So as I was updating the spreadsheet where I can track weekly scores by each foul club and then subsequently graph it I noticed something very interesting in the graph. Because Ohsnappers!!! has such a low score and PFC, GG Foulin, and Oww Ming, have such a high score the latter 3 teams are the only teams above the league average of 3,387 points. I think this is the first time that only 3-teams have been above the league average. This will be more apparent when I post the graph below and do a more detailed write-up but it looks like we have:
The Haves: Pgastan FC, GG Foulin', and Oww Ming's Flagrants
Have-Nots: Gamblor, F'N FLOPPERS, Arlington Assaulters, Rodman'sWeddingDress, Baltimore Hitsquad, Ohsnappers!!!
Keep reading to learn more about the interesting trends and tiers emerging in the National Foul Association.
There's one more thing I want to mention in the intro before we get to our regularly scheduled post. That thing is Yahoo adding Injured List Plus (IL+) to leagues. IL+ is a new type of injured list that allows for Foul Club GMs to to place anyone with "INJ", "OFS", "O", or "GTD" statuses on this list. The regular IL only allows for players with "INJ" tag to be placed on it. So for instance, if you employ Andre Drummond as a fouler who is being held out until he is traded and thus has the "O" status you could place him on the IL+ list.
Now, for NFA purposes, Yahoo will let us add an IL+ spot mid-season but once we add it we can't remove it mid-season. This is the one thing we can do to roster spots post-draft. So let me know in the comments below if you want to add one mid-season or not. I think going forward I'll replace our IL spots with IL+ or have one IL and 1 IL+ or something. We did add an extra IL spot this year for COVID so we may go back to just one but perhaps IL+ going forward. Also comment on that I suppose.
Now, let's get to this week's post now.

<= 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
Ohsnappers!!! had a poor week of 205 points and has yet to break 2000 points as he finds himself way behind in last place. Baltimore Hitsquad had a horrible week of 155 points and falls from tied in 6th to 8th place. Rodman'sWeddingDress had a great week of 435 points and moves up to 7th place from 8th place. Arlington Assaulters had an average week of 305 points and moves into sole possession of 6th place after being tied there last week. F'N FLOPPERS had an average week of 320 points and falls to 5th place from 4th.
Gamblor had an average week of 395 points and moves up to 4th place from 5th. Oww Ming's Flagrants had an average week of 330 points and falls to 3rd place from 2nd. GG Foulin' had an amazing week of 630 points and moves up to 2nd place from 3rd. Finally, Pgastan FC had a great week of 445 points and stays in 1st place though GG Foulin' is closing the gap.
Points Graph:
Tier 4: Ohsnappers!!!
Tier 3: Baltimore Hitsquad, Rodman'sWeddingDress, Arlington Assaulters, F'N FLOPPERS, Gamblor
Tier 2: Oww Ming's Flagrants,
Tier 1: GG Foulin', Pgastan FC
So those are the tiers based on the graph alone, but if we also base it off the standings then we get something like this:
Tier 3: Ohsnappers!!!
Tier 2C: Baltimore Hitsquad
Tier 2B: Rodman'sWeddingDress, Arlington Assaulters
Tier 2A: F'N FLOPPERS, Gamblor
Tier 1C: Oww Ming's Flagrants,
Tier 1B: GG Foulin'
Tier 1A: Pgastan FC
Obviously it's a little subjective but let me explain my reasoning. Ohsnappers!!! is clearly in the last tier. Baltimore Hitsquad is now more than 100 points behind 7th but Rodman and AA are virtually tied so they are in 3B. The same goes for F'N FLOPPERS and Gamblor. Oww Ming's Flagrants is now further behind GG Foulin' than GG Foulin' is behind PFC so that's why those tiers changed.
Now as for the opening of this blog post where I state that only the top 3 Foul Clubs are above league average score of 3387 and looking at the graph this morning I decided to just have 3 tiers with sub-tiers. On the graph it really does look like 3 tiers even though 1st, 2nd, and 3rd have some room in between them as opposed to the jumbled mess that is tier 2. It's pretty interesting that for the last 4 weeks (and most of the season) Oww Ming and GG have been virtually tied, which the graph clearly demonstrates.You can clearly see the league average seems to be some resistance (to borrow a stock market phrase) for the bottom 6 clubs.Will any of these teams break through that resistance into new highs? Tune in next week to find out!
Well that's it for now.
Keep Foulin' Y'all!
