- Sources say Aazar Zafar of Emaan might be out for the entire season, look for updates in the coming week as Emaan has been on a run of late and will need the hustle that Zafar brings.
- Ikhlas made a big trade during the week and the result was their first win of the season as Nadeem Faqiri gave the team a big boost in his debut.
- Haya was not as fortunate as their new acquisition Shuaib Hussein had a strong effort with a pair of assists but his team was on the wrong end of a 3-2 score against Ikhlas. Hussein would have wanted to do better against the team that just traded him but could not carry his team to a win.
- With all of the trades occurring last week, most felt Yaqeen came away as clear cut winners and vaulted themselves into the championship conversation.
- Tonight will be an interesting matchup between Yaqeen and Sabr where traded players will be playing with a little bit more motivation as they face their former squads.
- Speaking of Sabr, they may need Samad Hamidi to work on that shower schedule as their lockerroom reportedly ran out of hot water after their game last week.

- Currently, Waqar Khan of Sabr leads the league in points (13) and goals (7), a rare feat to lead in both categories and Khan seems to have found his scoring touch after last season where he struggled. Many thought that the loss of his linemate and brother-in-law Furqan Salam would impact his performance but it has been the opposite.
- Yaqeen went into their game against Ihsan without a win in their previous two games but put together a solid effort that resulted in the win. The new additions to the lineup acquired via trade made a difference but it was the return of veteran Shoaib Bhatti that was the biggest boost as he potted two key goals and his deft touch around the net was key for the win.
- Everyone loves Ray? Emaan teammates insists that Rayhan Malik is misunderstood and is a great locker room guy.
- Shukr continues to struggle as they are now winless in three with just a goal over that period. Something needs to click for this team to have a chance but one thing is for sure, they will be happy when the cross division games are finished and its easy to see why. Undefeated within their divisional games, winless against cross divisional games.
- Ihsan was pleased that despite all of the injury woes they have suffered this season they were able to get star goalie Ahmad Mobin back. He said that his knee felt fine and was happy to be back out there helping his team down the stretch for a playoff spot.
- Did you hear about tension in the <fill in team name here > locker room? If you didn't then you aren't paying attention because all of them are stressed, the playoff race is tightening up and everyone is feeling the pressure to get into the post season.

Suspension:
Mehmed Rizvanovic (Shukr) has been suspended one game for leaving his teams bench and confronting an opposing player. While no physical altercation occurred this is a reminder to players to always stay on the bench whenever there is an altercation.
Waiver Wire:
Ihsan’s Ahmad Chaudhry injured his hamstring in the 2nd half against Yaqeen and has been replaced by Ali Wadee. The injury woes for Ihsan appear to be back sadly.
