1. Ottawa 3-0 (+22 GD)
Just got their 3th shutout in 3 seasons...There were 0 shutouts in seasons 1-9. This team is just so good, it's sad to think that they'll be depleted next season though, losing Death, Tiny, Squikers, and probably Dead. They'll ride off into the sunset with an ISL title though if they keep up their current form. Death and Tiny look even more unstoppable than usual and the GK depth is outstanding. They have used 3 different GKs this season, but are 32/35 on saves, a stat you have to look twice at before believing it's true.
2. Tampa Bay 2-1 (+14 GD)
Don't be fooled by the 13-10 scoreline, this team was up 10-2 then put on the subs which made the scoreline seem close in the end. This is the only team that can unseat Ottawa atm. Hardys, Han, and XG are all in just their 2nd season, but the trio is already looking like one of the best trios in ISL history. The bench isn't bad, but they definitely aren't up to the level of the big 3 and is in trouble if 2 of those 3 players don't show up.
3. Orlando 1-2 (-10 GD)
Spots 3-5 is really a clusterfk. This spot could go to Hartford or Washington, but I'll give it to the team that won today, and that's Orlando. This team was looking right at an 0-3 start, facing a Washington team with almost their entire team there while Orlando only had 2 players at the start of their game. Moldy was on an iPad and they were playing a rookie making his league debut in the outfield, but they still came out with a win. This team is also kind of loaded with shock, zim, and dubya. If they can get all 3 of those players on the field at the same time, the results could be amazing. Despite none of them being a true GK, I say just get them on and throw everything they have at the opposition.
4. Washington 1-2 (-7 GD)
They are just 1-2 and lost today, but this is still a pretty good team with a great leader in Fire. Still, if Mario and Bung have an RHL game, they are going to that instead, and it makes them extremely vulnerable because their bench is downright awful. This is a good team but without Mario they have almost no defense. Comic has also not had his greatest games at GK recently, which is a concern. Still, they have a lot more team chemistry than Hartford and that's why they get the nod here.
5. Hartford 2-1 (+2 GD)
Well, the Whales have some talented players, but continue to be extremely inactive. They've only beaten Monterrey so far and have barely scraped out wins there, but then you can say we don't really know how good Monterrey is because the only other team they've faced besides Hartford is Ottawa. I can see this team picking up wins on Orlando and Washington fairly easily, so I think they are a playoff team. They just need to get their activeness up.
6. Monterrey 0-3 (-21 GD)
This team actually isn't that bad...They just have locker room issues because everyone wants to start. Toy needs to pick a starting 3 and stick with it, only subbing players when things aren't going right. That's what almost every great team owner does but instead he's just trying to get everyone playing time and it's destroying the team in a way, with all the losses. Still, this team has good talent in Nomer, Obby, Bommer, Zammy, but they just need to mesh and use their strengths together.
