The first 2010 power rankings are out! For those of you unfamiliar with these here is what you need to know. Every Tuesday after game day, the rankings come out and comment on the current trends in the league. The power rankings serve as a barometer on how you are judged within the league in terms of team strength until around week 15 when the trading deadline hits. It is important to know that a teams win-loss record is not a huge factor. The rankings are based on the current trends happening in the BSL. Its a regular who's hot and who's not. 
It should be no surprise which club is #1 ranked after opening kick. This honor goes to St.Louis. The Cure's offense bested everyone and it was done with several players, not some hat trick. At the bottom of the spectrum is Gateway United. Its hard to win scoring only 1 point and for one game at least the Saints posed little threat to its opposition.
Now a little history. The Champion Monarchs lost opening kick last year, so losing game one is not a big catastrophe.
Just as it should be: Cure on top, Gateway on bottom.
ReplyDeleteThis sickens me
ReplyDeleteAs long as I'm in front of the Goons my season objective is complete.
ReplyDeleteSo now that the MLS has expanded it DP rule to allow for 2 DP's and trade for another does this mean the BSL will do the same next year. It looks like the current DP rule was a copy of MLS old DP rules where you get 1 DP and could trade for another.

ReplyDeleteThis news is so fresh that I haven't had time to think about it. As of now just enjoy this season and assume that you can only keep 1 player on your roster and maybe trade for another DP.
ReplyDeleteNear the end of this season its definitely something worth thinking about. I always like to digest the pro's and con's to changing a rule. As always opinions are welcome. I only ask that you be subjective and not just think how it can help your immediate team.
