Week 4 Roundup: Analytics Edition

With the hire of Nick Nalkin as GM for PFC, this could potentially alter how foul clubs evaluate talent . He was nice enough to share a little information with me to post on the blog. Looking over the past 2 years, here is the top fouler:

DeMarcus Cousins: It should be no surprise that DeMarcus Cousins is the best fouler in the game. What is surprising is how much better he is than number 2. He averages 36.88 points per game over the 2 years while playing 130 games (out of a possible 164). 2nd place, for comparison, came in with 28.31 points per game while 3rd was 26.78 points per game.

Well, that was all the information he was willing to disclose so lets get to the update.

Stat Corrections
-Jonas Valanciunas had a techy taken away from him retroactive to November 13th. Pgastan FC had him active that day so he loses 40 points.

Standings as of November 23, 2015

1. Arlington Assaulters- 2080 pts (+580)
2. Rodman'sWeddingDress- 1755 (+450)
3. Oww Ming's Flagrants 1580 (+290) 
4. They Call Me Gamblor- 1335 (+250)
5. F'N FLOPPERS 1245 (+310)
6. Pgastan FC- 1200 (+275)
7. Ohsnappers!!!- 1185 (+325)
8. Baltimore Hitsquad- 1130 (+375)

Baltimore Hitsquad continues to close the gap on 7th place with a very respectable 375 points. Ohsnappers!!! is clinging to 7th place after putting up 325 points for the second consecutive week. Pgastan FC remained at 6th with 1200 points falling further behind F'N FLOPPERS who now has 1245 points. They put up 275 points and 310 points respectively. They Call Me Gamblor is only 90 points ahead of 5th now after only scoring 250 points this week to bring his total to 1335.

Oww Ming's Flagrants put up 290 to remain in 3rd with 1580. Rodman'sWeddingDress put up 450 points to stay in 2nd, but could not gain any ground on 1st. Arlington Assaulters put up a whopping 580 points to continue his hot start of the NFA season. This easily could be the best start to an NFA season, unfortunately we only started keeping records on the NFA on a weekly basis last year, so really nothing to compare this too. Last year Rodman'sWeddingDress was leading the league through 4 weeks with 1755 points.

Transactions: 
-F'N FLOPPERS added Bismack Biyombo and dropped Jason Thompson on November 19th
-F'N FLOPPERS added Al-Farouq Aminu and dropped Josh Smith on November 19th
-Pgastan FC added Michael Carter-Williams and dropped Jerryd Bayless on November 21st
-Pgastan FC added Khris Middleton and dropped George Hill on November 21st
-Pgastan FC added Ian Mahinmi and dropped Greg Monroe on November 21st
-Pgastan FC added Josh Smith on November 22nd
-F'N FLOPPERS added Richard Jefferson and dropped Ben McLemore on November 22nd
-F'N FLOPPERS added Deron Williams and dropped John Wall on November 22nd


Well that's it for now. Unfortunately, there are no NFA games on Thanksgiving so we'll be forced to watch the lame NFL... at least the Bears play.

Keep Foulin' Y'all!
