As I stated in my last post, it was obviously the right decision to suspend fouling but we will never know if either GG Foulin', Pgastan FC, or even both would have broken Rodman'sWeddingDress' all-time points record. So even though Pgastan FC eked out a 5-point win (closest win possible and more on that later) the real winner might actually be Rodman'sWeddingDress.
It should be noted that just about 80% of the scheduled season was completed upon suspension.
Transactions
- GG Foulin' added Richaun Holmes and dropped Naz Reid on June 3rd
- GG Foulin' added Davis Bertans and dropped John Collins on June 3rd
- GG Foulin' added Zach Collins and dropped Marquese Chriss on June 3rd
- GG Foulin' added Justise Winslow and dropped Wendell Carter Jr. on June 3rd
- GG Foulin' dropped Karl-Anthony Towns on June 3rd
- GG Foulin' added De"Aaron Fox on June 3rd
- Pgastan FC added Kris Dunn and dropped Jordan McRae on June 6th
- GG Foulin' added Jusuf Nurkic and dropped Justise Winslow. on June 6th
GG Foulin' made a bunch of transactions in anticipation that the league would actually restart and finish the season though of course that didn't happen. Pgastan FC added Kris Dunn back strictly for archive purposes though my sources tell me that he contemplated making moves in April and May just to be ready.

Final NFA Standings 2019-2020:
1. Pgastan FC - 10555
2. GG Foulin' - 10550
3. Oww Ming's Flagrants - 9000
4. Gamblor - 8775
5. Rodman'sWeddingDress - 8635
6. Arlington Assaulters - 8535
7. Ohsnappers!!! - 8040
8. Baltimore Hitsquad - 6695
9. F'N FLOPPERS - 4870
With no games in over 3 months and having already recapped the standings in my March 16th post, I write my regular recap post. I'll just write a few observations. As stated in the opening, the real winner might actually be Rodman'sWeddingDress as his record is safe. Pgastan FC wins the league by 5 points (1 personal foul) which is the closest margin of victory possible. On the other end of the spectrum, F'N FLOPPERS who was already on pace to shatter the all-time low finishes well almost 2000 points off of it. But again, this season will have an asterisk next to it but we will still probably count it in the all-time records. As it turns out Baltimore Hitsquad just beat the all-time low at 6,695 by 25 points.
Pgastan FC really came from behind to win this year. GG Foulin' had led the league after taking over from PFC in Week 3 until PFC took the lead back in Week 17 and 18 before GG Foulin' took it back in Week 19 only to lose it by the end of the abbreviated week 21.
So out of 21 weeks Pgastan FC led in weeks 1, 2, 17,18, and 21. All other weeks were led by GG Foulin'. I guess you can't even say it's not how you start it's how you finish as PFC started in first.
We actually have the same Foul Clubs finish in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd this year as last year.
Speaking of which here is the updated All-Time Standings:

Average Points Per Game: The order is the final standings.
1. Pgastan FC - 23.93
2. GG Foulin' - 24.42
3. Oww Ming's Flagrants - 20.93
4. Gamblor - 21.67
5. Rodman'sWeddingDress - 21.86
6. Arlington Assaulters - 21.23
7. Ohsnappers!!! - 18.44
8. Baltimore Hitsquad - 17.12
9. F'N FLOPPERS -11.82
League Average - 20.16
According to this metric, GG Foulin' shoud have finished in 1st with Pgastan FC should have finished 2nd. Rodman'sWeddingDress should have finished in 4th, with Gamblor in 5th and Oww Ming['s Flagrants should have finished in 6th Ogsnappers!!!, Baltimore Hitsquad, and F'N FLOPPERS finished below the league average which was really brought down by F'N FLOPPERS as you would expect it to fall between 4th and 5th but instead it's between 6th and 7th.
NFA Titles:
Pgastan FC (formerly Donkey Engine and Steam Donkey FC) 4 - 2009-2010, 2012-2013. 2018-2019, 2019-2020
Rodman'sWeddingDress 3 - 2010-2011, 2011-2012, 2014-2015
Arlington Assaulters 2- 2013-2014 and 2015-2016
GG Foulin' 1- 2016-2017
Oww Ming's Flagrants 1- 2017-2018
Pgastan FC wins his 4th ttile again in this unprecedented season which was suspended with about 20% of games remaiing. Teams played between 63-67 games at the time of suspension. During the lockout season (which doesn't have an asterisk) teams played 66 games. This is different in that the teams did not all play the same amount of games as it was abruptly halted.
I am sure thie merits of this season will be debated at NFA bars and watch parties for years to come but it is what it is and Pgastan FC is the winner.
