Parker, I am still of the opinion that league stats are the least biased measure of how good your opponents are. I also feel that a better stat on the league stats page would be your average finish instead of the average league points.
Average finish would be a simple calculation that would tell you the strength of your opponents. It would be calculated by assigning 1 point for each 1st place finish, 2 points for each second and so on. Add all the points up and divide by the total number of leagues played and you will have a useful statistic. A perfect score would be 1.0 while the worst would be 8.0 and the true average would be 4.5.
I sampled a few players and made the calculation.
The top 5 league winners were all around 2.6 to 3.0 while I did calculate DBurke to be at an amazing 1.8. This number could even be used as a parameter for challenge leagues.
Opinins please!! Interesting point, but, if it hasn't been corrected of late, the league stats are not updated since a couple of years. Besides that my point is that if you want more and better opponents you must play with them even if they are green. |
