Wasatch Soccer Sentinel"If two teams played tomorrow, given their current injury concerns, form, and other considerations, who is likely to win on a neutral field? All things being equal, who is the best team going forward, based on what we know now?"
-Richard Farley, NBC Sports ProSoccerTalk. 3/11/14
Only 10 of 14 publishing rankings. Two sites published late last week so totals and positions have been updated.
Now on to the rankings. As always, if you come across a site that I’ve not included please send me their link! It may not be used this season, but I’ll check to see if they continue in 2018.

You may notice the list includes several ‘analytic’ sites; the analytic sites function as a counterbalance to the rest which are based more on personal opinions. All the averages use the Olympic method of dropping the highest and lowest scores, and then averaging the rest to remove potential bias.
