How much do we love free kick stats? THIS much!
You'd thing that after nine seasons I'd get sick of running the Free Kick Count thread aye?
That's right nerds, for the tenth season in a row your host (me) will be feeding you stats akimbo from the qumpire's kitchen. Not just stats though. Analysis, good God almighty there will be analysis. Here's the official blurb:
"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."
And what is the end result of the aforementioned analysis? Prizes dummy. I got prizes. The team that finishes the home and away season on top of the Free Kick Table wins the coveted Silver Whistle Trophy. And those individuals that catch the eye of the qumpires for either good or bad reasons will be in the running for individual gongs such as the Little Spoon Trophy for the player with the most free kicks received in the season or the Big Spoon Trophy for the player that concedes the most frees in the season.
So with only a little bit of further ado I present to you the Free Kick Table for season 39.
