Week 5 Roundup: Piper Aerial Donination Edition

"Welcome to this live broadcast. This is glorious football weather. . USA...are playing from left to right. Waaaaales are playing from right to left." 
 
"Waaaaales, thwarted again"
"He's hit it at the keeper!"
"WHAT A CRACKER!" 
"He still has possession!"
"USA...are passing well"
"WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY!"
"He's running well"
"A number of opportunities are available" 
"HE HIT IT AT THE WALL!"
"KEEPER!...a magnificent save"
"There's a fight for aerial domination!"  

With the World Cup having started yesterday and the US taking on Wales today, figured I'd throwback to the glorious commentary of International Superstar Soccer 64 for the opening. Let's get to this week's post.
 

Stat Corrections
-There were 2 stat corrections this week but since neither player was rostered I'm not going to list them here. 

Transactions
- Gamblor added Ja Morant and dropped Tyrese Haliburton on November 14th
- Pgastan FC added Jae'Sean Tate on November 15th
- GG Foulin' added Jalen Williams and dropped Keegan Murray on November 18th
- Pgastan FC dropped Nic Claxton on November 19th 
- Gamblor added Larry Nance Jr. and dropped Dwayne Dedmon on November 20th
 
Not sure why F'N FLOPPERS dropped Jae'Sean Tate instead of putting him on an IL spot as he is an excellent fouler. That allowed Pgastan FC to swoop in and pick him up to stash in an IL spot. But that was after Tate was on the waiver wire for over a day for anyone to pick up. In fact, he was almost on the waiver wire for 36 hours, so really anyone could have picked him up. Could be a league changer if he can come back from this injury and resume the fouling that we're all used to. 
 
Standings as of November 21st, 2022
 
1. Oww Ming's Flagrants - 2560 (+405)

<= 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 an average week of 365 points and stays in last place. Rodman'sWeddingDress had an average week of 345 points and stays in 8th place. F'N FLOPPERS had a poor week of 290 points and stays in 7th place. Arlington Assaulters had an excellent week of 535 points and stays in 6th place. Gamblor had an excellent week of 565 points and stays in 5th place. 

GG Foulin' had a great week of 410 points and falls to 4th place. Pgastan FC had an excellent week of 545 points and moves up to 3rd place. Baltimore Hitsquad had a great week of 485 points and stays in 2nd place, though only 5 points (1 personal foul) behind 1st place. Which means, Oww Ming's Flagrants remains in 1st place after a great week of 405 points. 

Points Graph:
 
 
Tier 5: Ohsnappers!!!
Tier 4: F'N FLOPPERS, Rodman'sWeddingDress
Tier 3: Arlington Assaulters
Tier 2: Pgastan FC, GG Foulin', Gamblor
Tier 1: Oww Ming's Flagrants, Baltimore Hitsquad 

The standings are starting to settle down a little bit and we're starting to get some established tiers. Though, the top 6 teams are pretty close together with the point difference between 1st and 6th only being 325 points. So, I could have lumped the top 6 teams into one tier really but we'll see how the next few weeks play out. In fact, the top 6 clubs are all fouling above the league average, 5 weeks in. 

Well that's it for now.

Keep Foulin' Y'all!
