Sorry I am a bit late getting to these but here are the Power Rankings for the week of October 27th

The plan is to update them on a weekly basis based on results, transfers etc.

#1 The Rajan Stajans - Huge payroll, B3 contender and some convincing wins makes Stajan an easy choice for number 1.

#2 Moth Balls - This weeks biggest mover.

#3 Beanz Odyssey - A bit of a surprise to see this team at 3-0 but I will take it.

#4 Syndicalist BC - A horrible start to the season has seen this squad suffer two devastating loses. I expect that Syndicalist will have this team turned around and headed in the right direction soon.

#5 Lawrence Park Panthers - Mr. Burns appears to be missing in action, this could be the start of a downward spiral for LPP.

#6 Green Machines - The Green Machines are the sixth seed but I should have put them at number 5. Their drop in the standings is not based on their poor play but the solid play of those around them.

#7 Headless Thompson Gunners - Trending upwards are the Gunners. Nice results to start the season, lets see if he can keep it going.

#8 Superfreakys - This team has me confused, I think they should be better that both their ratings and results show. An early exit from the Cup will make the team budget tighter and may prevent them from making further transactions.

#9 Quebec Pugs The Pugs have a small bark at this point but with their current roster should remain in the mix for a playoff berth.

#10 Laval Giants The best of the first time Naismith teams to this point. The Giants are making noise with a small payroll, do they have enough resources to improve into a playoff seed?

#11 Canuckleheads Up a few spots are the Canuckleheads.

#12 The Hounds The Hounds have had a rough start to this season. Lets hope they can turn it around soon otherwise they will be at risk of heading back to division II.

#13 Team Dragon Naismith may not be as fierce as it once was but it still can be nasty. Tough results this week for the Dragons.

#14 Herman Griffins Definitely a solid roster, just not enough elite talent to rank higher. With a low payroll and high income the Griffins could be a threat.

#15 SG United This team is just no good. A severe lack of talent have many thinking they are destined for demotion.

#16 Pszczyna Team Training is the key. Wins, not so much!

Wow, up to 2. Annoyed that I did not know I could play blank last week (I guess I should pay more attention). Game shape is in shambles, I also thought that higher stamina players were supposed to be able to handle more minutes, so I tried it with two players, that was a mistake. I was looking forward to the changes being implemented.
Personally I would drop me a few spots, but I hope to be that high again in the future. Thanks again for doing this.

Thanks for doing the rankings, makes things a bit more interesting. And I had to double-check, but I'm still in the cup.

Lol. My mistake, got you confused.

Fixed

hahaha was wondering when you would see that lol

I think high stamina can (rarely) hurt weekly minutes because players with high stamina tend to play more minutes than they otherwise should. Not usually a problem though.

It is a problem for teams that train
those high stamina guys don't come out at all in SFDC
In a loss they'll pretty much play the whole game

The top 4 each look very capable of becoming the one single dominant team in this league. The top 6-9 are all quite good and several others are a simple role-player away from being scary too.

edit: eek

Well I have planned to complete these every Wednesday so here is the rankings for October 29th.

#1 The Rajan Stajans - Whether he wants to admit it or not the Rajan Stajans are the class of Naismith. Currently they are putting up tremendous defensive ratings which will keep them in every game they play.

#2 Beanz Odyssey - Hard to place this team for obvious reasons. The Odyssey are putting up very solid offensive flow ratings and still don't seem to have found their offensive strategy.

#3 Syndicalist BC - Despite their slow start I think this 2 and 2 team is posed to be a contender down the stretch. Their large payroll and ultra talented players will have them trending upwards all season.

# 4 Moth Balls - Despite their record and mediocre results, the smelly balls are good. Don't expect to see them stay at .500 for long. They have been beat by Stajan and a desperate team on more effort.

#5 Headless Thompson Gunners - HTG or HGH? The Gunners have made quick work of their opponents this season and put some significant beatings on teams. The are running with a low salary but putting up strong ratings thanks to solid management.

#6 Lawrence Park Panthers - Mr. Burns is back...maybe or so we hope. This veteran team has enough talent to compete but is likely on the decline with players starting to drop skills, they have also had major struggles with GS to start the year.

#7 Superfreakys - Still confused by this team, but now confused and scared. Coming off a road victory with less effort the "Freaks" are on the rise. The team is talented well beyond their record and their ratings are starting to improve.

#8 Green Machines - Up, down, up, down. Not sure where the Green machines should slot but they have bounced around so far. They will almost certainly be a playoff team but have not put up consistent efforts as of yet.

#9 Quebec Pugs The Pugs sit at 3 and 1 based off of a soft schedule and some extra effort. This team will be in the hunt come playoff time based off of Sparky's enthusiasm and solid management.

#10 Laval Giants I wanted to put the Giants higher than the 10th seed but there are just too many good teams ahead of them. Their 3 wins to start the season is a great start and has them right in the mix. The big question is if they can keep it up or if they can add to the roster to become a true contender.

#11 Canuckleheads Holding steady are the Canuckleheads. The manager has put together a solid team but is still a few pieces from being a playoff team.

#12 The Hounds The Hounds are in tough with the current roster. Don't put it past their experienced manager to load up to avoid relegation or even make the playoffs, they always love a dog fight.

#13 Team Dragon This dragon is spitting fur balls at the moment. They do hold a few very solid pieces but will need to add to the roster to make any major noise in Naismith.

#14 Herman Griffins Experienced manager with a big income...Is this what they call tanking? Or is someone waiting to strike at the right time.

#15 SG United SG United is racing to the bottom. Not anywhere close to enough talent to compete, this club looks to be on the way out.

#16 Pszczyna Team He'll be back. Pro of a manager focused on training for the time being.
