Breaking Down the Numbers
The chart above illustrates this concept clearly. Ella Stevens, for example, has a relatively modest goal contribution of 10 compared to Sophia Smith’s impressive 18. Yet, Stevens’ contributions are worth three more points to her team than Smith’s.
Another striking example is Temwa Chawinga. Despite contributing an extraordinary 26 goals, her efforts translate to an even more impressive 29 points for the Kansas City Current. This demonstrates how point contributions can sometimes surpass the raw numbers of goals and assists, emphasizing the critical timing and impact of those contributions.
What if...?
Here, you can "travel" to an alternate universe and see the impact of removing a specific player's goal contributions. Simply select the player whose contributions you want to eliminate, and the tool will show how many points their team would lose and how far they would drop in the league standings.
