Who's hot? ELF Power Ranking after Week 6
Felix Pahl
With six weeks of action behind us, it's time to take another look at the European League of Football power rankings. Some teams used their bye week to rest and regroup, while others made big statements on the field.
1. Nordic Storm
Previous Rank: 3
The Nordic Storm are the hottest team in the league. With a strong win against the Wroclaw Panthers, they are now 5–0 – the only undefeated team left in the ELF.
2. Stuttgart Surge
Previous Rank: 2
The Surge stay at number two. They had no trouble beating the Cologne Centurions and gave many players valuable playing time – experience that could be important later in the season.
3. Vienna Vikings
Previous Rank: 1
The Vikings lost their first game of the season in a close Championship Game rematch against Rhein Fire. A defensive touchdown by Fire made the difference. Still, Vienna’s overall quality keeps them in the top three.
4. Paris Musketeers
Previous Rank: 4
The Musketeers got revenge against Frankfurt Galaxy with a 35–16 win. Even though QB Jaylon Henderson threw three interceptions, he still led Paris to a strong victory. Paris is clearly aiming for a deep playoff run.
5. Rhein Fire
Previous Rank: 5
Did Rhein Fire finally find their rhythm? Maybe. They beat Vienna in a big game, but we’ll need to see more before moving them higher.
6. Munich Ravens
Previous Rank: 6
The Ravens beat Berlin Thunder again, this time 35–12. After a slow start, the offense picked up. Now, a big test awaits in Week 7 against the Surge.
7. Frankfurt Galaxy
Previous Rank: 7
Frankfurt lost to Paris and also lost star WR Terry Wright to injury. After that, the offense struggled. A tough week for the Galaxy.
8. Raiders Tirol
Previous Rank: 8
The Raiders played again without a true QB but still got the win over the Mercenaries. A strong run game helped, but they only pulled away in the third quarter.

9. Madrid Bravos
Previous Rank: 9
The Bravos had a bye in Week 6. They now face Hamburg in a Week 1 rematch. Their defense had problems before – did the bye week help fix them?
10. Prague Lions
Previous Rank: 11
The Lions beat Hamburg and now have a winning record for the first time in ELF history. The defense was outstanding. But the big test will come next against Frankfurt Galaxy.
11. Wroclaw Panthers
Previous Rank: 12
Even after losing to the Storm, the Panthers move up. They played solid defense in the first quarter but couldn’t keep up after that. Their offense struggled again.
12. Hamburg Sea Devils
Previous Rank: 10
Hamburg lost the rematch against Prague. Kyle Kitchens had a great game, but it wasn’t enough. A chance for revenge now comes in Week 7 against Madrid.

13. Berlin Thunder
Previous Rank: 13
Berlin didn’t improve. Rookie WR Tyler Foster stood out, and the defense was solid early, but they couldn’t keep up with Munich.
14. Helvetic Mercenaries
Previous Rank: 15
The Mercenaries stayed close with the Raiders until the third quarter. New QB Josiah Norwood showed some promise. Defense looked better early in the game. They pass the Enthroners for now.
15. Fehérvár Enthroners
Previous Rank: 14
The Enthroners had a bye. They drop one spot but are hoping for a fresh start with QB Brock Domann back and new DB Jalen Dennis ready to help the defense.
16. Cologne Centurions
Previous Rank: 16
Cologne stays last. They fought hard but couldn’t keep up with Stuttgart. Still, the effort was there.
Looking ahead
Week 7 will bring key rematches and big playoff implications. Expect more changes next week as the season heats up!
