NFA Power Rankings: November 15th, 2018

I had the idea a few days ago to try some sort of power rankings for NFA in this blog. No point in doing power rankings of foul clubs each week as that is basically already covered in the weekly roundups standings section.

Posting on Thursday makes sense as it was, for the first few years of the league, the weekly deadline. That's right, the NFA used to be weekly roster changes- Thursday as opposed to Monday. Foul Club GMs used to have to change midweek. Even though that was a natural break in the NFA weekly schedule as there are traditionally only a few games on Thursday as that is the main national broadcast day. But FC GMs complained that they would forget to set their lineups with the midweek deadline and eventually the commissioner relented and changed it to weekly-Monday roster changes.

Anyway, I don't know if I will post this every week and there may be some calibrating early on but I am thinking of a top 25 foulers post each power ranking. If you have any suggestions on how to make this better leave them in the comments. So let's try this out, here are the first ever NFA Fouler Power Rankings!

You will see: Rank, Fouler, Fantasy Points, Stats, and Foul Club. And just like the Donkies stats will be: Personal Fouls-Foul Outs-Techies-Ejections-Flagrants

8. Ohsnappers!!! - 1290 (+275)
9. Gamblor - 1255 (+330)

<= 195 points: Horrible week
200-295 points: Poor week
300-395 points: Average week
400-495 Points: Great Week
500-595 Points: Excellent Week
>=600 points: Amazing week 

Gamblor had an average week of 330 points but still finds himself in last place. Ohsnappers!!! had a poor week of 275 points and falls to 8th place because of it. Arlington Assaulters had an average week of 320 points and stays in 6th place and is joined by F'N FLOPPERS who had a great week of 430 points who jumps up from 8th to a tie for 6th place.

Oww Ming's Flagrants had a great week of 410 points but falls one spot to 5th. Baltimore HItsquad had an excellent week of 525 points and jumps one spot up to 4th. GG Foulin' had a great week of 485 points and remains in 3rd place. Rodman'sWeddingDress had an excellent week of 580 points but remains in 2nd place. Pgastan FC had an amazing week of 680 points (of course 430 of those were from Blake Griffin which would equate to 63% of his points this week)and stays in 1st place.

My sources tell me that Pgastan FC's first round draft pick was between Julius Randle and Andre Drummond. The latter who is currently the number one player in the NFA with 595 points scored so far when Julius Randle only has 255 points. So Pgastan FC could have potentially scored 340 more points so far had he drafted Drummond. It's still a long way to go in the season but it's looking like that decision on draft night could come back to bite him. Had he drafted Drummond Pgastan FC would have 3 of the top 4 players in NFA as of this writing.

Points Graph:
We are 4 weeks into the season now, so here's the first points graph.
 


Well that's it for now
