NWSL Power Rankings: KC stays unbeaten as Marta helps Pride soar

Date:

It’s Monday, another week of NWSL action is in the books, which means it’s time for ESPN’s Power Rankings.

Our rankings are derived from a combination of key season statistics (points per game, goal differential, expected goal differential), recent performance, the Opta computer ratings and the observations of our writers.

Who’s climbing the table? Who’s in free fall? Our writers and statistical models have ranked all 14 clubs in the league after Matchday 4. Let’s dive in.

Previous ranking: 1

Next match: Saturday vs. Bay FC, 7:30 p.m. ET

After picking up three wins from their first three games, the Current couldn’t stay perfect Sunday vs. Gotham — but a point on the road is a point on the road. In the attack, Bia Zaneratto and Temwa Chawinga continue to look unplayable in transition. The two combined for a goal in the first half, with Chawinga capitalizing on her incredible speed to break behind. There isn’t a defense in the NWSL that will feel confident about locking down Kansas City for a full 90 minutes.
