Media Bob's Stats - The Free Kick Table For Season 32

[Tonga Bob]

​

Hello nerds!

In what has quickly become a highlight of the SFA season, Bob's Statistics (a division of Bob's Shitpostsᵀᴹ) is once again delighted to present to you the Free Kick Table for season 32! For those of you that are either new to the SFA or have repressed any memory of its existence, here's a summary of what this is all about:

"Free kicks are a very emotive topic in football, however it seems that the 'random' nature of qootball displaces that emotion from umpires to the sim. One way to look at this is a free kick differential, which aggregates free kicks over a period of time and shows which teams receive more than others.

My Free Kick Table takes this one step further, and aggregates the impact of free kicks on a game-by-game basis to see who won the free kick count in each game. So pretty much what would happen if you replaced goals and points scored with free kicks received and conceded."

I'll soon show you the Free Kick table for the previous three seasons, along with some stuff that will help to read it. Then over the course of this season I will track which teams and player are most influenced by the qumpires in both a positive and a negative way. At the end of the season I'll once again be handing out the coveted Silver Whistle Trophy for the team that tops the Free Kick Table at the end of the home and away season, as well as the Little Spoon Trophy for the player with the most free kicks received and the Big Spoon Trophy for the player with the most free kicks conceded.

​

Can the Roys take out the Silver Whistle for the third time in four seasons? Will the Gumbies add to their season 30 triumph? Could another team taste the ultimate glory in season 32 (not the Hawks tho, they ded)? Will anybody actually care this season? Stick around nerds as all these questions and literally tens more will be answered over the course of the next sixteen week. LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!

Here's the Free Kick Tables from the previous three seasons:





And for those playing at home, here's what the columns in the table mean:

Legend:

Win: Number of games where team's free kicks > opposition's free kicks;
Draw: Number of games where team's free kicks = opposition's free kicks;
Loss: Number of games where team's free kicks < opposition's free kicks;
Points: Like a normal ladder - 4 points for a win, 2 points for a draw, 0 points for a loss;
For: Total number of free kicks received;
Against: Total number of free kicks conceded;
Diff: Differential between number of total free kicks for and against;
Home: Free kick differential for games played at home;
Away: Free kick differential for games played away;
H/A Diff: Differential of home ground free kicks minus the differential of the free kicks from away games;
Victory: Free kick differential for games won;
Defeat: Free kick differential for games lost;
V/D Diff: Differential of free kicks in qooty victories minus the differential of the free kicks in qooty defeats;
%: Differential expressed as a percentage;
Ladder Var: Variation between position in Free Kick Table and Official Qooty (Points Scored) Table.

Without any further ado, let's get straight into round one.



The Royals and the newly-rebranded Phoenix received the most frees in round one, while the Roys & the Demons were best at not conceding frees. Overall though it was the Dees who enjoyed the best run in round one, earning a third more frees than their opponents the Warriors. Even though the Persimmon Perils have the same free kick differential as both the Furies and the Dragons, the fact that the qumpires didn't blow their whistles as much during the prelim rematch at Van Cortlandt Park means that ironically the team from Coney Island sit on the bottom of the table for the first time since the final round of season 29.

As for the defending champion Roys, well they didn't let something as trivial as a 41 point qooty defeat stop them from winning their free kick count against the Sin Citizens, even if it was by a single free kick. Some things never change it seems...

Now let's check in on the individual awards:

​

Qumpires must really love their leg being humped, because last season's joint Mobbs medallist Pugsley has bolted out of the blocks thanks to his eight (8) frees received in round one. The Royal Couple of Marlowe & spookism hold the other Little Spoon podium positions at this stage with seven & six frees for respectively, while the top five is rounded out by Phoenix flyer por_please_ya and Bear cub RookiePick who are both on five frees for.

The pacesetter in the Big Spoon this week is Warrior milestone man Lord_Flashheart, whose five conceded free kicks made up a whopping 31.25% of his team's total frees against. Behind Flashy sit a foursome on four frees against, including Dragon duo fumbler & Mooresome, veteran Gumby respect-craver Rodney Dangerfield and West Coast revolving gelatinous blob croweater 41

Early days here, so there's no real trends to glean. Let's see what this weekend's results have in store for us. Seeya soon nerds.

Wooo free kicks wooo!!!!

Well, I'm balls deep in this concept so imma just go with it.

• The Demons are the only team with a perfect record, while the Gumbies and Roys (surprise surprise) are the other undefeated teams;​
• The draw between the Dragons and the Warriors left the Swamprats as the only team with no points, although all three teams are yet to have a free kick win;​
• The biggest rise was from the Furies, who jumped six spots on the ladder thanks to their 23-13 trouncing of the Bombers despite being themselves trounced in the qooty result;​
• The Bombers, Phoenix & Swamprats saw the biggest fall, each going down five places.​

Here's the individual placings:

​

In the Little Spoon, StFly has come out of nowhere to share the lead with Pugsley with por_please_ya still in the bronze position. The pug's fellow Mobbs medallist GWS Goose and Royal spookism round out the top 5.

The Big Spoon also has a new leader as Phoenix newbie SaintBilly has made like his namesake and got himself a fat contract for doing bugger all. StFly joins round one leader Lord_Flashheart proving that he can do it at both ends, while there's a logjam just behind them which includes ant555 fumbler Tarkyn_24 NSWCROW Rodney Dangerfield Mozzie19 GreyCrow tony and Matera92.

There you go nerds, feast on those numbers.

glad PMBangers and I put some fire in your belly; this is your best work yet

 

[fumbler]

Typical softy Demons ontop always bitching to the umps for free kicks.

When you look at their team list it's easily understandable.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Happy Friday nerds. Another week of free kicks have been deliberated, dissected and delivered. Here's the washup...

• Mount Buller remain the only team with a perfect record after three rounds, with the Roys still the only other team to not face defeat;
• The form teams of the SFA are the Furies & Bears. Both have won their last two and have a FK differential of +17 & +11 in that time;
• The Swamprats are the only team with three losses, but the margins of those losses (-1, -1 & -2) indicate they're not far off a win, particularly as they face 11th placed Baghdad this week;
• Apart from the Bombers & the Gumbies, all sides are within 4 spots when comparing variance between qooty & FK ladders (overall average of 3) which may show the positive correlation between free kicks and qooty victories.

Now it's time for a new segment which I like to call...

Thanks for the message thrills, and it's great that you just f*cken love numbers. You'll go far with that attitude kid, hopefully you can become a positive influence for your team in these trying times. Because my God they are trying. Anyhoo, not only have I made a table with all three seasons that I've had a free kick table, I've included this season as well! I'll add it to my mid-season & post-season reviews, but for now here's a sneak peak of what it looks like...



Really makes you think aye?

Now to the individual totals...

​

The Gold City Royals cannot blame spookism or Marlowe for sitting 10th on the free kick table as the Royal Couple have contributed 56% of their teams frees for to jointly lead the Little Spoon race. Demon follower Callums_Guns and the omnipresent Gumby StFly are one kick back, with former Penix winger por_please_ya & Bomber doggo Pugsley still in the hunt.

If spookism & Marlowe is the yin of Gold City's free kick story, then nahnah is surely the yang as they join last week's Big Spoon leader SaintBilly & grizzled Bear Matera92 on eight frees against. They sit one conceded free kick ahead of StFly damicky Antonio BlueVein tony and the dashing Lord_Flashheart

Bloody hell I'm exhausted after providing you nerds with that calibre of brilliance. Time for a nap. Until next week.

Marlowe and I just racking up the frees like we play for the Western Bulldogs or something.

 

[Tonga Bob]

Welcome back nerds, another round of free kicks to scrutinise and I don't now about you but...

​

What does all that mean?

• The Demons remain unblemished and the Swamprats remain blemished;​
• The Furies rise continues while the Warriors have climbed from 12th to 3rd over the course of the season, while the Phoenix and Royals are in free fall;​
• There were some massive free kick margins in round four - Coney Island's 20-10 drubbing of the East Siders the biggest one but the Wonders (17-8 over the Bears), the Bombers (18-10 over the Swamprats) and the Demons (17-10 over the Royals) all had impressive results;​
• The Roys lost a free kick count, albeit by one kick! Expect a stern response from the qumpires for Mobbs 500th match;​
• The variance in ladder positions between qooty results and free kicks continues to shrink, now down to 2.5 ladder positions. The Furies and the Swamprats are the outliers here.​

Individually things look like this:

​

Babylonian canine mascot Pugsley rooted the right legs last week, as his massive nine (9) frees for propelled him to the top of the Little Spoon leader board. He's four ahead of former leader StFly and Warriors skipper TheInjuryFactory who was one of two players to receive six free kick in round four. The other person to do that was s31 Little Spoon pacesetter Supersuns who finds himself in fourth place on the leader board alongside Gold Citizen Marlowe

Phoenix rookie SaintBilly (at least I think he's a rookie) retains the Big Spoon lead, with nahnah from the Royals joining him on ten frees against. A logjam of six players are two kicks further behind, including such miscreants as fumbler Bradesmaen StFly damicky tony & Matera92

Enjoy your weekends, and happy qootying!
