Maybe something like this?

Would be good to add something to take into account that a smaller guild of strong members could be stronger than a big guild of weak members. One way is to use a weighted average. This means that you would give more weight to the fight count of the stronger members of the team. For example, you could give the top 20% of the team's members 2x weight, the next 20% 1.5x weight, and the remaining 60% 1x weight. This would give you a more accurate measure of the overall strength of the team.
Also maybe add something to perhaps factor in how long each member has been playing, with maybe an average fight count per year?
