MLS Power Rankings, Week 9: Draws & Ties

Many teams settled for draws in this week's edition of the Power Rankings.

When people look back on the 2016 Major League Soccer regular season and want to define certain weeks of league play, they can file this week under the "Nobody Wanted To Win" category. Eight of the 13 matches played this week ended with both teams splitting points. Only the New York Red Bulls, Real Salt Lake, the Portland Timbers, New York City FC and the Seattle Sounders notched victories last weekend. For the others, it was a series of slugfests that yielded very few points added to the Supporters Shield standings.
