- To say that the Tier-1 standings are bizarre is an understatement, after three weeks each team has an identical 1-1-1 record so unless we see two ties this week expect someone to take hold and move away from the pack
- Ihsan is still awaiting the debut of mercurial forward Usama Mahmood who recently got married, no word on whether he is available this week but their offense is already loaded making him another great asset to break down opposing teams
- Shukr gets a rematch with Zuhd after taking a 6-1 beating last week, Shukr looked unstoppable in their opening 5-0 pasting of Yaqeen so last week's loss was a shock so everyone will be watching to see how they react given an immediate opportunity to redeem themselves
- Last time Emaan and Sabr met, it was Sabr scoring with just six minutes left to steal a tie but a game where they outshot their opponent by a 21-11 margin; finishing their chances early in the game will be critical against a scrappy Emaan squad who uses their speed and relentless fore-check to generate offense.
- Taqwa vs Ihsan features the leagues four top scorers and features a great head to head between Sajjid Ayubi and Shaukat Khan, the latter being the apprentice in this dynamic. Both players possess speed and great offensive instincts so their game within a game will be fun to watch
- NHL teams are looking to advanced statistics like Corsi and Fenwick, Haya is reportedly using the "Taqi" metric but no details on what this represents. Haya has looked strong and well balanced early this season and a great part of their success has been the coaching of Kashif "Coach K" Taqiuddin who has guided his team into first place
- Speaking of "Coach K", he is reportedly particularly pleased with his "Triple-A" line of Arif Khan, Ali Murtaza and Aazar Zafar who have combined for seven points in two games and have balanced his team's offense lines with top forward Waseem Bangash as the anchor on their other big line
