Week 2

MLS Power Rankings Week 2

Ranking	Logo	Team Name	Reason
1		AC Utopia (-)	Of all the teams who have a winning record, they’ve played the hardest schedule. They still top the league in round differential, reaffirming their top spot in these rankings.
2		Segville Lions (+8)	They are statistically the best team in the league. They are a perfect 6-0 and second in the league in round differential. They’ve benefited from an easy schedule, but all signs point this team being a winner.
3		Illirea Dragons (+4)	The second team to have gone a perfect 6-0, so anything lower than here will cause issues. They’ve played the 4th hardest schedule of all teams with a winning record, and they rank behind 6 teams in terms of round differential.
4		Chillington United (-2)	This team is the only team to hand AC Utopia a lose. They haven’t been blown out and don’t lose that many rounds, only behind Spruce United in that category. They can stick in games and are a pain to play against.
5		Zaquar Diamondbacks (-2)	They are a top offensive team in the league, ranking 3rd in winning rounds. They rank 5th in round differential, strength of schedule, and these rankings.
6		Stoneedge Hikers (-1)	They’ve benefited somewhat from the 4th easiest schedule in the league, but a top 3 team in not losing rounds. Defense sustains better than offense, and this team ranks 3rd in round differential because of it.
7		Spruce United (-1)	This team loses the least amount of rounds in the league? Sounds good, but they are middle of the pack in terms of winning rounds. Win some more rounds, and this team could be dangerous.
8		Radiance Square SC (-5)	This team has benefited from the easiest schedule in the league. They are top 5 in offense and round differential, but is that from their schedule? Let’s wait and see.
9		Vulain Demons (-1)	This team has played the second toughest schedule of teams with a winning record. They have been undefeated at home, but struggle on their road.
10		Estify SC (-1)	They’ve also played the second toughest schedule of teams with a winning record (along with Vulain). They have the worst defense of all teams with a winning record, losing 25 rounds. If they play a team which is stinger on allowing goals, it could be trouble for this club.
11		Western East Enders (+1)	This team has played the 3rd toughest schedule in the entire league. The fact they’re round differential is only -4 should be high marks. It would feel unfair to rank them above a winning team, but this team has potential.
12		Waverly Lobsters (-1)	The only thing keeping them this high is their round differential, as it is only -2. This team has drawn two games, won one, and loss three. It’s hard to tell what this team is about until a result can end differently than a draw.
13		Bakersville Steam Engines (+9)	They are one of only three teams who has a won game that is winless at home. They’re great on the road, the playing fairly tough opponents and beating some of them, but they need to take care at home.
14		Laclede United (-1)	This team also has not won a game at home. They are middle of the pack offensively, but their defense needs serious work. They have the 4th worst defense in the league, losing 45 rounds.
15		Waterville Timbers (-)	They’ve played the 5th toughest schedule in the league. They’re defense is 5th worst in the league because of this. They’ve been blown out away from home, but have stood their ground somewhat when at home.
16		Titensaki Ribbits (-2)	It’s never a good sign when 3 of your losses are blowouts and all of your wins are close. This team needs more consistency on offense. Of all teams who have won a game, only the Oakburgh heat have an offense worst.
17		Oakburgh Heat (-1)	This team still has two games left in week one, but so far, their offense has been bad. They have the worst offense of all teams who have won a game, and this shows when they get blown out and barely win games.
18		Corrigan Corgis (+2)	This team’s defense has been somewhat respectable when not playing AC Utopia. They’ve lost close games to the Lions and beat the heat, but jesus those AC Utopia games...
19		Delta City Rhythm (-2)	This team’s defense is tied with Estify SC, a team with a winning record. So whats up? They have the worst offense in the league, only winning 5 (!) rounds, and the only reason they are ranked this high as their round differential only -20.
20		Accerton Lemonanas (-2)	It shouldn’t be a coincidence that teams with bad offenses end up not winning many games. Or any, in this team's case. Their defense is ranked 6th worst, and they’ve been blown out in nearly all of their games.
21		Coruscant Rancors (-)	This team is tied for the worst defense in the league. The only reason that keeps them out of the last spot is because they have an offense that’s been middle of the pack. They have been better on the road then at home.
22		Seaview Space Cats (-3)	They have the second worst offense in the league and the worst defense in the league. They’re round differential is also worst in the league at -56. Not much more to talk about here.
Best Upcoming Matchup		Segville Lions vs Zaquar Diamondbacks	These teams are number 2 and 3 respectively in round differential and offense. Expect a high scoring affair that comes down to the wire.

Week 1

MLS Power Rankings Week 1

Ranking	Logo	Team Name	Reason
1		AC Utopia	This team’s +45 round differential shows how good of a offensive team this team can be. However, the teams they’ve blown out have been so far losing teams. We’ll see how this team fares when the competition gets stronger.
2		Chillington United	This team is tied only for 6th in round differential with +19, but they’ve looked like one of the most balanced teams. They shined against AC Utopia and only lost by one point in the rematch.
T-3		Zaquar Diamondbacks & Radiance Square SC	These teams are going through very similar seasons. Both have similar round differentials (+29 and +27 respectively) and played what it seems to be easy schedules. We’ll see on what each team is about when they play harder competition.
5		Stoneedge Hikers	This team looks incredibly balanced. They have a +12 round differential on the road and a +11 round differential at home. Additionally, they’ve blown all of their games so far. Watch out.
6		Spruce United	Adding a new member helped. They have a +26 round differential after three blowout wins. They have 1 game left, so it’s safe to say this team might be legit after the first half of week 1.
7		Illirea Dragons	This team is good at home. They sport a +14 round differential at home, the 2nd best in MLS, and the teams they play aren’t complete pushovers. They still have two more games left, so this could change.
8		Vulain Demons	They still have two games left, but so far appear to be a better road team. They have +9 round differential on the road, third in MLS, compared to a +1 round differential at home.
9		Estify SC	They have only a +2 round differential, but have played one of the more tougher schedules in the league. They’ve shown they are a better road team, as their +10 round differential would suggest, and if they can figure out how to win games at home, can become a team threatening the guys on top.
10		Segville Lions	They are this low as they have played only 3 games. They have 3 games left against the Space Cats and the Corgis though, two teams who have struggled. They have a +5 round differential, so if they can get those games in and win them, expect them to climb these rankings.
11		Waverly Lobsters	They have a +7 round differential at home but a -3 round differential on the road. If they fix their road issues, they could not only be one of the best in team logos but in the league.
12		Western East Enders	This team is better than their -4 round differential would suggest. They’ve played arguably the toughest schedule in the league. They still win games, keep it close (besides for 6 round blowout), and have pushed teams like the Diamondbacks and Estify. If they can get their round differential in the positive range, they could be accepted as serious contenders.
13		Laclede United	They have faced two serious contenders in AC Utopia and Radiance Square SC. They were blown out badly by AC Utopia, suggesting they could be better than you think. As of now, they have -18 round differential but two games remaining. Lets wait and see.
14		Titensaki Ribbits	This team needs to adjust. They have a -19 round differential but have faced a somewhat tough schedule. However, they tend to get blown out in losses and only win by close margins. Focusing more on staying alive could help this team.
15		Waterville Timbers	Yes, they’ve faced a tough schedule. But this team hasn’t shown the ability to win games even when they were doing friendlies. They get blown out, especially on the road, and until they can keep it close or win games, they might stay in the bottom third of the rankings.
16		Oakburgh Heat	This team could use an offensive boost. When they win, it’s only by close margins. When they lose, they get blown out. They have 3 games remaining.
17		Delta City Rhythm	This team was ranked higher until two blowouts by Spruce United. They remain winless, though they only had a -6 round differential before these matches.
18		Accerton Lemonanas	This team gets blown out a lot. They have a -22 round differential with only 2 game remaining. They are ranked above our last four teams as they have a better round differential.
19		Seaview Space Cats	They have two games left, but all signs point to this team struggling. They have -27 round differential and haven’t shown an ability to challenge other teams.
20		Corrigan Corgis	They have 3 games left and thankfully aren’t playing AC Utopia anymore. They had a -30 round differential (!) against that team. A good end to the week could maybe make us think that was a serious fluke.
21		Coruscant Rancors	This team has 2 games remaining, but have gotten blown out in all 4. They have the worst round differential in the league at -33.
