October 19, 2016

The 2016 ottoneu season has come and gone, so it’s time to take a look at the final power rankings of the season. How many teams broke the FGPts record? Where did your league(s) end up in the rankings? Let’s find out!

For reference, here are links to prior editions of the power rankings (April, May,June, July, August).

Here are the final FanGraphs points league team rankings (1,340 teams):

Top 10 FGPTS Teams by Points

LgNum	TeamName	G	IP	PPG	PIP	Points
194	The Murder Boners	1,937	1,524.2	6.15	6.19	21,349.4
81	Smell the Glove – None more black	1,942	1,509.2	6.38	5.84	21,204.8
430	Britton Yu Crazy Diamond	1,953	1,518.2	6.27	5.77	21,004.7
248	Piedmont Boll Weevils	1,944	1,517.2	6.29	5.75	20,953.1
240	Miguel’s Caballeros ??	1,946	1,510.2	5.92	6.01	20,599.2
32	The Yastrzemskinators	1,954	1,515.2	6.21	5.57	20,576.8
26	Winnetka Cubs	1,943	1,518.0	6.03	5.80	20,519.5
52	Lucky Strikes ??	1,949	1,528.2	5.70	6.14	20,491.4
52	Durham Tobacconists	1,940	1,530.2	6.08	5.66	20,453.1
26	Spa City Thoroughbreds	1,948	1,515.2	6.10	5.60	20,366.7

A couple quick notes- the games played column is calculated by myself and not taken directly from the standings so there may be some rounding or other errors causing some teams to show more than 1,944 games, and these rankings are obviously no longer based on pace projected points but rather actual final season points.

When all was said and done there ended up being six teams eclipsing the prior record of 20,530, with one more team just barely missing that mark. 2016 FGPts teams averaged 5.25 Pts/G (up from 4.92 in 2015) and 4.94 Pts/IP (down from 5.14 in 2015). Scoring was up across the board in 2016, as the average champion this year scored 19,227.3 points, up from the 2015 average champion score of 18,784.40. There were similar increases at every single standings position.

Here are the FGPTS league power rankings (112 leagues):
