Owner Ratings: Final 2019

Remember when we dug into owner ratings at the end of December? Well the formula was Games Played + Moves + Wins. Now we're back to take a look at how the final 2019 owner ratings worked out.

[Google Sheet]

Our top five owners at the turn were Eddie, Thien, Trieu, Brian, Evan. Now that has changed to Eddie, Trieu, Brian, Evan, Jon. Okay so that didn't change all that much, but that's likely explained mostly by how the end-of-season wins column got added in.

Similarly, our bottom five owners remained mostly static, with the exception of Jimmy sliding down as Randall moved up a slot.

Games Played
Securing the top prize for Games Played is Roger, who despite pulling some players in WK20 to secure a seed, edged out Eddie by +1 game (530 to 529) for GP. Congratulations! Of course, Buffy also holds the distinction of being the only non-playoff team of the top five GP owners...

Looking at disparities between GP and wins, we can see who used the least number of games to acquire the most number of wins. Evan's Chunky Monkeys were a sterling +8 here as they had the tenth most GP but tied for second most regular season wins. Jimmy and Randall were right behind Evan at +5 and +4 in this category, respectively.

Roger "led" the way in the other direction, playing the first most GP but grinding out only the eleventh most wins for a -11 calculation here. There was a three way tie after Roger with -4 GP/W ratio, with were achieved by Thien, Frank, and Oliver.

In total we had fifty-two early maxed out weeks this season, thereafter referred to as "mismanagement." Our bottom five Games Played owners -- Josh, Jimmy, Brandon, Dave, Felipe -- accounted for a whopping forty of them, or 76.9%. Felipe led the way with fourteen mismanagement weeks while new owner Dave racked up eleven.

Coaches that didn't have a single mismanagement week: Roger, Frank, Brian, and Eddie. Attendance medals for these four! 🏅

Taking the top/bottom outliers out, the average Games Played per week was 24.9 per week.

Moves
As usual, Thien led the league in Moves, with a whopping 102 -- that's 5.1 a week! -- while Trieu and Brian were a distant second and third with 39 and 34 moves respectively. We saw no moves from both Brandon and Dave. What gives?!

Both Thien and Frank had much higher moves than wins, with Thien ranking a -9 for moves/wins ratio, while Frank was -5 for the same calculation. On the other end of the spectrum, Spade was a whopping +8 as they made only the thirteenth most moves but emerged with a tied for fifth best wins in the regular season. Similarly, Jon was a +5 in the moves/win ratio.

Taking the top/bottom outliers out, the average moves per franchise was 15.5, or about 0.78 moves per week.

Trades
Moving players aren't an indication of a good or bad owner, but trades are fun and the life/rumor blood of any league! We had a sterling twelve trades this season -- including our first actual three-way -- but it was basically a Jon and Trieu show as Jon was involved in eight of those trades and Trieu five. Eddie, Frank, Jimmy, and Thien snuck in two trades apiece though! Where were you Evan, aka our third most often trading owner?!
