There has been a (Washing)ton of movement on this week’s Update. The Top 10 are solidifying themselves.
Notes:
- Comps are for play style and role not specifically the same level.
- The Thompson Twins will for now be removed until more clarity, after some internal debate that seems more fair.
- Pelle Larsson, Tramon Mark, Keyonte Johnson, and Langston Love are not ranked because of the injuries. I will re evaluate them at a later date.
