Now predictions and comments:

CLASSIC D1 - U11 PREDICTIONS
1) BANDITS	LOST A FEW PLAYERS TO DT POMYKAL, BUT REPLACED THEM WITH EQUIVALENT OR MAYBE EVEN BETTER ONES
2) DT POMYKAL	LOST COACH TO ANDROMEDA - POSSIBLY LOSING KEY PLAYERS TO ANDRO AS WELL?
3) FCD PREMIER	COMPILED A GREAT GROUP OF KIDS THOUGH PREMIER PROGRAM, BUT COACHING ISSUE MAY HURT THEM IF NOT FIXED
4) TFC WELLS	DID THEY GET THE PLAYERS FROM SOLAR? IF SO, TEAM MAY BE TOP 3
5) ANDROMEDA RED	TEAM IS GETTING BETTER AND BETTER, MAYBE TOP 3 BY QT TIME
6) OC WIZARDS	LOST A VERY GOOD PLAYER TO DT POMYKAL, SHOULD STILL BE A VERY GOOD TEAM
7) SOLAR RED / DT SOUTH	NOT SURE WHAT'S GOING ON HERE. IF BOTH TEAM MERGE SUCCESSFULLY AND PLAYERS STAY, LOOKOUT!
8.) SOLAR DYNAMO	GOOD, SOLID TEAM. IS PARTAIN TAKING THEM THROUGH QT AND U11 SEASON?
9) ASG GOLD NORTH	ANOTHER GOOD SOLID TEAM THAT IS WELL COACHED
10) FCD EAST	GOOD TEAM, BUT WON'T KNOW WHERE IT STANDS UNTIL TOP FCD TEAM IS FINALIZED
11) TEXAS TOROS	GOOD UP FRONT IN THE MIDDLE, BUT DEFENSE IS SUSPECT
12) FCSL/DFW TEJANOS	MERGE HASN'T DONE MUCH TO IMPROVE TEAM. BEST PLAYERS ON THIS TEAM ARE STILL ORIGINAL FCSL KIDS
13) FCD FIGO	TEAM ON A NOSE DIVE. HEARD PARENTS PETITIONED TO HAVE FIGO REMOVED?? CAN ANYONE CONFIRM??
14) DINAMO	SOLID DEFENSE, TECHNICALLY SOUND, BUT LACK GOAL SCORING
15) TIGRES ACADEMY	PERFORMANCE WILL BE BASED ON WHAT 99 & 98 KIDS ARE AVAILABLE TO PLAY FOR THEM
16) DT DENSK	SAME AS FCD EAST, TEAM IS GOOD, BUT IF DT POMYKAL LOSES PLAYERS, THEY WILL BACKFILL FROM THIS TEAM
17) MITLAN ACADEMY	SCRAPPY INDEPENDENT TEAM WITH LOTS OF POTENTIAL
18) COMETS	TEAM SHOWED SOME SIGN OF IMPROVEMENT TOWARDS THE END OF YEAR, SHOULD MAKE D1
19) CLUB CLASSIC ORANJE	ARE THEY MERGING WITH LIVERPOOL? IF SO, MAY IMPROVE A BIT… IF NOT, THEN THEY ARE JUST BARELY HANGING ON TO D1
20) FWFC	MAKING A LATE PUSH TO BUILD A D1 TEAM. SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET IN

Fire away!!

I like Bandits, Wizards, Solar (Partain is staying), and FCD Premier. Andro will have a strong team. Those look tops to me.

3. TFC can score and score need a better defence?
4. Wizards tough scrappy team getting better every week
5. FCD starting to play well
6. Solar Partain solid well coached team.

Sort out the DT Pomykal defections to Andro for me, if you know? How many kids left to Andro?
The kid the Wizards lost to DT, was it the lefty up front? He put 3 in the back of the net against DT in the last tournament so I guess they recruited the heck out of him....that will cause problems, he needs to be the star.
Your Top 10 looks right. 1-10 are tighter and tighter based upon what I have seen over the past 6 months.

I see CLUB CLASSIC ORANJE at the 16 spot. They beat COMETS and tied FCD EAST in league play. Also, beat DT DENSK and COMETS in Flamefest.

Dalla Texans 01 Densk

Kyle Owen will be interesting with three of the top four on your list playing in the gold division.
Bandits
Wizards
TFC Wells

My bad. DT Densk had no 01 designation on the Flamefest team list. Looked like Solar had the only 01 team playing up.

Did TFC add or lose players this summer? I have heard a bit of both?

2 kids leaving DT Pomykal for Andro, possibly 3 if ML gets an 00 team.
Wizards kid... yes. From Solar Red to Bandits to DT South to Wizards now to DT Pomykal.

I heard that Dinamo is not part of Andromeda

Not sure, but they weren't part of Solar when their coach was a Solar coach.

CORNER, CAN YOU PLEASE CLARIFY? IS DINAMO NOW PART OF ANDROMEDA OR ARE THEY STILL INDEPENDENT?

I SAW WHERE MU HAD LEFT SOLAR FOR ANDRO. SINCE HE HAD KEPT HIS DINAMO TEAM AWAY FROM SOLAR ALL THIS TIME I FIGURED THAT HE WOULD KEEP THEM AWAY FROM ANDOR AS WELL, BUT THIS WOULD MAKE LOTS OF SENSE.

I heard it from a parent on the team.

There are so many changes in players going on, it is madness... Lets see what happens first week of July and see who signs with who. There are so many teams breaking appart and others coming together.
Looking forward to qualifiers.

I heard FCSL/Tejanos merger didn't workout, team splitting back to 2 seperate teams

Where are they going to get more players from? Let's see who signs.
Top 5-7 very strong, then a slight drop off, and then a big drop off after 12.

I guess they will join everybody else on the team carousel! Being my first year in this business, I must say this is nutty...

ML is taking the 00 team at Andromeda however I would be surprised if a 3rd one would leave.

I wouldn't be too surprised. Sorry to say, but that team is going to be no where near the same after those two kids leave and without ML. Big step down from their elite status. IMO, you will see TFC Wells, FCD Premier, Andro, Wizards and Solar on par with them very quickly. I think some within are starting to see it already.

What positions are the kids you are speaking of that left DT Dynamo or are thinking of leaving?

Andro00Red, I was replying to your message and then it dissapeared..... I believe you said something like I was giving too much credit to those two kids and that the advantage of DT Pomykal was that all players were equal.... Please correct me if I'm off....

IMO, the advantage of that team was that it had 3 great players and great coaching surrounded by very good talent. If 2 of the 3 great players leave and the great coaches are gone, what does that leave? A very good team at par with the rest of the field? Wouldn't you agree???

All of this should be posed on soccerdoc's "rumors" thread.

Two players have left DT, yes. Were they good? yes. All of the boys are good. Both played defense.

Truth is, Marcio would take ANYONE from the team regardless of his opinion of their ability.

The team lost two, but is looking for one ... send your kid to team camp this week.

The team is strong. Can they be beaten?, sure, they're 10.

Don't listen to Andro00Red. He ate some sour grapes.
