2024-2025 NFA Season: 5th Month Analysis Blowout!

It's the 5th month analysis blowout which means we have played 20 weeks out of 25 in the NFA season. I have in the past done a 6th month analysis blowout in week 24 but I don't really see the point of that anymore since it's only a week before the season ends so this will be the last post before the season ends. I still plan on wrapping up with the End of the Season Donkies though. Anyway, let's get to the post! 

Standings as of March 10th, 2025

 

1. GG Foulin' - 8790

2. Pgastan FC - 8085

3. Rodman'sWeddingDress - 7430

4. F'N FLOPPERS - 6975

5. Baltimore Hitsquad - 6790

6. Arlington Assaulters - 6475

7. Ohsnappers!!! - 6440

8. Oww Ming's Flagrants - 5310

9. Gamblor - 4770

 

Average Points Per Game - Avg PPG (Last Month Avg PPG)

 

1. GG Foulin' (424 Games) - 20.73 (20.62)

2. F'N FLOPPERS (348 Games) - 20.04 (20.37)

3. Pgastan FC (432 Games) - 18.72 (19.03)  

4. Rodman'sWeddingDress (405 Games) - 18.35 (18.94)

5. Arlington Assaulters (372 Games) - 17.41 (17.26) 

6. Ohsnappers!!! (385 Games) - 16.73 (16.67)

7. Baltimore Hitsquad (410 Games) - 16.56 (16.12)

8. Oww Ming's Flagrants (370 Games) - 14.35 (14.32)

9. Gamblor (353 Games) - 13.51 (13.27)

 

League Average (389 Games) - 17.38 (17.40)   

 

The standings in the order of points per game did not change from last month and the league average barely moved either which makes since as we are 20 weeks into a 25 week season. Comparing the regular standings to these though, we can conclude that F'N FLOPPERS has either gotten really unlucky with injuries or not maximizing setting their lineup as they are in 2nd place by this metric but only have 348 games played. Arlington Assaulters is over performing and Baltimore Hitsquad seems to be under performing. Ohsnappers!!! might be slightly under performing as well. Just goes to show you gotta manage your team and maximize games played as well as draft well.

Projected Final Standings as of March 10th, 2025

 

1. GG Foulin' - 11,230

2. Pgastan FC - 10,130

3. F'N FLOPPERS - 9,520

4. Rodman'sWeddingDress - 9,515

5. Baltimore Hitsquad - 8,630

6. Arlington Assaulters - 8,290

7. Ohsnappers!!! - 8,285

8. Oww Ming's Flagrants - 6,790

9. Gamblor - 6,235

 

No change in projected standings from last month either but of course, the projected final scores did change. It's interesting to note that Pgastan FC has been fouling consistently the past month as their projected final points has stayed the same at 10,130. Unfortunately, they need to be over performing in order to catch GG Foulin' which seems out of reach at this point.  The projected final standings have F'N FLOPPERS finishing 5 points ahead of Rodman'sWeddingDress but is currently 485 points behind. This can be traced back to their lack of games played as mentioned above. 

Points Graph:

 

Tier 6: Oww Ming's Flagrants, Gamblor

Tier 5: Arlington Assaulters, Ohsnappers!!!

Tier 4: F'N FLOPPERS, Baltimore Hitsquad 

Tier 3: Rodman'sWeddingDress

Tier 2: Pgastan FC

Tier 1: GG Foulin' 

We've had a little shakeout of the tiers. Oww Ming and Gamblor remain at the bottom and GG Foulin' at the top but the middle tiers have changed and I added an additional one. Arlington and Ohsnappers are in tier 5 while F'N and Baltimore are next. Rodman is kind of in a purgatory between tiers 4 and 2 as they are about 500 points ahead of tier 4 and 600 points behind tier 2. 

Well that's it for now.

 

Keep Foulin' Y'all!

2024-2025 Midseason Donkies!

After 3-years, due to Yahoo! donking it, the Midseason Donkies have returned! I am going to present the awards first and then because I'm not posting every week I am going to do a rundown of number of Top 25 foulers each foul club has at the Donk-Star break because I was looking at it the other night and I think it's an interesting thing to report on and it used to be a regular part of this post.

The Roger Murdock Persistent Fouling Award (Most Personal Fouls): 

Domantas Sabonis leads the league at the break with 185 personal fouls

The Shawn Kemp Award (Most Foul Outs): 

Domantas Sabonis leads the league with 6 foul outs

The Rasheed Wallace Legacy Award (Most Technical Fouls):
Anthony Edwards leads the league with 12 Technical Fouls each

The Charles Oakley Award (Most Flagrant Fouls):
We have a tie! Isaiah Stewart and Jaren Jackson Jr. lead the league with 4 Flagrant Fouls each

The Dennis Rodman Award (Most Ejections)
 Nic Claxton leads the league with 3 ejections

 

Donkies by Position  Note Stat Lines below are: (Personal Fouls-Foul Outs-Techies-Ejections-Flagrants):

PG: Jordan Poole with 1080 points (152-0-6-0-1)

SG: Luguentz Dort with 1125 points (153-1-3-1-1)

SF: Jaden McDaniels with 1250 points (166-2-3-1-1)

PF: Dillon Brooks with 1480 points (182-4-10-0-0)

C: Isaiah Stewart with 1620 points (124-2-9-2-4)

*Positions are based on actual depth charts if the player is eligible for multiple positions

6th Man Award (Highest Point total for a fouler who went undrafted): Isaiah Stewart with 1620 points (124-2-9-2-4)

Midseason Most Valuable Fouler (MVF): Isaiah Stewart with 1620 points (124-2-9-2-4)

 

Wow, so the number 1 fouler in the land at the Donk-Star Break went undrafted! Pgastan FC picked him up on November 8th, amazing. Will it be sustainable for the homestretch? We'll have to find out but if Pgastan FC wants to challenge for the title this year, he's going to need it!

 

Let's look at a Foul Club by Foul Club breakdown of who has the most top 25 foulers heading into the break. This will have changed a little bit because of injuries since the last time I did it all the way back in week 7

Team Name - Number of Foulers in top 25 (specific rank of those players)
*Player currently injured 
Teams in order of current standings

GG Foulin' - 5 (3rd, 11th, 15th, 21st*, 23rd) 

Pgastan FC - 5 (1st, 6th, 8th, 18th, 22nd)

Rodman'sWeddingDress - 3 (2nd, 9th, 14th)

F'N FLOPPERS - 4 (5th, 7th, 10th, 24th)

Baltimore Hitsquad - 2 (13th, 16th)

Ohsnappers!!! - 4 (12th, 17th, 20th, 25th)

Arlington Assaulters - 2 (4th, 19th)

Oww Ming's Flagrants -  0
Gamblor -  0

In the past, the number of top 25 foulers has directly correlated with league position, but that's not the case this season at the Donk-Star Break. F'N FLOPPERS and Ohsnappers!!! have more top-25 foulers than Rodman'sWeddingDress. Also, Baltimore Hitsquad only has 2 top-25 foulers and they're ahead of Ohsnappers!!! with 4.

Well that's it for now.

Keep Foulin' Y'all!

Can you believe it? We're already 4 months into this NFA Season! Before I get to the analysis post, I'd like to mention that because Yahoo finally fixed the foul outs issue we had the last 2 years, I can finally bring back the Donkies! And since we're just days away from the Donk-Star Break, that post should be coming in a at some point over the weekend. Anyway, let's get to the 4th month analysis post!

 

Standings as of February 10th, 2025

 

1. GG Foulin' - 7175

2. Pgastan FC - 6700

3. Rodman'sWeddingDress - 6460

5. Baltimore Hitsquad - 5545

6. Ohsnappers!!! - 5235

7. Arlington Assaulters - 5195

Projected Final Standings as of February 10th, 2025

 

1. GG Foulin' - 11,560

2. Pgastan FC - 10,130

3. F'N FLOPPERS - 10,125

4. Rodman'sWeddingDress - 9,545

7. Ohsnappers!!! - 8,440

8. Oww Ming's Flagrants - 6,965

9. Gamblor - 6,440

 

I haven't been writing much commentary on these posts this year but I think the projected final standings are pretty crazy. GG Foulin' is currently projected to finish 1,430 points ahead of Pgastan FC for 1st place despite only being 475 points clear at the time of this writing. GG Foulin's average week per linear regression is 462.40, while PFC is at 405.20 and F'N FLOPPERS is not far behind PFC at 405.00. Those are the 3 foul clubs averaging more than 400 points a week per linear regression. 

Rodman'sWeddingDress average weekly score is 381.80, Baltimore Hitsquad comes in at 347.20, Arlington Assaulters at 340.80, Ohsnappers!!! at 337.60, Oww Ming's Flagrants at 278.60, and Gamblor at 257.60. Using this method shows 5 or 6 distinct tiers which is fascinating in and of itself. 

Points Graph:

 

Tier 5: Oww Ming's Flagrants, Gamblor

Tier 4: Baltimore Hitsquad, Ohsnappers!!!, Arlington Assaulters

Tier 3: F'N FLOPPERS

Tier 2: Pgastan FC, Rodman'sWeddingDress

Tier 1: GG Foulin' 

 

While I wrote last month the tiers are starting to come into focus, it's kind of true however the foul clubs in the tier purgatory could be in the tier above or below. It's kind of arbitrary but for the most part we do have some distinct tiers. The biggest questions come with teams in 3rd (Rodman'sWeddingDress at 6,460), 4th (F'N FLOPPERS at 6,030) and 5th (at 5,545) as they are separated by 915 points.

 

Again, tune in later in the week for the 2024-2025 Midseason Donkies! 

 

Well that's it for now. 

 

Keep Foulin' Y'all!
