Week 2 Roundup: Depleted Waiver Wire Edition

We're only in week2 yet my sources are telling me that Foul Club GMs are already complaining about the lack of talent on the waiver wire. We actually had 14 transactions this past week which may be a record but the talent is pretty thin. Though Ohsnappers!!! made some questionable drops. Though I guess this is a testament to the quality of GMs now running Foul Clubs in the NFA. My sources also tell me that one GM even raised the idea of roster expansion or contraction to deal with the lack of talent on the waiver wire but that idea was immediately shot down by NFA commish. 

 

With that intro out of the way, let's get to this week's post!

I almost titled this post differently and that would have been something to the extent of "Tiers Formed Already Edition?" We are only 2 weeks in and we the Foul Clubs appear to be separating in to their respective tiers already. I'll officially designate tiers once we get to week 4 and I start putting the graphs in but here's what they seem to be now. Basically you got Ohsnappers! at the bottom. Then 8th through 4th in the middle and the cream of the crop are the top 3. The top 3 of course having finished 1, 2, 3 in that order the last 2 seasons. 

 

This also ties the record set in 16-17 and 19-20 for fastest to have 3 teams to 1000 points which was just after 2 weeks of NFA action. There are some seasons where by week 2 no one has cracked 1000 points with NFA blog records dating back to 2014-15.

Now to my normal write-up regurgitating the standings. Ohsanppers!!! had a poor week of 250 points and drops to last place from 8th. Rodman'sWeddingDress had an average week of 325 points and falls from 6th to 8th. Baltimore Hitsquad had a great week of 450 points and stays in 7th place.F'N FLOPPERS had an excellent week of 515 points and goes from 9th to a tie in 5th place. Arlington Assaulters had an average week of 300 points and drops from 3rd to a tie in 5th. Gamblor had an average week of 380 points moves up from 5th to 4th.

Oww Ming's Flagrants had an excellent week of 550 points and drops from 1st to 3rd. GG Foulin' had an amazing week of 685 points and moves up from 4th to 2nd place. Pgastan FC had an excellent week of 595 points and moves from 2nd to 1st place. 

 

Again it will be intersting to see if these tiers hold up for the whole season. 

Well that's it for now.

Keep Foulin' Y'all!
