Week 10 Roundup: Team Strength Check-In Part 2

Like I said when I wrote the first team strength check-in 4 weeks ago, I'll try to make this a regularly scheduled post in the middle of my monthly analysis posts. You can say we're in an "off-week" in that these posts are the Euro's or mid-term elections whereas the monthly analysis posts are the World Cup or Presidential elections. Even though this is a self-proclaimed "off-week" post, it's still an important tool to gauge the strength of the Foul Clubs in the NFA. Due to COVID and players in the Health and Safety Protocols, it should be noted that Foul Clubs have had to scramble the last few weeks dropping injured players just to field a full 7 foulers each week. I only bring this up because it could mean some Top 25 foulers have switched teams or some foulers just dropped out of the top 25 due to not playing. I am counting Top 25 foulers who happen to be on their club's injured list slot as well. Anyway, let's check out the strength of each Foul Club for Week 10.

Key

Team - Number of Foulers in top 25 (Rank of those foulers)

1. Pgastan FC - 4 (4, 10, 19, 21) 

2. GG Foulin' - 5 (5, 6, 11, 24, 25)

3. Rodman'sWeddingDress -  3 (1, 2, 12)

4. Arlington Assaulters -  2 (16, 22)

5. Gamblor - 3 (7, 9, 14)

6. Oww Ming's Flagrants - 1 (3)

7. Baltimore Hitsquad - 3 (8, 13, 20)

8. Ohsnappers!!! - 3 (15, 17, 18)

9. F'N FLOPPERS - 1 (23) 

I guess I was wrong as unlike last time all Top 25 Foulers are currently rostered. A few interesting observations. First, Rodman'sWeddingDress has propelled their way up the standings with the 1 and 2 foulers so far in the league. Most Top 25 foulers goes to GG Foulin' who has 5. Pgastan FC is next with 4, followed by 4 clubs with 3. Arlington Assaulters has only 2 Top 25 foulers despite being in 4th place. Finally, as of this writing 7 of the Top 25 foulers have an injury designation so presumably in 4 weeks there will be a different group of 25 foulers.

F'N FLOPPERS had a horrible week of just 95 points and stays in last place. Ohsnappers also had a horrible week, though scoring 110 points, and stays in 8th place. Baltimore Hitsquad had an average week of 360 points but stays in 7th place. Oww Ming's Flagrants had a poor week of 250 points and falls to 6th place. Gamblor had a great week of 465 points and moves up to 5th place.

Arlington Assaulters had an average week of 375 points and falls to 4th place. Rodman'sWeddingDress had the best week this week (an excellent week) of 575 points and moves up to 3rd place. GG Foulin' had a great week of 450 points and stays in 2nd place. Finally, Pgastan FC had a great week of 405 points and stays in 1st place.

Points Graph:

  

Tier 4: Ohsnappers!!!, F'N FLOPPERS

Tier 3: Gamblor, Oww Ming's Flagrants, Baltimore Hitsquad

Tier 2: Rodman'sWeddingDress, Arlington Assaulters 

Tier 1: Pgastan FC, GG Foulin'

The tiers remain unchanged this week with the points graph pretty much holding firm compared to last week. Tier 4 clubs seemed to move basically in tandem with one another. Tier 3 got closer together, while tiers 1 and 2 got a little more separation but not much. 

Well that's it for now.

Keep Foulin' Y'all!

Week 9 Roundup: The IL Shuffle

No that's not the Illinois Shuffle, though that could be the next big dance at weddings in the near future. You know, like the Cha Cha Slide or the Electric Slide. No, that's the Injured List Shuffle. I could have named it The COVID Shuffle but Foul Clubs are getting hit with non-COVID injuries as well so that just adds to the predicament most clubs are in. Now there have been some roster moves done by clubs so last week was probably worst but let's take a look at how many players each club has with some sort of injury designation. Now that could be anyone with any type of red letters next to their name per Yahoo! Likely that's just "GTD", or "INJ", but possibly "O" as well. Now, there's a total of 10 active roster spots for each Foul Club plus to IL slots. You can only put someone on the IL if they have an "INJ" designation. This list will be for this week as this post comes after rosters locked. Of course transactions had to be done last night to get into this week's roster.

Team Name - # of Active Players with Injury Designation (# of IL Slots in use)

Pgastan FC - 4 (2/2)

GG Foulin' - 5 (2/2)

Arlington Assaulters - 5 (2/2)

Rodman'sWeddingDress - 3 (2/2)

Oww Ming's Flagrants - 6 (2/2)

Gamblor- 2 (1/2) Current Player in IL has come back tonight

Baltimore Hitsquad - 2 (0/2)

Ohsnappers!!! -  4 (0/2)

F'N FLOPPERS - 3 (0/2)

A few things here. First, had I done this post mid-week last week it probably looks worse as a lot of the players entering health and safety protocols happened then when Foul Clubs couldn't do anything to their rosters. Second, it's interesting to note that the bottom tier teams don't seem to know how place an eligible player in the IL slot to free up a roster spot or they just aren't checking their teams that well hence why they are in the bottom tiers. Finally, the top half of the league is dealing with a lot of disruption in terms of injured players so who knows what kind of movement, if any, we see in the standings in the coming weeks. 

 

Now on to this week's regularly scheduled post.

Points Graph:

 

Tier 4: Ohsnappers!!!, F'N FLOPPERS

Tier 3: Oww Ming's Flagrants, Gamblor, Baltimore Hitsquad

Tier 2: Arlington Assaulters, Rodman'sWeddingDress

Tier 1: Pgastan FC, GG Foulin'

 

The tiers remain unchanged after last week. The biggest difference seems to be Pgastan FC's widen lead over GG Foulin'. The rest of the tiers there really wasn't much movement within them as most foul clubs had very similar scores to each other that actually coincided with the tiers. 

 

Well that's it for now.

 

Keep Foulin' Y'all!
