On Hate's Sweet FA+, each player profile indicates where that player is ranked - in the history of the league - for a large range of statistics. Here is my page, for example (see the "League Rank" column):

What I'd like to know is who has the best 'Sum of Ranks'. That is, the smallest cumulative number ranking across desired statistics like hitouts, kicks, marks, handballs, tackles, goals, and DT points. Let's take a look at some league favourites:

Tarkyn_24
  • Hitouts: 65th
  • Kicks: 3rd
  • Marks: 45th
  • Handballs: 35th
  • Tackles: 6th
  • Goals: 1st
  • DT: 3rd
  • Total: 158
TheInjuryFactory
  • Hitouts: 454th
  • Kicks: 92nd
  • Marks: 303rd
  • Handballs: 82nd
  • Tackles: 16th
  • Goals: 210th
  • DT: 88th
  • Total: 1,245
Mobbs
  • Hitouts: 127th
  • Kicks: 12th
  • Marks: 2nd
  • Handballs: 10th
  • Tackles: 74th
  • Goals: 90th
  • DT: 15th
  • Total: 330
serial_thrilla
  • Hitouts: 300th
  • Kicks: 216th
  • Marks: 156th
  • Handballs: 188th
  • Tackles: 278th
  • Goals: 525th
  • DT: 221st
  • Total: 1,884
So, so far, the order would be:
  1. Tarkyn_24 (158)
  2. Mobbs (330)
  3. TheInjuryFactory (1,245)
  4. serial_thrilla (1,884)

How about you, Sweet? Who can you think of who might top the sum of ranks? And how does your own career look?

Nice idea. Hitouts is a very niche, one position per team/game amasser though. How come you’ve included hitouts Headless?
That's fair - could easily do a version without! I wasn't really sure on which ones to include. How would you structure it?

This is biased towards the elders of Sweet.

I think without hitouts the formula you have is pretty bloody spot on.

Look at Crowwy, recorded his first ever hit out like two seasons ago I think haha.
4 in S29
52 in S31 thanks to yours truly and he certainly let me know how much he appreciated it

It's also biased towards those who hoard the best on-field positions.

You should instead be recognising those who selflessly toil away in the non-glory roles.
Totally agree! Hit me with the lowest sum of ranks you can find, serial!

I think the most selfless player is obvious.



Roylion.
Have stopped using hitouts now, and added my score for a comparison (77 more games).

Roylion (467 games):
  • Kicks: 62nd
  • Marks: 14th
  • Handballs: 55th
  • Tackles: 190th
  • Goals: 46th
  • DT: 58th
  • Total: 425 (0.91 points per game)
Headless (544 games):
  • Kicks: 31st
  • Marks: 9th
  • Handballs: 21st
  • Tackles: 90th
  • Goals: 67th
  • DT: 31st
  • Total: 249 (0.46 points per game)

So yes, I'd say Roylion is about twice as selfless as Headless.

Hmmm, we're almost there. But those with multiple premierships and All-SFA selections need to be penalised somehow.
