Power Rankings - Spring Season - Week One

2017 SPRING SEASON POWER RANKINGS
RANK	TEAM	RECORD	UP/DOWN	COMMENTS
1	Yaqeen	1-0-0		Yaqeen looked dominant in their opening game of the season with a 6-0 destruction of Emaan.  Their top players performed and with were without a pair of sleeper picks who they are hoping will give the team an even bigger boost.
2	Ridha	1-0-0		Ridha rode a strong second half to an easy 4-0 win over Haya.  Their top line dominated play and despite a flurry of trades that remade their roster after the draft there was clearly some good chemistry.  Their challenge may be that they seem a bit thin on defense so perhaps another trade is in the works to resolve that gap.
3	Sabr	1-0-0		Sabr won their game but their effort is a bit harder to gauge here as while they defeated Ihsan but a 4-2 score the game was closer than you would expect.  Ihsan was hampered with injuries yet kept this game close but that said it is hard to question the core of this team which is comprised of last season's champions.
4	Ikhlas	0-0-1		Ikhlas looked great for most of the game last week but a late penalty cost them as Shukr was able to steal a tie.  Their offense and defense looked strong and Yusuf Kapoor made some spectacular saves.  Expect big things from this team as the season progresses.
5	Shukr	0-0-1		Shukr looked good in week one but seemed to be getting too cute with passing which cost them.  The team looks well balance but may need another sniper to finish opportunities in front of the net.
6	Ihsan	0-1-0		Ihsan was hit with early season injury issues in Week One that is likely to weigh them down early in the season.  Goalie Ahmad Mobin suffered a lower body injury and is week to week while Young Star Humza Chaudhry also suffered a lower body injury but is considered a game time decision.
7	Haya	0-1-0		Haya looked overwhelmed in Week One so the pressure is on to put out a better performance in Week Two against Sabr.  GM Abdul-Wahab Mohammad had to have expected more from the veteran squad that he drafted and will look for them to rebound this week.
8	Emaan	0-1-0		Emaan suffered a humbling 6-0 beatdown in Week One.  They were without Yousuf Soliman who was a late scratch for the game with a lower body injury and took the reigns as coach.  They have to hope that he is able to dress this week and reunite the Soliman brother line (Hany, Yousuf and Osama) who provide size, speed and skill.
