Hello! I would like to present you the ranking of the best scoring teams in defensive statistics, but without deeper analysis, but more for fun. I called it DPS (defensive points score), which I included hits, takeaways and blocked shots. So it is the sum of these three variables, with one modification, which I will write about later. If we can appreciate players for goals and assists, we can also appreciate the contribution to defensive work, so this is a statistic intended for hard workers.


In the first week of the season 82, Dieter Fruhstuck from Minnesota Monarchs collected the most points. Two representatives from Toronto also ranked second and fourth respectively. San Francisco Pride can boast the same number of players in the top ten - in third and fifth place.


Naturally, their work rate is not commensurate with the team's overall performance in the season, so I decided to use +/- changes for more dynamics. That's why Ho Lee-Smokes from Chicago jumps from tenth to first. However, the two from San Francisco are still holding high, in third and fifth place. Crazy Tomato II is also holding high, in second position.


I also decided to use this data for the overall team picture, without using the +/- variable, because it would be quite a turnaround. Thus, the North Stars confirm their defensive activity with over a hundred points over San Diego (the largest advantage in the first week). The teams from Philadelphia and Edmonton clearly lag behind in this respect.
