2024-2025 NFA Season: 1st Month Analysis Blowout

As I alluded to in my last post of the 2023-2024 season, I was likely going to switch up this blog if not abandon it all together. Well as you can see by reading this post, I haven't chosen to abandon it all together but I am switching things up. Basically, the weekly recap posts were becoming stale, pointless, and a burden. It also didn't add much value since it was just regurgitating what happened the previous week. However, I still like doing the monthly analysis posts as it gives a chance to forecast the season. 

Since, I'm not writing the weekly recaps the analysis posts will looks a little different. They will just show the current standings, followed by the points per game (sorted by points per game not current standings), projected standings (only showing and sorted by linear regression), and finally the points graph. Also, the current standings won't have the change from the previous week. One final program note, I'll won't necessarily post these on a Monday but will try. It not on Monday, it will likely be Tuesday and Wednesday at the latest. Let's get to the 1st month analysis post.

300-395 points: Average week
400-495 Points: Great Week
500-595 Points: Excellent Week

Rodman'sWeddingDress had a horrible week of 105 points and falls to 9th place to finish last this season. Gamblor had a poor week of 220 points but gets out of the cellar to finish in 8th. Baltimore Hitsquad had a poor week of 260 points and stays in 7th place. F'N FLOPPERS had an average week of 350 points and stays in 6th place. Oww Ming's Flagrants had an average week of 340 points and stays in 5th place.

Pgastan FC had a poor week of 290 points but is able to fend off Oww Ming's Flagrants and stay in 4th place. Ohsnappers!!! had an average week of 360 points and finishes in 3rd place for their first trophy. Arlington Assaulters had a great week of 475 points and finishes in 2nd place. GG Foulin' had an average week of 310 points and finishes in 1st place. 

Here are the updated All-Time NFA Standings

 

Only 2 teams broke the 10,000 point mark this year whereas the last 2 season we had 6 and 5 teams break 10,000 point mark. Not sure what that is saying. It could be a down year in scoring overall, it could be NFA teams are getting better at drafting an identifying talent so it's more evenly spread out (which seems plausible given how thin the waiver wire was) or it could mean something else. We have a new foul club on the podium for the first time in Ohsnappers!!! an Arlington Assaulters back for the first time in 6 years finally breaking the monotony of GG Foulin', PFC, and Oww Ming finishing int he top 3 that had happened the last 5 years. 

Team Foul Stats
Let's take a look at which foul club accumulated the most stats of each of the 5 stat categories as well as totals for the NFA this season.

Personal Fouls 
Total: 11,430
Leader: GG Foulin' with 1,617 fouls (14.14% of the league's fouls)
Low: Gamblor with 997 fouls (8.72% share)

Foul Outs
Total: 102
Leader: Ohsnappers!!! with 18 (17.64% share)
Low: Gamblor with 1 (0.98% share)

Technical Fouls
Total: 329
Leader: Arlington Assaulters with 67 (20.36% share)
Low: Rodman'sWeddingDress with 24 (7.29% share)

Flagrant Fouls
Total: 40
Leader: GG Foulin' with 7 (17.5% share)
Low: Baltimore Hitsquad with 0 (0% share)

Ejections 
Total: 33
Leader: GG Foulin' and Arlington Assaulters each with 6 (each with 18.18% share)
Low: Ohsnappers!!! with 1 (3.03% share)

There were no records set this year

Personal Fouls
Pgastan FC: 1,766 (2009-2010) 

Foul Outs
Oww Ming's Flagrants 27 (2018-2019)

Technical Fouls
Oww Ming's Flagrants: 70 (2016-2017)

Flagrant Fouls
Pgastan FC: 12 (2016-2017)

Ejections
Pgastan FC: 8 (2012-2013)

 

Average Points Per Game: The order is the final standings.

1. GG Foulin' - 20.08 (571 Games)

2. Arlington Assaulters - 20.05 (542 Games)

3. Ohsnappers!!! - 18.97 (509 Games)

4. Pgastan FC - 17.87 (529 Games)

5. Oww Ming's Flagrants - 18.81 (501 Game)

6. F'N FLOPPERS - 17.43 (519 Games)

7. Baltimore Hitsquad - 17.38 (469 Games)

8. Gamblor - 14.43 (516 Games)

9. Rodman'sWeddingDress - 15.80 (470 Games)

 

League Average -17.87 (514 Games)

League average points per game was down almost 3 from 20.03 to 17.87. Again, either fouling was down this year or teams are better at identifying talent so foul clubs are more evenly spread out in the league. The top 3 finish appropriately. Pgastan FC should have finished in 5th with this metric and they almost did. Only other discrepancy is Rodman finishing in last place when they should have finished in 8th by PPG. 

NFA Titles:

Pgastan FC (Formerly Donkey Engine and Steam Donkey FC) 4 - 2009-2010, 2012-2013, 2018-2019, 2019-2020

GG Foulin' 4 - 2016-2017 and 2020-2021, 2021-2022, 2023-2024

Rodman'sWeddingDress 3 -  2010-2011, 2011-2012, 2014-2015

Arlington Assaulters 2 - 2013-2014 and 2015-2016

Oww Ming's Flagrants 2 - 2017-2018, 2022-2023

 

GG Foulin' joins Pgastan FC with their 4 title for most all-time passing Rodman'sWeddingDress who has 3. All title winners have won before. Will we get a new title winner next year? Can Ohsnappers!!! build on their 3rd place finish to win next year? Who knows, but we'll have to wait and see!

Programming Note: The blog is becoming to feel like a burden again and it's not fun writing a post every week. I'm not sure what I'll do next season but leaning towards maybe just the monthly analysis posts and then sprinkling in posts whenever I feel like it or if there's some big news in the NFA. We'll see. 

 

Also,  Yahoo! still hasn't figured out how to fix the missing foul outs in the stats for year which is really frustrating when trying to analyze players on the waiver wire so maybe we get more people to email them and try to fix it. I know they are aware of the issue. I wonder if it's other leagues or just ours. I would guess all leagues with foul outs but who knows. With now foul outs I still can't do the End of Season Donkies!

Well that's it for now.

Keep Foulin' Y'all!
