2220 (+245)
8. Dis is dat Donk Ball- 1865 (+265)

As you can see, only Dis is dat Donk Ball has failed to reach the 2000 point plateau. 1st and 2nd stay the same, but 3rd and 4th swap positions. Actually, 5th through 8th also end up in the same positions as a week ago. Top point getter this week was Arlington Assaulters who scored 465 points, though Bmore Hitsquad, PFC< and TCMG all scored in the 400s this week too.

Transactions:

-Oww Ming's Flagrants added Wilson Chandler and dropped Nick Young on December 2nd
-F'N FLOPPERS added Darrell Arthur and dropped Kevin Love on December 3rd
-Dis is dat Donk Ball added Ed Davis and dropped Thaddeus Young on December 5th
-Dis is dat Donk Ball added Giannis Antetokounmpo and dropped Anthony Davis on December 7th
-Dis is dat Donk Ball added Tobias Harris and dropped Jonas Valanciunas  on December 7th

Man, people picking up players with long names....

Anyway, that's it for this week,

Week 4 and 5 Roundup

Well, I apparently forgot to do a roundup for week 4 so I'm going to combine both this week.

Stat Corrections

Week 4:
There were a total of 5 stat corrections but only one affected a player who was owned....

- DeMarcus Cousins  had a techy taken away retroactive to November 13th. Rodman'sWeddingDress had him active that week so he loses 40 points.

Week 5:
This is new, all stat corrections this week were only on personal fouls. There were 8 total stat corrections but only 4 affected teams...

- John Wall was credited with an additional personal foul retroactive to November 25th. Baltimore Hitsquad did not have him active that week so he doesn't gain 5 points.

 - Paul Millsap had 2 personal fouls taken away retroactive to November 25th. Arlington Assaulters did not have him active that week so he doesn't loses 10 points.

  - Marcin Gortat had 1 personal foul taken away retroactive to November 25th. They Call Me Gamblor did not have him active that week so he doesn't loses 5 points.

  - Paul Pierce was credited with an additional personal foul retroactive to November 25th. F'N FLOPPERS did have him active that week so he gains 5 points.

Standings as of December 1, 2014:

1. Baltimore Hitsquad- 2345  (+375 Wk 4; +720 Wk 5)
2. Pgastan FC- 2160 (+325 Wk 4; +700 Wk 5)
3. Rodman'sWeddingDress- 2140 (+315 Wk 4; +385 Wk 5)
4. They Call Me Gamblor- 2100 (+435 Wk 4; 405 Wk 5)

8. Dis is dat Donk Ball- 1600 (+470 Wk 4; +295 Wk 5)

Not a whole bunch of movement in Week 4 as it turned out, with Dis is dat Donk Ball surprisingly gaining the most points with 470. They Call Me Gamblor was the only other team in week 4 to crack the 400 mark. Week 5 on the other hand saw 2 teams crack the 700 mark with Baltimore Hitsquad and Pgastan FC gaining 720 and 700 points respectively. Baltimore HItsquad has a 185 point lead on 2nd, while 2nd only has a 20 point lead on 3rd and 3rd is only up 40 points on 4th. 5th is 90 points behind 4th but only 20 ahead of 6th and 6th is only 5 ahead of 7th. As you can see, only Dis is dat Donk Ball is out of it at the moment but that can all change in a week or two as Pgastan FC went from 7th to 2nd over the span of weeks 4 and 5.

Transactions:

-Pgastan FC added Amar'e Stoudemire and dropped Marc Gasol on November 23th
-Pgastan FC added James Harden and dropped Wilson Chandler on November 23th

That's it for this week

Week 2 Round Up

Don't Feel like writing an introduction, so let's get right to it:

Stat Corrections: There were 5 stat corrections but none of those players were owned by anyone so it has no effect on the NFA standings.

Standings as of November 10, 2014:

1. Baltimore Hitsquad- 1030 pts (+440)
2. Oww Ming's Flagrants- 970 (+425)
3. They Call Me Gamblor 905 (+500)
4. F'N FLOPPERS- 900 (+350)
5. Rodman'sWeddingDress- 815  (+380)
6. Arlington Assaulters- 720 (+285)
7. Pgastan FC- 705 (+390)
8. Dis is dat Donk Ball- 565 (+320)

Balitmore Hitsquad had the 2nd best week which saw him move into first after gaining 440 points. They Call Me Gamblor won the week with 500 points, while Dis is dat Donk Ball had the worst week with only 320 points. Still early so not too much analysis this week but I wil go into a little more detail on performance fouls through 2 weeks:

- F'N Floppers is the only team with an ejection so far
- Rodman'sWeddingDress is the only team without a Techy this season
- Baltimore Hitsquad, Oww Ming's Flagrants, F'N Floppers, and Pgastan FC have 1 flagrant apiece.
- Arlington Assualters, Pgastan FC, and Dis is dad Donk Ball are the only clubs without anyone fouling out. Coincidence that they the last three teams in the standings?

Transactions:

- Pgastan FC picked up Iman Shumpert and dropped Khris Middelton on November 9th
- Pgastan FC picked up Eric Bledsoe and dropped Mo Williams on November 9th.


That's it for now.
