After a brief hiatus, "Israel Today" reporters and commentators gathered again to determine the strength index of the Premier League teams, with the opening of the Upper House and Lower House games.
This time, no less than nine teams are no longer in the place they were in the previous rankings.
So who collapsed and who jumped up?
The answers are in front of you.
For previous rankings of the 2021/22 season:
January |
December |
November |
October
12. Hapoel Beer Sheva
In the previous ranking: 11
Only about three weeks ago, BS defeated Maccabi Tel Aviv, barely lost to Holon and seemed on the safe path to stay.
Since then the LeBadiotis team has gone back and looked very bad in the last three games, all at home.
If you do not recover quickly, BS may find itself in great danger of falling.
11. Maccabi Rishon Lezion
In the previous ranking: 12
Inverter at the bottom.
Thanks to the impressive victory over Jerusalem and a few other signs of life it has shown recently, Rishon LeZion is emerging from last place (only in our index, yes?). In terms of talent, they have a better team than Bash.
If they know how to maintain a level of commitment as against Jerusalem, the fight against the decline will continue until the last cycle.

10. Hapoel Gilboa / Galil
In the previous ranking: 10
Gilboa / Galil is significantly better than the last two in the table, but something prevents it from taking off.
Maybe it's the inexperience, and maybe it's actually the crunchiness of some of the players on the roster.
The Northerners need to prove in the lower house games that they deserve more than a tenth place in our rankings.
9. Hapoel Eilat
In the previous ranking: 8
The Southern team has been looking a little better in recent weeks.
While it has beaten the two weakest teams in the league, even such victories can change the momentum.
Eilat has the tools to fight for a place in the playoffs, and it's really not worth taking it easy for the lower house games.
8. Hapoel Tel Aviv
In the previous ranking: 4
Since Jacoben Brown's injury, the Reds have been off the track.
They looked bad and lost their place in the first six that were within reach, but no less than the ability - the low energies and getting out of the rhythm stood out.
If Danny Franco does not want to lose his place in the playoffs as well, he needs to find a way to lift the team.
With or without Jacoben.

7. Urban Ness Ziona
In the previous ranking: 7
Another unstable team that is strong in the playoff picture thanks to some important victories in recent times, and the truth must be told - even with the help of some weaker rivals than it is.
Ness Ziona can and should play better, and if the quality advantage it has on paper is also reflected on the field, there is no reason why it should not be in the playoffs.
6. Hapoel Galil Elyon
In the previous ranking: 6
Justice was done at the last minute, and the northern team that is making its Premier League debut above all expectations - managed to fit into the top house.
When Barak Peleg's gang enters the rhythm and enthusiasm, it is very difficult to stop it, especially in Kfar Blum.
We have no doubt that Galil will make its mark in the upper house as well.

5. Hapoel Haifa
In the previous ranking: 9
Despite the loss to Maccabi Tel Aviv, the team from Carmel improved greatly, and achieved its place in the top house thanks to Elad Hussein found the right rotation, and Haifa is one of the toughest and most trained teams in the league. In Romema it is almost impossible to win. Many are expected to have a hard time against Haifa.
4. Bnei Herzliya
In the previous ranking: 3
The quality team from Sharon is strong in the first quartet thanks to quality and fine basketball.
In the last month, she has lost to Jerusalem and Holon, which puts her in fourth place and nothing more.
In the top house she will have to go back to finding the way to beat the big ones, as she did earlier this season.
3. Hapoel Jerusalem
In the previous ranking: 1
The instability between the games (a recent loss in the table four days after the beautiful victory in Holon) and in the games themselves, puts the Jerusalemites in third place in the index.
Halperin has a deep, quality and fine staff, and we believe that if he finds a solution to the problem of stability, the team from the capital can go all the way, and of course also be ranked higher.

2. Hapoel Holon
In the previous ranking: 5
Although she lost the game against Jerusalem Holon, the good ability against strong rivals like Herzliya and Maccabi, and of course the great success in Europe, give it second place in the index.
Holon presents a good attack alongside the aggressive defense we got to know earlier this season, and that makes it an even stronger and more dangerous team.
1. Maccabi Tel Aviv
In the previous ranking: 2
Beyond the impressive winning streak in the Euroleague, the Yellows have stabilized in the league, and in the last few games (except for the loss yesterday) have run over the rivalry by differences reminiscent of other days.
The Israeli players, some of whom do not get a chance in Europe, are preying on the floor in the league, and as of today it is also the team in the best shape.
