Apologies if this has been brought up before, but is there a reason why we used Fumble Recoveries as an IDP stat rather than Fumbles Forced? It would seem to me that FF is more representative a skill whereas FR is just being lucky or in the right spot.

Re: Fumbles
It has been brought up numerous times, but some of the owners feel that the actual turnover is more important. You could have 4 forced fumbles, but if your team doesn't recover any of them they don't really matter. I myself would prefer one point for a forced fumble and 3 points for a fumble recovery.

Re: Fumbles
I agree with that part of it, but I think forcing them should be worth something. I think FF is what separates some of the average IDP from the elite IDP. I don't think it would make a HUGE difference in scoring because the player with the most FF last year only had 7, but recovered 0.Oompa Midgets wrote:It has been brought up numerous times, but some of the owners feel that the actual turnover is more important.
