Cool idea of how to rank, Alex. That said, my starting LF is Ryan Ludwick, not Duda. It's your decision where you put him, but I'd put him second or third. Plus, what's the point of Mid-FA? Some teams haven't even made pursuits yet really.

I think one thing that would need to be measured is the gap between different places. This doesn't account big drop offs or anything.

I think that is the problem with doing it by position. However, it is a good idea, and I was happy with how it turned out

Yeah, it's not perfect, but you accomplished good rankings without using any complex calculations. I can dig it.

Also, lots of power rankings lately here, no?
