As every month, "Israel Today" reporters and commentators bring you the power rating of the Premier League teams.
And this time, quite a few surprises await - especially at the top.
Who made a significant leap and who ousted Maccabi Tel Aviv from the summit?
The full ranking is in front of you.
12.
Maccabi Rishon Lezion.
The team's condition in orange is so bad that we do not think there is a chance that in the next ranking it will be in a higher place.
We'll meet in a month.
11.
Hapoel Eilat.
Currently the changes made by the southern team have hurt her and brought her down to the bottom after she was in a reasonable spot in the middle and also played good and attractive basketball.
Ariel Beit Halachmi's team needs to recover quickly so as not to get entangled in places they did not expect.
10.
Hapoel Tel Aviv.
After the two impressive victories before the break and with the addition of Josh Evans, we thought the Reds were embarking on a new path, but then came a disappointing fall in Be'er Sheva.
The chances of grabbing one of the last places for the Cup seem slim, especially due to the tough game schedule in the near future.

9.
Hapoel Haifa.
The beautiful victory over Holon has not forgotten the instability and disappointment of the Reds so far this season, especially in light of the great success last season and the high expectations from the staff built in the summer.
Who knows, maybe the impressive display against one of the best teams in the league heralds a refreshing change in Carmel.
8.
Hapoel Beer Sheva.
Even in the two losses that led to Rami Hadar's departure, the southern team looked good and just collapsed at some point.
Against Hapoel Tel Aviv, it has maintained defensive and offensive stability at all stages of the game, and the new coach has fertile ground (and also some deficiencies to correct) for work.
7.
Bnei Herzliya.
The team from Sharon is in free fall with four losses in the last five games, so it also dropped three places in our ranking.
At this rate she will quickly find herself outside the top eight, despite an impressive and promising season opener.
6.
Hapoel Gilboa / Galil.
Great credit goes to the people of Gilboa who, despite professional and structural problems in the staff, maintain their respectable place in the center of the table.
As we have become accustomed to at Gilboa, key players in the success are Israeli players such as Or Cornelius and others, who so far have not received significant opportunities in the Premier League.
5.
Ness Ziona Urban.
If we had given the award to the improving team, Ness Ziona would have received it in a big way.
With us, she jumped within a month from tenth place to fifth place, thanks to the five consecutive victories, including an impressive home victory over Maccabi Tel Aviv and an equally impressive (well, almost) away victory in Gan Ner.
4.
Hapoel Holon.
The Purples have been on a certain decline lately in ability and results (these things were written before the game in Turkey against Drushpaka), so they are also losing second place in our index and going down to fourth place.
It seems that another quality player is needed in the back line to meet the high expectations.

3.
Hapoel Galil Elyon.
The Northern team is the hit of the league and the surprise of the season so far without a doubt.
She wins at home and away, defeats top teams and bottom teams, and does everything with exciting basketball and Israelis playing a major role.
Barak Peleg's team is an opponent that at the current point in time no one wants to meet.
2.
Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The many losses in Europe in the last month along with the bad ability and also the losses to Holon and Nes Ziona over the last month, put Maccabi Tel Aviv in serious trouble and very worried about the future. The table (real, yes?) Does not lie, we do not remember when Maccabi Tel Aviv was ranked Fifth after the eighth cycle.
1.
Hapoel Jerusalem
.
A makeover at the top.
After faltering at the start of the season and also in our rankings, the dramatic improvement in ability, the good results in Europe and of course also the addition of Suleiman Braimo (tiebreaker in our league), brought the team from the capital to the top.
