Power Rankings Spring Season - Week Three

2016 SPRING SEASON POWER RANKINGS
RANKTEAMRECORDUP/DOWNCOMMENTS
1Emaan2-0-0A 6-2 demolish of Ihsan puts Emaan at the top of the Power Rankings this week.  The chemistry between Gehad Alhundi and Yousuf Sowdagar is well known but last game they combined for 11 points and are top two in league scoring with teammate Ibrahim Hindy in third.  Their offense is tops and goalie is strong so everything is looking great for this team.
2Haya2-0-0Another win over a shorthanded opposition, Haya is taking advantage of their opponents woes so hard to judge how good this team really is.
3Shukr1-1-0Injuries finally caught up with them and yet they gave Haya a big challenge last week despite a patchwork lineup.  They need to get healthy quickly as they do not want to lose ground in their quest for first place.
4Ihsan0-1-1Ihsan was missing two forwards in their game last week but it was their team defense that was exposed in a 6-2 blowout loss to Emaan.  They need to get everyone back and on the same page as things looked bleak after Week Two.
5Ikhlas0-1-1Ikhlas was off on a bye for Week Three and hopefully took the time to sort out their struggling offense as just a goal in their first two games is far below expectations considering the offensive talent on this squad.
6Sabr0-2-0Sabr was off on a bye for Week Three and more than anything need to make sure that they get everyone to show up which has been a drag on this talented squads potential over their first two games.

Power Rankings Spring Season - Week Two

2016 SPRING SEASON POWER RANKINGS
RANKTEAMRECORDUP/DOWNCOMMENTS
1Shukr1-0-0Shukr comes off a bye in Week Two and faces Haya who like Shukr won in their debut making this an early game for first place.  Rumours of some injury issues are cause for concern but Coach K is confident that his squad is still the team to beat this season.
2Haya1-0-0Haya comes off a bye week and need to show that their Week One win wasn’t a fluke as they face one of the top contenders in Shukr.
3Emaan1-0-0A close in in Week One was a surprise given how talented this squad is but they will take it as they look to Week Two and a chance to move to the top of the table with a win over Ihsan.
4Ihsan0-0-1Ihsan came away with a 0-0 tie in their debut but surely feel that they should have gotten more had it not been for the heroics of Yusuf Kapoor in net for Ikhlas.
A date with Emaan looms in Week Three which will be a good measure for this team.
5Ikhlas0-1-1After showing up shorthanded in Week One and paying the price, Ikhlas recovered of sorts with a 0-0 tie against Ihsan who were making their debut.  Yusuf Kapoor stood on his head to get his team the tie so hopefully their offence can get going as they only have one goal to show after two games.
6Sabr0-2-0A tough loss in Week Two to Emaan who were making their debut puts Sabr at the bottom of the table.  Missing players have hurt this squad and if they can get everyone to show up they can turn things around quickly.  They have Week Three off to figure things out.
