1. New York City FC (No Change)
2. Atlanta United (No Change)
3. New York Red Bulls (No Change)
4. Sporting Kansas City  (No Change)
5. LAFC (+4)
13. FC Dallas (+2) In very quiet fashion FC Dallas are unbeaten through their first five after Saturday's 1-0 victory in New England. The fewest goals conceded thus far? Believe it.
16. Philadelphia Union FC (-2) Pretty flat performance from the Union in a 2-0 loss to Orlando in front of the home fans. Where was the urgency?

1. New York FC (No Change)
2. Atlanta United (+1)
3. Toronto FC (-1)
4. New York Red Bulls (+1)
5. Sporting Kansas City (-1)
​7. FC Dallas (No Change) Jacori Hayes' early-season success was rewarded with the winning goal against the Revs. The second-year pro looks like a transformed player as he's taking advantage of his chance in Oscar Pareja's lineup.
19. Philadelphia Union (-2) The Union are an enigma at the moment, with players who should be more prolific in attack not doing anything of late. In spite of the optimism following their opening-day victory, there aren't many signs of hope at the moment for this team.

1. New York City FC (No Change)
2. Atlanta United (No Change)
3. Sporting KC (No Change)
4. FC Dallas (+3) FCD handled its first road game of the season very well: Jacori Hayes marked a strong showing by scoring the only goal, and keeper Jimmy Maurer (six saves) came to the rescue when needed.
5. LAFC (+3)
17. Philadelphia Union (-4) Union conjured up some good shots but were denied by a sharp goalkeeper. Three goals in five games so far and 1-1-2 at home. Ugh.
