Minors League post-season attribute averages BELL CURVES OMG

[Jeanious]

Hello everyone. Here are the post-season average attributes with a quick comparison to the pre-season average attributes, you can find the article here.

Acceleration


Acceleration has improved noticeably since the pre-season with the league average rising from 16.78 to 17.28. That ~0.5 increase is significant for an attribute that was already extremely high. The league has become even more explosive off the mark as the season went on. The pre-season bell curve already showed a competition packed towards the upper end and the new average made that even more compact, there really is no room for slow players in the league. With so many players on a elite level of acceleration it shows you cannot rally compete if you can't keep up in the league.



The top ten has managed to produce another complete traffic jam at the maximum. Orlando Mastache Maldonado, Henry Fantobens, Matt Oopsie Wrongsport Turk, Resetti Moretti, Ozzy Trent Kovács, Matt Stro, Billy Elliott, Eden Empire IV, Jakob Fensterhausen and Dáibhí Barr all have 20. Meaning every single player in the top ten has reached the absolute maximum level of acceleration. Compared to the pre-season list only a handful of names remain, but that doesn't really matter, you're just getting a shoutout here. Ten players sharing first place and absolutely nobody willing to give us a definitive fastest accelerator.

Agility


Agility has improved noticeably since the pre-season with the league average rising from 12.63 to 13.18. That increase suggests the Minors League has become more capable of being quick on their feet and make sharp turns on a whim. While acceleration and pace remain heavily concentrated at the top, agility still provides more separation between players. You however won't see this separation at the elite level but more in the lower group.



The top ten is led by six players on the maximum of 20. Joseph Daniel Kakou, Domingo Hernández, Turd Ferguson, Rean Schwarzer, Matt Stro and Benecio Aguilera III all share first place while Duncan Walrusson sits just behind on 19. Eden Empire IV, Ben Nelson and Evan Hunt complete the top ten on 18. Compared to the pre-season rankings the names have changed considerably. Only Matt Stro remains from the original group of players on 20. The top end is still packed with catlike humans, but this time the competition has become even more crowded.

Jumping reach


Jumping reach has improved significantly since the pre-season with the league average rising from 11.12 to 12.09. That increase of almost a full point shows aerial ability has become noticeably stronger across the league as a whole. The pre-season average showed a select group of players specialising in jumping reach but the new figure points towards a broader improvement with more players now capable of competing at a higher level in the air than before. The gap between ordinary players and the aerial specialists still exists but the overall standard has clearly risen.



The top ten is dominated by players reaching the maximum of 20. Scat Cat, Silver Tarandus, Ozzy Trent Kovács, Resetti Moretti, Matt Stro, Jakob Fensterhausen and Benjamin Munro all share first place while Luke Walker, Mikko Rashford II and Arsène N'Goussou complete the top ten on 19. Compared to the pre-season rankings, Jakob Fensterhausen and Matt Stro remain among the elite while the rest of the top ten has changed considerably. With seven players now sitting on 20 the league certainly hasn't become any easier to beat in the air.

Pace


Pace has improved from an already ridiculous pre-season level with the league average rising from 16.81 to 17.23. That increase shows just how fast the Minors League is with the average player now sitting comfortably above 17, they are all a fast bunch. The pre-season data already showed a bell curve heavily weighted towards the upper end and the higher average suggests that concentration has become even stronger. To compete in the league you really need raw speed or else you'll always be too slow.



The top ten once again provides absolutely no answer to the question of who is fastest, since apparently we are all equally fast because we can't go above 20. Henry Fantobens, Oscar Acton, Lisfor ilovezeagLe, Nico Lam, Resetti Moretti, Matt Stro, Billy Elliott, Eden Empire IV, Ozzy Trent Kovács and Jakob Fensterhausen all sit on the maximum of 20, creating another ten way tie for first place. Compared to the pre-season list, five players remain from the original group, it's more about getting that shoutout though because it doesn't matter when so many have the maximum of 20. The first one to find a way to get 20 pace will forever be  the coolest.

Strength


Strength has improved from the pre-season average of 10.70 to 11.31, continuing the overall trend of the Minors League becoming more physically capable as the season has gone on. Even with that increase strength is nothing compared to the league's ridiculous levels of pace and acceleration. The distribution will still show a clearer separation between the physical powerhouses of the league and the larger group of players sitting around the middle.



Matt Stro remains completely unchallenged at the top with 20 strength and still establishing himself as the strongest player in the league, Matt Stro was actually seen benching 1000LBS for paused reps. Behind him Luke Walker, Jakob Fensterhausen, Don Lorenzo, Ben Nelson, Damian DeSoto and Nick Dusk form a large chasing group on 18 strength. Rokuv Gibraltar, Mikko Rashford II and Orlando Mastache Maldonado complete the top ten with 16. Compared to the pre-season rankings, Matt Stro is still the only player at the very top. Jakob Fensterhausen and Mikko Rashford II are also still among the league's strongest. Apparently Matt Stro has decided that being one the fastest wasn't enough and needed to remain the strongest too.

Anticipation


Anticipation has improved from the pre-season average of 12.60 to 13.11. Continuing to show that the league is becoming stronger across several attributes. The increase shows that players are not only more physically capable since pre-season but are also becoming better at reading situations and getting into the right position.



The top of the rankings has become significantly stronger than it was at the pre-season. Wang Zhihao, Benecio Aguilera III, Billy Elliott, Ozzy Trent Kovács and Jakob Fensterhausen all reach the maximum of 20 anticipation while Arsène N'Goussou follows on 19. Eden Empire IV, Silver Tarandus, Ben Nelson and Duncan Walrusson complete the top ten on 18. Compared to the pre-season rankings, Billy Elliott, Ozzy Trent Kovács and Jakob Fensterhausen remain as the elite. The five players on 20 now form an impressive group of players who seemingly know what's going to happen before everyone else does, almost like magic.

Bravery


Bravery has increased ever so slightly since the pre-season with the league average moving from 6.59 to 6.68. It remains one of the lowest average attributes in the league. Showing us that throwing yourself into dangerous or physical situations is not something most players want to do. The small increase suggests there has been some movement at the higher end but brave is not how I would describe this league.



Don Lorenzo now stands alone at the top with 15 bravery, two points clear of the chasing group. JG Wentworth, Damian DeSoto, David Doug II, Cameron Millwall and Stephan Lichsteiner all share second place on 13 while Nick Dusk follows on 12. Austin Morley, Bérangère-Amandine Bruère-Estrangin and Jaime Ureña complete the top ten on 11. Compared to the pre-season rankings JG Wentworth, David Doug II and Stephan Lichsteiner remain as the leaders but Don Lorenzo has now pushed past everyone to claim the highest bravery rating in the league. Lorenzo has shown that self preservation is a weakness, and he is right.

Decisions


Decision making has improved a decent amount since the pre-season with the league average rising from 10.40 to 10.96. The increase suggests we might have some players that have moved closer to the higher end of the scale even though decisions remains more evenly distributed. The bell curve will show whether that improvement has come from a general shift across the league or a stronger group of elite decision makers pulling the average upwards.



The top of the rankings has become more crowded with five players sharing first place on 18. Steven Urkel, Hanibal Armaros, Howie Dewitt, Mikko Rashford IV and Florian Gaisberg all have reached 18 in decision making while Jean Girard, Rokuv Gibraltar, Dáibhí Barr, Pope Francis and Damian DeSoto form the next group on 17. Compared to the pre-season rankings, Steven Urkel, Howie Dewitt, Mikko Rashford IV, Florian Gaisberg, Rokuv Gibraltar and Pope Francis all remain in the top ten while the new additions have pushed the competition at the top even further. Five players on 18 means there is very little separating the league's best decision makers.

Flair


Flair has basically not changed since pre-season, because let's be real, its a useless attribute but fun to look at anyway. The league average moved from 6.83 to 6.82. That tiny decrease suggests that someone has regressed and decreased flair, wrong choice buddy. The Minors League still has roughly the same attitude towards creativity and improvisation. The bell curve will once again show a strong concentration towards the lower end.



Arthur Cain, Billy Elliott and Robbie Schuurmans share the top spot on 15 hile Dave Oliver, Pope Francis, Arsène N'Goussou and Zay Bailey form the next group on 14. Dáibhí Barr, Stan Smith and Stig Stampe complete the top ten on 13. Compared to the pre-season rankings rthur Cain, Billy Elliott, Robbie Schuurmans, Pope Francis, Arsène N'Goussou and Zay Bailey all remain among the league's coolest players.

Vision


Vision has improved slightly since the pre-season with the league average rising from 9.12 to 9.54. The increase is small compared to some of the physical attributes but it still shows a gradual improvement in the league's ability to recognise passing opportunities. Vision is still one of the more mid range attributes. Neaning there is still plenty of separation between functional awareness and the elite playmakers. The bell curve shows whether that improvement has come from a broader shift across the league or a stronger upper end.



Pope Francis and Kim Heung-Min share the top spot on 17 while Stan Smith and Benecio Aguilera III follow closely on 16. Steven Urkel, Evan Hunt, Hanibal Armaros, Dáibhí Barr, Hans Grudnar and Arsène N'Goussou complete the top ten on 15. Compared to the pre-season rankings Pope Francis remains at the top while Kim Heung-Min has dropped slightly from his previous 18 but still sits near the top. Steven Urkel, Hans Grudnar and Arsène N'Goussou also remain in the leading group although the overall top ten has seen plenty of turnover.

Dribbling


Dribbling has improved since the pre-season as well with the league average rising from 11.58 to 11.96. The increase is small but it continues the broader trend of the Minors League becoming slightly stronger across its technical attributes. The bell curve shows a large group around the middle with a smaller elite group separating themselves at the top. With so many players capable of some decent dribbling, consistently beating opponents with the ball at their feet still remains as a specialised skill.



Eden Empire IV, Bob Berendsen, Silver Tarandus, Billy Elliott and Ozzy Trent Kovács all have the maximum of 20 dribbling creating a five way tie at the top. Arsène N'Goussou and Ben Nelson follow on 19 while Don Lorenzo, Mikko Rashford II and Weston McNuggie complete the top ten on 18. Compared to the pre-season rankings Billy Elliott, Silver Tarandus, Ozzy Trent Kovács and Bob Berendsen remain as the elite while Eden Empire IV has now joined them at the maximum. The top of this attribute is capable of defeating anyone with the ball at their feet.

Heading


Heading has improved from the pre-season average of 7.94 to 8.27. Continuing the general rise we've seen across the league's physical and technical attributes. It remains as one of the lowest rated attributes overall but the increase shows players are becoming slightly more capable in the air. The bell curve will still show a strong concentration towards the lower end meaning genuine heading specialists remain relatively uncommon despite the improvement in the league average.



Mikko Rashford II leads the rankings by a huge margin with 19 heading standing(or not standing hehe) four points clear of Martin Krpan and Mecha Zilla who share second place on 15. Previously we Zaza Banana was leading this attribute but he has moved to the Majors or passed away. Berit Skovgaard and Austin Morley follow on 14 while Bérangère-Amandine Bruère-Estrangin, Jakob Fensterhausen, King Szarekh, Cameron Millwall and Rokuv Gibraltar complete the top ten on 13 heading. Compared to the pre-season rankings Mikko Rashford II has climbed from 15 to 19 while Martin Krpan, Mecha Zilla, Berit Skovgaard and Jakob Fensterhausen remain among the league's strongest headers. Mikko has clearly decided that jumping high wasn't enough and now wants to actually know what to do with the ball when he gets up there.

Passing


Passing has improved slightly since the pre-season with the league average rising from 10.53 to 10.93. The increase is small but continues the broader trend of the Minors League developing stronger technical attributes as the season(s) goes on. Passing remains around the middle of the overall attribute spread. Most players are capable of functioning in possession while a smaller group separates themselves as the top playmakers. The bell curve shows a clear distribution.



Florian Gaisberg stands alone at the top with an impressive 18 passing and overtakes pre-season leader Aimo Silakka, who seems to have disappeared completly. He is either dead or moved to the Majors squad. Pope Francis and Dave Oliver follow on 17 while Dáibhí Barr and Hanibal Armaros sit on 16. Steven Urkel, Owen Bryant, Bob Berendsen, Franz van Grimbergen and Damian DeSoto complete the top ten on 15. Compared to the pre-season rankings, Pope Francis, Dave Oliver, Steven Urkel and Bob Berendsen remain among the leading passers while Florian Gaisberg has made the biggest jump to claim the top spot.

Tackling


We see a slight improvement in tackling since the pre-season with the league average rising from 8.40 to 8.62. It remains one of the lower rated attributes in the Minors League, with the bell curve likely to remain weighted towards the lower end. Even with the improvement, high level tackling is still concentrated among a relatively small group of players. Probably because only defenders need this ability and we are not discriminating positions here.



Damian DeSoto and Florian Gaisberg share the top spot on 18 tackling with Austin Morley and Don Lorenzo following on 16. Bérangère-Amandine Bruère-Estrangin, Marco Tentacles, Mecha Zilla, Jordan Bamford, Ron Wince and Rokuv Gibraltar complete the top ten on 15 tackling. Compared to the pre-season rankings, Florian Gaisberg remains among the very best but has been joined at the top by Damian DeSoto, while Rokuv Gibraltar and Ron Wince also retain their places in the top group. The top end has changed considerably but the league still has a small collection of players capable of standing out as the best tacklers.
