Worried about rankings on an app

It's really good overall, but it's not ideal for U13 & U14 MLSNext, as it almost exclusively focuses on Win/loss record, and they won't factor in Quality of Play rankings. I suspect integrating QoP into his existing W/L algo fails the "is the juice worth the squeeze" analysis. But at least scores are still kept and soon enough its back to W/L.
All the ranking spp cares about is wins and losses. It takes the average of one years record and defines the expected number goals that will occur when you play another team. If you play that team and you score more than the expected outcome your ranking goes up if you score less than the expected outcome your ranking goes down.
U13 & U14 MLSNext teams—including MLS academies—are best in class in the US. So when, for a period of two years, MLSNext produces weekly team rankings based NOT ON W/L but a metric called QoP, it skews results and puts lame ECNL and ECNL R turd teams ahead of MLSNext teams.
But even now ECNL teams are ranked higher than MLSNext for those ages. VDA and Arlington are behind only SYC I think.
No horse in the race, just observing.
If MLSN isnt posting scores in a normal format what is the app maker supposed to do?
