6. Texans Massimo
7. Liverpool Merola #1
8. Texas Fire
9. Liverpool Merola #2

Yes - you are back!! The season can't start without your pre-season rankings.
I would flip-flop 1 and 2 but everything else looks right.
Andromeda did very well in the November tournament and almost beat Leite
but (with guest players). Two weeks before without guest players they were life and death to beat
LP Merola by one goal.

Those aren't guest players so you probably should leave 1 and 2 the way they are.

I think Andromeda did go undefeated in SDL division 2 in the Fall - and then beat rolled thru their bracket with solar farley, manchester and lp reina in Xara and played a great game against Leite and got beat in the last minute on a very strange goal. I meant no disrespect to Andromeda - they are a very good team. EAL looks like it will be a very competitive league with several really good teams.

4TL - do you know anything about FC Lionheart - I am not familar with them?

Don't know anything about lionheart but figure they can't be as bad as AFC was last fall.

I watched andromeda in the Xara tournament and also have seen them at city futsal playing against older teams. They are a very good team and appropriately ranked.

List updated - 2 teams added

Farley 2nd?, don't think so.

Agree Joshisa - I think Solar Farley should be number ranked number 1 as well.

They are putting to much emphasis on the Xara tournament.

The team has improved a great deal since then, but they don't know that.

It will be a good league and I can't believe it has increased from "non-existent" to six teams last fall to now 15 teams!!

You can only go by what has happened on the field. And putting an over emphasis on a close game is one thing,
but I checked the tournament results and Andro won that game 5-0 over Solar Farley.

And not that I know anything about either team, but I suspect that all teams have improved since then.
Doubt anybody has just sat around and done nothing since the Fall.

Coach Dom - do u have an updated list - i heard two more teams joined.

Funny Rickey Jones, Does 5th sound good to you?

We couldn't beat Andromeda last year, we couldn't beat the Tuzos - maybe we should just try the Silver division?

At least fourth behind andro, TFC, and bandits

The rankings are based on Fall results, tournament results, and player movement I am aware of.
Andromeda - showed very well (with their new stud forward addition) in the Aces tournament and lost to Leite in a close game in the finals. Has done very well in Futsal this winter playing against u9 competition
Solar - finished second in the fall league behind Odyssey and had inconsistent results in the two tournaments. Losing to DT Manchester and Bandits, but beating Liverpool Reina and tieing Solar Red
Bandits - a couple key additions in the offseason, getting great touches playing futsal this winter. Finished 4th in fall EAL, also inconsistent results in Primetime tournament beating Solar, losing to Texas Sun and losing badly to Solar Red
TFC - has lost several key players (one to Bandits), finished 3rd in EAL Fall, but didnt play as a team this winter.
Liverpool Reina - Showed well in the Primetime league last season, faced tougher competition in fall tournaments and didnt fare well going 1-5. Indoor in Keller they finished second losing twice.
Texans Massimo - struggled against tougher competition in Fall EAL, but got to the championship game in the silver division of the ACES tournament. Expect them to be improved now in their second season together
Azurri - Did well in Fall SDL in the second division, struggled a bit indoor this winter getting only 1 win. Will benefit from getting back on a normal practice schedule for the Spring
Liverpool Merola #1 - Did well in SDL, but against tougher competition team has struggled in tournaments. Going 0-3 in Aces tournament (losing 11 to 1 to Solar Red). Winter season indoor they won two games out of six. They also have lost key players. Overall this is a team that is trending down.
Texas Fire - Had a solid Fall season in SDL 2nd division and did well in the silver division of the Aces tournament. Scrappy team
United Strikers - know very little about them
Liverpool Merola #2 - assuming their 2nd team isnt as good as their first. Since this is the first team Liverpool Merola has had a second team I am assuming most of the players are new to academy from rec.
Aztecs - know very litte about them
FC Lionheart - Know very little about them
AFC - scored 1 goal last season in EAL and it was allowed by the other team, struggled against rec teams this winter at blue sky losing every game.

Nice evaluations 4theloveofthegame. You have done your homework nicely.

Who did Andromeda gain?
Where are Bandits from and who did they pick up?
Who did Liverpool#1 Merola lose?
Do you know where FC Lionheart is from?

Who did Andromeda gain? The gained a big tall fast kid that played forward and scored pretty much all their goals in the Aces tournament
Where are Bandits from and who did they pick up? Frisco/Plano they picked up TFC's best player
Who did Liverpool#1 Merola lose? Their top 4 players
Do you know where FC Lionheart is from? Got me stumped, they played this winter at Frisco indoor sports
