Between real work, covering Buzz's vacation, and just coordinating schedules (if you listen to the podcast you'll know whose schedule!) we haven't ranked the roster in a little while so there's going to be a couple of big moves in today's rankings before FC Dallas takes on Orlando City.

As always, there is no scientific formula to this (or any) power ranking but we do look at how players are performing, as well as how much fans and the media are talking about them. I didn't like the week Ondrasek broke the top 11 either but the fans demanded him and we had to reflect that! So let's get down to business.

Starting XI:

In The Mix:

Second Team:

In Reserve:

Well, there's one very big winner this week, even coming off a bad game, and that's Santiago Mosquera. The winger jumps 19 spots after he was out for a while when we last left off and really looking like a delicate player who was ineffective when fit. Three sub appearances and three starts yielded the Mosquera FC Dallas fans had hoped for. Hopefully last weekend was just a blip.

On the other end of the spectrum, two players took big dives for very different reasons. Johnny Nelson had been out for a couple of months with an ab injury, dropping 12 spots while recovering, but he's now back in contention for North Texas SC as he looks to resume his ascendancy to the MLS roster.

Pablo Aranguiz, however, only has himself to blame for his 12 place slide. The Chilean hit his year anniversary recently and his stat line reads 20 apps, 0 goals, 0 assists. The pure 10 simply doesn't fit in with the style Luchi Gonzalez plays, we've seen some immaturity when the likes of Roberts, Bressan, and Badji are adapting to new roles to get minutes and help the team, and he's squandered his opportunities - most notably starting the friendly with Xolos only to be told within the first ten minutes that he was on his final warning before being sent off for violent conduct. The loan back to Chile couldn't come soon enough.

After the All-Star distraction, it's back to MLS and a trip to Disney World to try and extend a run that has never seen Orlando City even score against the Huntsmen and strengthen their playoff chances. North Texas SC look to rebound away at Chattanooga who are dealing with a five-game winless run that has seen the Red Wolves drop out of the playoffs.

Maybe if we're lucky we'll do this again next week!
