Who cracks the top 10 in the MLS Power Rankings list?  Will the Atlanta Duo make it?

MLS fans have been treated to some great soccer through the first three weeks of play.  To no one’s surprise the usual suspects are up near the top of the scoring list. However, the up-start duo of Miguel Almiron and Josef Martinez are taking the league by storm.

While early injuries to Kaka, Sebastian Giovinco and others leave a little to be desired. But going forward this could go down as one of the most entertaining MLS seasons to date.

Here are the MLS Player rankings after three weeks of action.

10. Jozy Altidore – Toronto FC 

While his season last year was up-and-down, this year has started off great. Dubbed  “the beast” in the “6ix”, Altidore has scored twice in three games. But more importantly he has looked like the Jozy of last year’s playoffs.

All the while Altidore was an integral part to the last two games scoring twice and setting up Vazquez for his first goal in Toronto.

9. Romell Quioto – Houston Dynamo 

As Quioto turns so do the Dynamo. It’s been three games and three goals for Quioto. Houston have won two of those games, but we’re unlucky against the Timbers. Look for him to continue to score along with “Cubo” Torres as the Dynamo erase last year’s misfortunes.
