1 Last: 1 Ten points from four games to open the season. The scary part? They still look like they're only just figuring things out. This team's ceiling is ridiculously high. Last Week: Drew vs. Seattle, 0-0

Drew vs. Seattle, 0-0 This Week: Saturday at Portland (10:30 pm; MLS LIVE)

2 Last: 7 The Jesse Marsch era has started off with a point in KC, a dominant home win against D.C., and a convincing road win at Columbus. Last Week: Won at Columbus, 2-1

Won at Columbus, 2-1 Next MLS Game: Saturday April 11 at D.C. United (7 pm; MLS LIVE)

3 Last: 3 Went on the road missing five starters – including their four best players – and got a point. Forget the other mitigating circumstances, because that's always an acceptable result. Last Week: Drew at Dallas, 0-0

Drew at Dallas, 0-0 This Week: Saturday vs. Houston (10 pm; MLS LIVE)

4 Last: 4 Like Dallas, this is a team scraping out results even if it hasn't been pretty. Unlike Dallas, they look to have a clear Achilles' heel, in that their transition defense is wanting. Last Week: Won vs. Portland, 2-1

Won vs. Portland, 2-1 This Week: Saturday vs. LA (10 pm; MLS LIVE)

5 Last: 2 This propensity for conceding late goals – which started last year – is so atypical of a Bruce Arena-coached team. The Galaxy will be fine long-term, but last weekend was yet another point squandered. Last Week: Lost at D.C. United, 1-0

Lost at D.C. United, 1-0 This Week: Saturday at Vancouver (10 pm; MLS LIVE)

6 Last:: 8 Stop me if you've heard this before: they're getting results even if it's not particularly pretty. Watching RSL – of all teams! – scramble without the ball for so long is jarring. Last Week: Won vs. Toronto, 2-1

Won vs. Toronto, 2-1 This Week: Sunday at San Jose Earthquakes (5 pm; ESPN2/ESPN Deportes/WatchESPN)

7 Last: 12 Seemed to rediscover a bit of the midfield balance that's been missing for quite a bit. Still waiting for a Dom Dwyer slump-busting goal, however. Last Week: Won at NYCFC, 1-0

Won at NYCFC, 1-0 This Week: Sunday vs. Philadelphia (7 pm, FOX Sports, FOX Deportes, FOX Sports GO)

8 Last: 11 Missing a creative presence in central midfield, but they can afford to play without one if Nick DeLeon and Chris Pontius are going to return to their 2012 form. It happened for just a second this past weekend. Last Week: Won vs. LA, 1-0

Won vs. LA, 1-0 This Week: Friday at Orlando (7 pm, Unimas)

9 Last: 5 We expected better out of the Columbus midfield, even without Wil Trapp and Justin Meram. They're slower in their movements defensively this year, and RBNY carved them up. Last Week: Lost vs. New York, 2-1

Lost vs. New York, 2-1 Next MLS Game: April 8 at Vancouver (10 pm; MLS LIVE)

10 Last: 6 Painful lesson for young central defenders Nick Hagglund and Clement Simonin. Even more painful to be on the wrong side of two calls. Still, to breakdown at the end like that was disappointing. Last Week: Lost at Real Salt Lake, 2-1

Lost at Real Salt Lake, 2-1 This Week: Saturday at Chicago (3 pm; MLS LIVE)

11 Last: 14 That Kaká guy is pretty decent. Perhaps even more important is the confidence Pedro Ribeiro played with at center forward vs. Montreal, and Cyle Larin played with for Canada. OCSC has a few options up top now. Last Week: Drew at Montreal, 2-2

Drew at Montreal, 2-2 This Week: Friday vs. D.C. United (7 pm; Unimas)

12 Last: 16 The Power Rankings Politburo happily bet the house on the Revs this past weekend – you've got to expect them to dominant teams with loose central midfields. They're still far from firing on all cylinders, however. Last Week: Won vs. San Jose, 2-1

Won vs. San Jose, 2-1 This Week: Saturday at Colorado (7 pm; MLS LIVE)

13 Last: 9 Adam Jahn changed the game when he came on, and you've got to think he's in line for a start or two going forward. Same for Shea Salinas. Last Week: Lost at New England, 2-1

Lost at New England, 2-1 This Week: Sunday vs. Real Salt Lake (5 pm; ESPN2/ESPN Deportes/WatchESPN)

14 Last: 10 Looked punchless. Not a surprise, given the quality and number of players they were missing. Last Week: Lost vs. Sporting KC, 1-0

Lost vs. Sporting KC, 1-0 Next MLS Game: April 11 at Philadelphia (4 pm; MLS LIVE)

15 Last: 13 It's starting to feel a lot like last year, when a slow start cost Portland a playoff spot. The good news is that more teams make the postseason in 2015, and Darlington Nagbe is still on fire. Last Week: Lost at Vancouver, 2-1

Lost at Vancouver, 2-1 This Week: Saturday vs. Dallas (10:30 pm; MLS LIVE)

16 Last: 17 For the first time all year they looked slow and disorganized on the defensive side of the ball. But JackMac is back! Last Week: Drew vs. Orlando City, 2-2

Drew vs. Orlando City, 2-2 Next MLS Game: April 11 at Houston (8:30 pm; MLS LIVE)

17 Last: 15 They flood the midfield with bodies, which has led to a pretty good defensive record. It's also led to two goals scored in four games. Last Wee: Drew vs. Colorado, 0-0

Drew vs. Colorado, 0-0 This Week: Saturday at Seattle (10 pm; MLS LIVE)

18 Last: 20 Continued to show some pretty nifty ideas in the attack and are playing prettier soccer than they're given credit for. They just don't finish with any consistency. Last Week: Won vs. Philadelphia

Won vs. Philadelphia This Week: Saturday vs. Toronto (3 pm; MLS LIVE)

19 Last: 19 Set the league record for consecutive scoreless draws to start the season. Last Week: Drew at Houston, 0-0

Drew at Houston, 0-0 This Week: Saturday vs. New England (7 pm; MLS LIVE)
