It's week two of our FC Dallas/North Texas SC roster rankings. Thanks for the feedback last week, and we will keep them combined as a result of that. It starts to get interesting this week as players aren't separated into the two teams. You'll see Ricardo Pepi creeping up the rankings and a couple of FC Dallas players falling firmly into the reserve category as a result.

As always, it's all fun and a chance to see who is being talked about.

You may not have heard too much of him but Alfusainey Jatta is the big winner after a commanding performance in the North Texas SC scrimmage with NTX Rayados. He jumped up 9 spots to 30th. Keep in mind this Rayados team beat OKC Energy last year in the US Open Cup - it's not a million miles from the level that Eric Quill's team will play. Buzz made the point in his scrimmage observation that Jatta may grow well beyond MLS, and I'm excited to see him play in this weekend's doubleheader after the FCD v LA game.

There are no losers at this stage of the season, the first few weeks are players settling into their place. For Kyle Zobeck (-6), that's a descent that's simply related to being behind two MLS-starter quality keepers. For Ondrasek (-5), it's the realization that he may not be suited to this offense and chances may be hard to come across. Ronaldo Damus (-5) has just made it back into the US, he'll certainly ascend again but other NTXSC players have got a head start on him.

As always, if you think we're geniuses, idiots, or just want to discuss the beautiful game, hit us up.
