Week 18 Roundup: Leap Day Edition

Well given that it's February 29th (and who knows the next time it will fall on a Monday) I had to title this blog post appropriately. I initially titled it "Free Agent Pool Dried Up Edition" and you can see the write up for that below:

Another week passes, another week where no Foul Clubs added any free agents. A look at the wire shows the free agent foulers are pretty thin. It looks like most Foul Clubs have solidified their rosters as of now and there are really no better options out there. There are probably a few hidden gems but it's probably for players that don't have any (or little) history of fouling so it would take an established fouler getting benched, injured, or just on a terrible cold streak for some foul clubs to make some roster moves at this point in the season. Has the free agent pool dried up? Usually, we have teams making transactions until the very end. Maybe most foul clubs have discovered how to evaluate talent better.

Well, let's get into this week

Stat Corrections
- Draymond Green had a techy taken away from him retroactive to January 20th. Rodman'sWeddingDress had him active that week so he loses 40 points.


Standings as of February 29, 2016

1. Arlington Assaulters- 8225 pts (+515)
2. Oww Ming's Flagrants 7740 (+605)
3. Rodman'sWeddingDress- 6955 (+240)
4. Pgastan FC- 6940 (+385)
5. F'N FLOPPERS 6555 (+295)
6. They Call Me Gamblor- 6435 (+335)
7. Ohsnappers!!!- 6145 (+405)
8. Baltimore Hitsquad- 5860 (+330)

Before I get to the regular standings analysis, a quick observation. 3 weeks ago, Baltimore Hitsquad had 5155 points, 2 weeks ago Ohsnappers!!! had 5555 points, 1 week ago Pgastan FC had 6555 points, and this week F'N FLOPPERS had 6555 points. So, fives have been wild the last few weeks, can this oddity continue?

Anyway, let's start from the bottom. Baltimore Hitsquad is the only club to have not broken 6000 points yet. He scored 330 points this week and remains in last place. Ohsnappers!!! put up 405 points and remains in 7th place about 300 points ahead of 8th and 300 points behind 6th. Speaking of 6th, They Call Me Gamblor put up 335 points but remains in 6th, 120 points behind 5th., F'N FLOPPERS who put up only 295 points. Pgastan FC put up 385 points and closes the gap on Rodman'sWeddingDress to only 15 points (with an assist given to the stat correction mentioned above). Rodman'sWeddingDress only put up 240 points this week and as mentioned in the last sentence is only 15 points ahead of 4th. Oww Ming's Flagrants had the best week with 605 points to close the gap on 1st. However, Arlington Assaulters put up the 2nd best week with 515 points so the gap between 1st and 2nd is still pretty significant (485 points).

As of right now, the duels that seem to be shaping up are for 3rd and 5th. If Oww Ming's Flagrant's can have a few more weeks like this week, Arlington Assaulters will have to sweat out the title and his hope for wire-to-wire would be in jeopardy.

Transactions
As mentioned in the intro, there were no transactions this week.


Well that's it for now

Keep Foulin' Y'all!
