After a week off with Dallas Cup and the Generation Adidas Cup, we're back to power rank all 42 players signed to professional contracts with FC Dallas and North Texas SC. Like all power rankings there isn't an exact science so we take into consideration which players are performing well in games and practice, who is being covered in the media, and who the fans are talking about.

So without further ado...

Starting XI:

In The Mix:

Second Team:

In Reserve:

Just a couple of weeks out from a disciplinary issue that saw he and two other players dropped, Jesse Gonzalez puts up a performance worthy of being this week's best player. He jumps eight spots, sharing the spoils with Dom Badji, who is returning to action this week. With Ondrasek seemingly vanishing after the Philly game, and the left wing proving a trouble spot, Badji could be second choice up top or even earn the start on the wing.

Thomas Roberts took the only significant drop after a Dallas Cup week that saw him take a knock to the head on the back of a rough performance, which in itself was on the back of a start out of position with the first team. Roberts is a fantastic young player so hopefully, a bad couple of weeks will just prove a small hurdle for him in his development.

Enjoy the games today. If you're not at Toyota Stadium, FCD v San Jose is on Univision and Twitter from 2:30 with NTXSC v Orlando City B on ESPN+ at 4:50.
