Any team which loses its best player will suffer some degree of decline obviously. But the top teams in the area can sub multiple players and still play well and win games at all age groups - not just U17 and above.

Yeah - you're right. Must have double counted one age group. Hopefully this is better (it doesn't really change the conclusion):

Arlington (W12 D4 L2)

vs VDA W4 D1 L1
vs McLean W3 D2 L1
vs Loudoun W5 D1 L0


BRYC (W4 D2 L12)

vs McLean W0 D2 L4
vs Richmond W1 D0 L5
vs VDA W3 D0 L3


Loudoun (W1 D3 L14)

vs Richmond W1 D0 L5
vs VDA W0 D2 L4
vs Arlington W0 D1 L5


McLean (W5 D5 L4)

vs BRYC W4 D2 L0
vs Arlington W1 D2 L3
vs Richmond W0 D1 L1


Richmond (W11 D1 L2)

vs Loudoun W5 D0 L1
vs BRYC W5 D0 L1
vs McLean W1 D1 L0


VDA (W8 D3 L7)

vs Arlington W1 D1 L4
vs Loudoun W4 D2
vs BRYC W3 D0 L3

The match results were not correctly recorded on the ECNL boys website. your data source is not reliable.

I believe results have now been corrected - no? Are there any results you are aware of which remain incorrect?

This.. Seems like the weaker teams in the area have 7-8 players that could play on any team; then there's a cliff. And the cliff starts within the starting lineup. The stronger teams can swap in and out with no performance decline. They have 15+ players that are all pretty good.

7-8 is high. 4-5 maybe

Depends on how good of a team. Not all players are impactful. Some are solid role players. Some are impact players. A real impact player can find a spot on the roster almost anywhere
