As every month, "Israel Today" reporters and commentators present the monthly strength rating of the Premier League teams for January.
After 13 rounds, just before the quarter-finals of the Cup and when the Corona started to disrupt the league games, we checked the situation of each team.
For previous rankings of the 2021/22 season:
December |
November |
October
1. Hapoel Jerusalem
In the previous rating:
1 (unchanged)
The losses to Gilboa and Maccabi Tel Aviv also do not hurt the wonderful period that the Jerusalemites go through in all settings.

2. Maccabi Tel Aviv
In the previous rating:
2 (unchanged)
It is true that the results are not something and the ability is very weak, but still the Yellows have a deep and quality staff that gives them an advantage over the other teams, as we saw in the victory in the arena. However, if a 5: 8 balance and third place in the table are not enough, it is already the second month in a row that the champion is ranked second in our index, further evidence of its problematic situation that requires immediate improvement.
Bnei Herzliya
In the previous rating:
7 (4+)
The team from Sharon has been suffering from instability since the start of the season and as a result also extreme fluctuations in the rankings.
Until the loss to Ness Ziona, in which she also played well, she was in a streak of four victories, including one over Maccabi Tel Aviv. By the end of the season, that potential in the roster exists.

4. Hapoel Tel Aviv
In the previous rating:
10 (6+)
At the start of the season we placed the Reds in fourth place in our predictions, but the season opener heralded with poor ability and disappointing results.
In recent weeks there has been a dramatic improvement and the results accordingly.
James Young mentions his ability from Maccabi Haifa, Jacoben Brown takes command and the Israelis also give good output.
On Saturday it will be seen if she can also threaten the first in the table, in the quarterfinals of the cup.
5. Hapoel Holon
In the previous rating:
4 (1-)
The blatant instability and the gray style cost Maurizio Buscalia his job.
Guy Goodes has good player material to work with, keep his place at the top of the league and also qualify for the next stage in Europe.
There is no reason that next month Holon will not end up in a higher place.

6. Hapoel Galil Elyon
In the previous rating:
3 (3-)
In recent weeks there has been some retreat in the ability and results of the young team from the north, but it is still dangerous and exciting.
After overcoming the blow of the corona that befell her, Galil will have to show that the start of the season was not accidental, and that she can stay on top even in the important times of the season.
7. Urban Ness Ziona
In the previous rating:
5 (2-)
The oranges have settled in a good spot in the middle, but the instability prevents them from advancing a little further upwards.
The feeling is that Lior Lubin lacks another stable and good Israeli who will help the team stick to the top group.
If Golan Gut, Tal Dan and Lior Carrera (at least two of them) continue their ability from the last game, Ness Ziona will be able to speak loudly later in the season.
8.
Hapoel Eilat
In the previous rating:
11 (3+)
With a short and lacking staff, Eilat provides impressive displays, but also painful falls.
Not for nothing are they really on the verge of a playoff in our index.
Ariel Beit Halachmi has a good base and excellent Israelis to whom he gave the keys this year.
With one or two more quality bouquets, Eilat will be able to get closer to restoring the excellent season from last year.
9. Hapoel Haifa
In the previous rating:
9 (unchanged)
For a moment it seemed that the team from Carmel was stabilizing, but then came the weak ability against BS and the loss in Ness Ziona. Elad Hussein needs to get much more than most of his players, to take his place in the playoffs. The cup game may mark the direction in the coming months.

10. Hapoel Gilboa / Galil
In the previous rating:
6 (4-)
In most games so far the Northerners have played with only three foreigners, and yet they manage to maintain a reasonable gap from the red line (and thanks to Rishon LeZion). The first eight.
11. Hapoel Beer Sheva
In the previous rating:
8 (3-)
The problem of the short staff continues to hurt BS even under the Greek coach who fails to stop the chain of close losses that began already in the Rami Hadar period. The problematic situation in which BS is is, and she has to find a way to get out of it.
12. Maccabi Rishon LeZion
In the previous rating:
12 (unchanged)
Last month we wrote that we do not see how Rishon LeZion can get out of the last place and we were right. Not that this is too much wisdom. The Oranges must start winning from the next round, before it is too late.
The ranks:
Eli Sahar, Avi Segal, Ido Eshed, Yiftach Samuel and Yaakov Meir
Were we wrong?
Fixed!
