Yeah, that's the basic general assumptions to make.
Last year I had only done the 16 playoff teams and ranked them
here.
And I just rated each teams offense, defense, and goal keeping on a scale of 1 to 5, then combined them to give an overall. I was happy with how the rankings turned out, and how fairly close they were. Even though Gondolin was ranked 5th I thought they were one of the super powers and they wound up winning. Vinyamar was 6th, and finished 2nd. With Mithrim finishing 3rd and Utumno 4th, so I was quite pleased with how that turned out last year.
However, that took so much time it was impossible for me to keep up, so this year I just basically did the same thing as
Nilp, ranked teams from 1 to 32, and just kept the goal keeping part, since I do think goalies play a significant enough role in a teams chances, that they should be separated from the defense.
Then I've just been eye-balling everything and going from there. It also helps that someone else is doing it, to double-check against.
I just wish I had better success at picking the right players for my team, I've never done well at that, other than a few years ago, refusing to follow the Miriel bandwagon.
