MLS is back, which means Power Rankings are back. Week 1 doesn't tell us a lot about which teams are really hot and which are not, but it does at least provide the opportunity to provide a first ranking, from which the clubs will rise or fall as the season progresses.
- 3 points, 1st in Western Conference
- 1st in Supporters' Shield race
- Last result: PTFC 5-1 Minnesota
What more evidence of power do you want than a 5-1 home win on opening day?
- 3 points, 2nd in West
- 2nd in Shield race
- Last result: LA 1-2 FCD
Playing the Galaxy in LA is always a difficult game, and FCD will be pleased to have got through it with three points.
