I am going to try and do one of these every couple of weeks because I like doing them and I know that everyone will love to read them. 
1. Kamakura Katanas (6-0) The undisputed #1 in the league with being the only team that hasn't lost a game yet. They have been blowing out every team they've faced including a surprising blow out over SUFC. Until they lose a game they are definately the best team in Alpha. This week vs. #3 Montville Mustangs (Game of the week in Alpha)
2. Shanghai United F.C. (5-1) Very dominant this year but a very shaky performance against the Katanas. They have the highest overall team level wise and they definately beat out the rest of the 5-1 teams.
3. Montville Mustangs (5-1) The Mustangs have made huges strides this season and pull in at #3 at this stage in the season. Huge underdogs against the Dragons but they pulled it out with a surprising 23-21 win. Alot of people will not agree with them being this high in the rankings but they have definately proved themselves against the Dragons which puts them slightly ahead of them. This week against the Katanas will really show what they are made of. This week vs. #1 Kamakura Katanas (Game of the week in Alpha)
4. Taiwan Dragons (5-1) A very good team but they were being questioned after a stunning loss to the Mustangs. A very dominat performance against Surabaya was very good for them to get going on the season after a pretty easy first 4 games. I put them ahead of the Monks because they have beat one of the elite in the league. This week vs. #7 Tibetan Black Dragons
5. Palembang Drunken Monks (5-1) A very good start to the season so far but we don't really know what they're about because their schedule has been pretty easy except for SUFC who gives them their 1 loss on the season. Not much to say on these guys because they havn't really proved themselves yet. This week vs. #9 Chiang Mai Funny Talkers
6. Surabaya Fighting Sura (4-2) This team has been very strong this season with a good win over the Mustangs. They are going to have to show me a little more for them to be put higher. They have gotten all the hard teams out of the way and have a lot of easy games in the last half of the season. If they are consistent and win the games they are supposed to win then they might crack the top 4. Until then they sit at #6 and a strong playoff team. This week vs. #15 Vietnamese Vice Lords
7. Tibetan Black Dragons (4-2) This team has been a force this season and was basically a no one last season and now they're a playoff team and have the ability to shock someone when they get there. A good 1 point victory over the Funny Talkers puts them at #7. This team has some great GMs that really know what they're doing with tactics and with some more talent on their lineup they could be among the elite in Alpha. They have the ability to make some noise this week and pull off an upset against the Dragons. This week vs. #4 Taiwan Dragons
8. Singapore Sylvans (3-3) The Sylvans have been somewhat of a disappointment this season. With one of the highest overalls in the league they were expected to be a middle playoff team but with a very disappointing loss to the Jesuits I'm starting to question this teams determination to win. They have also had a tough schedule to start the season so the easy teams are coming up and they need to pull those off to make it to the playoffs. This week vs. #2 Shanghai United F.C.
9. Chiang Mai Funny Talkers(2-4) This team should be up there above the Sylvans if not for an upset against Tibetan. This teams game against the Sylvans I feel will decide who pulls out the last playoff spot for Alpha. This team really needs to step it up and play to their potential. They have a chance to beat the Monks this week that would totally vault themselves up in the rankings but they're going to need a good strategy. This week vs. #5 Palembang Drunken Monks (Another good game to watch)
10. Jakarta Jesuits (3-3) This team has been a surprise this season with some upsets against the Vice Lords, Connoisseurs, and Sylvans. All their wins so far this season have been upsets but I'm not sure how long they can keep it up but until they start to show signs of weaking they are at #10. Maybe this sudden burst for this team has been because of great coaching and tactics or maybe it's because they have gotten lucky. If it's luck then it won't last much longer. If it's the coaching and tactics then with some better players they could be a big contender next season. This week vs. #12 Abac Cruiser
11. Kyoto Connoisseurs (1-5) Kyoto should be winning alot more because of that high overall. I don't know what it is but they need to put it together because they could be a playoff team if they put it together. These guys will end up in the middle of the pack if they can get their heads straight and play like they should. They also might stay like this and be a complete mess but as of now with their performance they will be sticking down here at #11. This week vs. #16 Vientiane Ghosts
12. Abac Cruiser (2-4) Not a very good team overall wise but they've got it done against 2 very easy teams and have gotten the win. They are not going to do very well this season so they have to start getting prepared for season 5. This week vs. #10 Jakarta Jesuits
13. Vietnamese Vice Lords (1-5) This team just doesn't have enough talent to really compete this season. Just like Abac I feel that this season has to start making some moves to pull in some top notch players and get ready for season 5 because they are going nowhere this season. This week vs. #6 Surabaya Fighting Sura
14. Macau Flames (1-5) This team has to start putting together a lineup that can put points on the board. They have a total of 60 points in 6 games this season. That is only an average of 10 points per game so they really need to bring in some talent and put points on the board. Not sure how they're going to do it but they have to find a way or they're going to be just as bad next season. This week vs. #15 Bali Bullets
15. Bali Bullets (1-5) The Bullets have been the biggets disappoint this season. They were a contender to make the playoffs last season and that has all gone down the drain and they have been playing very badly and don't have a good enough roster to go anywhere. They most likely get related and need to start over in A. This week vs. #14 Macau Flames
16. Vientiane Ghosts (0-6) This team might win 1 game this season and that is against the Bullets. They will be relagated to A and need to get it together because they might be just as bad down there. This week vs. #11 Kyoto Connoisseurs
1. Kamakura Katanas (6-0) The undisputed #1 in the league with being the only team that hasn't lost a game yet. They have been blowing out every team they've faced including a surprising blow out over SUFC. Until they lose a game they are definately the best team in Alpha. This week vs. #3 Montville Mustangs (Game of the week in Alpha)
