SEASON 31 & 30 NUMBERS
​

IN: Metalcrusher (Bears), Lady Godava (Furies), HaroLad (returned), Osc1 (rookie), Andronicus (rookie), CrowInFiji (rookie), CursingFijian (rookie), Dadda Dave (rookie).

OUT: Requiem (delisted), VSTone (delisted), Judd_Magic (delisted), HereComesJuddy (retired), SammaGilberto (retired), Ash24 (delisted), CALL ME SNAKE (retired), CrowInFiji (delisted), miggs (delisted).

ROOKIES ​

The Bombers brought in five rookies into Baghdad this season, with varying levels of success. Andronicus (0.0 ppw) and Dadda Dave (0.1 ppw) never bought into the league, whilst CrowInFiji (47.5 ppw) burned brightly for two rounds before being handed a life sentence in Banhammer. Osc1 (4.8 ppw) made regular appearances across the season though, and CursingFijian (49.3 ppw) was a massive success and has a good chance to poll strongly in the EKA count.​

​

LOSSES​

New skippers BLUEALLTHRU and Metalcrusher had a good cleanout of the deadwood over the offseason, and Requiem (S31 0.0 ppw), VSTone (S31 0.0 ppw), Judd_Magic (S31 0.0 ppw), HereComesJuddy (S31 0.0 ppw), SammaGilberto (S31 0.0 ppw), Ash24 (S31 0.1 ppw) were not a noticeable loss. CALL ME SNAKE (S31 3.9 ppw) retiring was their only significant exit, whilst miggs (1.8 ppw) and the aforementioned CrowInFiji left midseason. ​

GAINS​

The big one was Metalcrusher (S31 184 ppw) who made his well publicized return from the Bears. Joining him were The Greatest Ava (S31 40.5 ppw) from the Furies and the long awaited return of HaroLad.​

PLAYERS TRENDS​

There were some moderate to big increases in output from the likes of BLUEALLTHRU (from 129 to 186 ppw), Kilroy (from 53.5 to 97.7 ppw), Tony Lynn 15 (from 43.2 to 70.4 ppw), RobR (from 132 to 145 ppw), Jabba73 (from 61.4 to 71.6 ppw), Bovo (from 24.6 to 39.5 ppw) and a return to activity from TheCoach16 (from 0.5 to 33.0 ppw).​

It wasn't all positive though, with Metalcrusher spending six of the sixteen rounds in Banhammer (and also reducing output from 184 to 134 ppw), Antonio BlueVein (from 117 to 30.9 ppw) losing interest, and less activity from Pugsley (from 128 to 98.3 ppw) and MITS (from 17.0 to 6.7 ppw). ​

TEAM TRENDS​

Fairly good news across the board on this one. Overall posting output increased from 13,395 to 17,058 for the season (up 27%), average posters per week increased from 14.06 to 18.88 (up 34%). Total posters increased from 21 to 26 and average median posts increased from 742 to 959 (up 29%). Average match thread post share remained steady (59.83% to 59.66%). Importantly for the Bombers there was also a much better spread of posters across the squad: the reliance on their Top 5 Posters reduced from 71.94% to 62.02%, the number of Bombers with >2% of their posts increased from 11 to 12, and the number of Bombers with over 20 ppw increased from 9 to 13. ​

Once again they never dropped below 300 posts for the week, and they actually increased the number of 600+ post week from 14 to 15 and number of 900+ post weeks from 6 to 10.​

Say what you want about the Bombers, but you cannot fault their squad engagement and match thread activity this season.​

GRADE: A+​

Brilliant work serial_thrilla !

 

[GWS Goose]

Yeah I previously ran a similar scoring system but generally ran out of steam chasing voters for votes. I can share my methodology:

Poster allocates between 15 and 25 votes in whatever fashion they deem fit to the opposition, to a maximum of 5 votes per poster. The flexibility on the total allocation meant that if a team was sh*t you could allocate the minimum, and if the team was really good you could allocate up to the maximum. Decimals were also encouraged.

sh*t, maybe I bring my metrics back next season.

The drawback there is that you need an even number and consistency of voters for the system to work, makes it difficult to manage as you saw.

If you could ensure the consistency of voters, that would have been awesome.

I can't believe Van_Dyke beat me by a measly three posts.

**** yeah, victory is sweet

They were measly, weren't they?

They were definitely points

Were they?

they were the 3 greatest posts this website has ever seen

7-0 in the last week. cats2rise has only himself to blame on this…

 

[NinjaSwan]

The Demons’ list is so good they defy alphabetical order.

 

[Pugsley]

serial, if you're going to assess the list, look beyond the raw numbers. Increases in posting by Kilroy, Tony Lynn 15 and TheCoach16 are indeed positive. Losing 30 posts a week from Pugsley is also a positive, not a negative. Antonio BlueVein losing interest is a negative. BLUEALLTHRU adding 50 posts per week to an already eye-wateringly high volume is also a negative.

SEASON 31 & 30 NUMBERS
​

IN: Hatchy1992 (Swamprats), schmuttt (returning), DJ75 (rookie).

OUT: MC Bad Genius (Royals), gym4life (delisted), Dr Mantis Taboggan (delisted), fumbler (retired).

ROOKIES

Just the one rookies in Season 32 for the Dragons, with DJ75 (9.5 ppw) getting involved in most match threads.​

LOSSES​

Inactive players gym4life (S31 0.0 ppw) and Dr Mantis Taboggan (S31 0.0 ppw) were delisted, whilst inferior Twenty Questions host MC Bad Genius (S31 27.7 ppw) joined the Royals. fumbler (20.4 ppw) retired partway through the season.​

GAINS​

Hatchy1992 (S31 16.4 ppw) returned from the Swamprats, and schmuttt returned to the league. Hatchy1992 (9.4 ppw) had an interrupted end to his season after a strong start, but schmuttt (0.2 ppw) was not seen after Round 1.​

PLAYERS TRENDS​

A mixed bag for the Dragons this season, with increases from serial_thrilla (from 93.1 to 103 ppw), T2B_ (from 41.1 to 75.9 ppw), A Swallow (from 35.9 to 63.3 ppw), Pie 4 Life (from 9.1 to 26.4 ppw), Stoods (from 4.3 to 28.5 ppw), Knifey Spoony (from 9.0 to 18.3 ppw), Matt_352 (from 19.3 to 23.1 ppw), Mooresome (from 0.0 to 1.4 ppw), Blaze Storm (from 6.6 to 14.8 ppw) and VandoHawk (from 1.0 to 3.9 ppw)​

However this was partially offset by declines from Strigoi (from 78.2 to 62.4 ppw), Bonz (from 69.0 to 65.4 ppw), BringBackTheAnchor (from 12.4 to 5.3 ppw), Ljp86 (from 10.0 to 4.6 ppw), Bradesmaen (from 11.5 to 9.6 ppw) and Ashman OG (from 9.2 to 2.8 ppw).​

TEAM TRENDS​

A slight improvement across the board for the Dragons this season, at a similar level to the average growth across the entire league. A 12.6% increase in total posts from 7,753 to 8,730 posts, the sum of median weekly posts from 408 to 467, and an improvement in the average number of match thread posters from 16.00 to 16.81. The total number of posters from them increased from 20 to 23.​

Their percentage share of match threads remained stable from 52.40% to 53.56% in the sweet spot. Their reliance on their Top 5 Posters decreased slightly from 69.55% to 67.88%, and the number of their players contributing over 5% of their total posts remained at 6...although the number contributing over 10% increased from 3 to a league high 5. The number of their players averaging over 5 and 10 posts per week remained the same at 15 and 11 respectively, but the number averaging over 20 increased from 6 to 9.​

The Dragons once again posted over 300 posts in every match thread this season, but this time they increased the number of 600+ post weeks from 1 to 5. Unlike last season they also managed to tick over 900 posts once this time around (Round 3 vs. the Bombers).

So a fairly steady season for the Dragons for posting output, with a slight improvement across the board. The vast majority of posting increases was from their existing player base though, so fresh blood is likely needed soon.

SEASON 31 & 30 NUMBERS
​

IN: SaintBilly (returning), raskolnikov (returning), daddy_4_eyes (returning), thewizardmelon (rookie), MannumPower (Swamprats), akkaps (returned).

OUT: PMBangers (Royals), Biggie (retired), Hate (Demons), PhenomenalV1 (retired), go you pups (delisted), jusjoshin (delisted), Golumless (Wonders).

​

ROOKIES​

Another club with only one rookie this season, thewizardmelon (20.9 ppw) was very much a success, and should attract a few EKA votes. His counting on the Discord is hit and miss.​

​

LOSSES​

Some big names went out the door in the off-season for the newly branded Phoenix, with their most prolific poster PMBangers (S31 71.3 ppw) leaving for the Royals captaincy, and Biggie (S31 3.7 ppw) and Hate (S31 24.0 ppw) leaving due to the name change. PhenomenalV1 (S31 22.9 ppw) retiring meant they'd lost three of their top eight posters, whilst Chipmunk also cleared out inactive posters go you pups (S31 0.0 ppw) and jusjoshin (S31 0.0 ppw). Golumless (5.6 ppw) left mid-season as part of the three way trade.​

​

GAINS​

SaintBilly (18.6 ppw) returned as his latest profile iteration, but was not sighted after Round 5. raskolnikov (6.3 ppw) and daddy_4_eyes (0.8 ppw) also returned without setting the world on fire, but the Phoenix had much more luck mid-season with MannumPower (47.6 ppw) joining them from the Swamprats, and akkaps (27.6 ppw) jumping across from the Wonders as a delisted free agent.​

​

PLAYERS TRENDS​

With so many outs after Season 31 it was crucial that the core players at the Phoenix remained active and engaging in their match threads until replacements could be found. Skipper Chipmunk (from 45.6 to 44.0 ppw) was steady, as was former captain Agent93 (from 47.4 to 45.3 ppw). Importantly though por_please_ya (from 33.9 to 41.0 ppw), SM (from 36.8 to 43.7 ppw), Itsmyshow (from 8.4 to 19.4 ppw) and eth-dog (from 44.0 to 52.8 ppw) all increased their numbers to help fill the gap. Infamous designer Zoops (from 1.5 to 4.1 ppw) also had a slight boost to his numbers, but the most impressive return to activity was NinjaSwan (from 1.9 to 23.3 ppw).​

A few players did drop away unfortunately, with TY24 (from 15.0 to 0.0 ppw) going inactive, and Red mist (from 3.4 to 0.1 ppw) seldom sighted. Drunkgoliath (from 4.6 to 2.1 ppw) also became less active each week.​

​

TEAM TRENDS​

Despite these improvements the Phoenix were not quite able to cover their big players losses in a single season. Overall posting numbers fell by 10% from 6,576 to 5,948 in a season when most clubs saw gains, whilst the sum of their average median posts dropped from 357 to 330. Worryingly they also saw two less players in their match threads each week from 15.47 to 13.75, although getting akkaps and MannumPower certainly helped. They had 21 total posters for the season once more.​

​

Their match thread contribution dropped from 48.33% to 42.99% which was the second lowest in the league. The reliance on their Top 5 posters decreased though from 63.87% to 60.98% as several players increased their output to offset the loss of the dominant PMBangers, and they increased the number of their posters contributing more than 5% of their total numbers from 8 to 9, and those with more than 10% from 4 to a league high 5. There was also an increase of posters averaging over 10 ppw, from 9 to 11, and those with 20+ ppw from 8 to 9.​

​

The Phoenix failed to reach 300 match thread posts on 5 occasions, up on last season's 3 - whilst they halved their 600+ match thread post weeks from 2 to 1; only managing it in Round 2 vs. the Bears off the back of some massive SaintBilly numbers.​

So the rebuild continues at the Phoenix, with their player losses mostly rectified, particularly after their mid-season player movements. More work needs to be done though, or else they'll get left behind. Squad balance is great, but they'll want to get a few more players in there to bump up that lowly 13.75 players per week figure.​
