38. Portland Timbers II. Index rating: -46.775. Rank change: 0.

37. Richmond Kickers. Index rating: -31.939. Rank change: 0.

36. FC Edmonton. Index rating: -21.392. Rank change: 0.

35. Toronto FC II. Index rating: -21.111. Rank change: 0.

34. Puerto Rico FC. Index rating: -17.922. Rank change: -3.

33. NY Red Bulls II. Index rating: -17.160. Rank change: -5.

32. Seattle Sounders FC II. Index rating: -14.368. Rank change: +2.

31. Indy Eleven. Index rating: -10.168. Rank change: +2.

  • Indy finally won their first game, and they also won their only game after that

30. Tulsa Roughnecks. Index rating: -8.806. Rank change: -3.

29. Phoenix Rising FC. Index rating: -8.606. Rank change: +1.

28. Los Angeles Galaxy II. Index rating: -8.193. Rank change: -2

27. Vancouver Whitecaps II. Index rating: -4.890. Rank change: -3.

26. Pittsburg Riverhounds. Index rating: -3.800. Rank change: +3.

25. Rio Grande Valley FC Toros. Index rating: -3.556. Rank change: -3.

24. North Carolina FC. Index rating: 0.503. Rank change: -14.

  • Definitely the biggest drop, but what happened? NCFC lost to the winless Indy Eleven twice, lost to the New York Cosmos and Houston Dynamo at home, and their only other match was a 2-2 draw on the road against the Cosmos in the second fixture.

23. FC Cincinnati. Index rating: 0.980. Rank change: 0.

22. Bethlehem Steel FC. Index rating: 1.821. Rank change: +10

  • One of two teams to jump ten spots. More on that later. Steel FC hasn’t lost since the end of May, and have won four of their last five.

21. Orlando City B. Index rating: 3.257. Rank change: 0.

20. New York Cosmos. Index rating: 3.964. Rank change: -9.

  • Since last time around, the Cosmos lost big at home to FC Edmonton, lost to Miami FC on the road, drew against North Carolina FC at home, and beat Puerto Rico FC at home. The loss to Miami takes them out of Spring Season contention in the NASL, and it seems they are already looking ahead to the Fall Season.
