Not Villarreal. You could swap the top 4-5 RL for any in the bottom 15-16 (of 20) and there is no difference. Also, reverse it and put one of the bottom 15-16 in an RL game and they wouldn’t change the game and probably wouldn’t even stand out. You don’t know what you don’t know.[/quote]

The highest ranked ECNL-R 07 team in VA is Beach FC.

This was their results from last falls WAGS
11 Oct 20	MARYLAND UNITED FC ECNL	          0 - 3	 33.71
10 Oct 20	BALTIMORE ARMOUR ACADEMY GA	  1 - 2	 33.73
10 Oct 20	BALTIMORE CELTIC SC GA	                  0 - 1	 33.61

They scored one goal against a GA team and lost to two GA and one ECNL teams.

They were close to GA but a 3 goal differential against their lone ECNL opponent doe not lead one to believe that the difference is just 3-4 players. And as a top ECNL-R team, while competitive they still lost to mid table GA teams.

You don't know what you don't know.

And Beach FC is significant because they do not have the player pool dilution and are pretty far away to lose their best players to Richmond ECNL. Beach has a pretty large and isolated player pool, unlike NOVA.

Yeah, in this area, the difference is 4-5 players. You’ll see when 4-5 players go to play at good college programs and the other 15 are looking at the Randolph Macons and other D-III schools, same as the non-ECNL players. [/quote]

After a 0-3 loss to MD United ECNL you still think the difference between the two teams is 3-4 players?[/quote]

You want an opinion simply based on a score? Have you watched soccer a long time? 3-0 games can be the equivalent of a 7-0 or a game where sides are even or the losing side was better.

Was it 3-0 in the first half and MD United backed off? Did MD United dominate the ball all game and not do enough with their chances? Or were the chances the same and only a couple late goals when losing team pushed forward flatter the score? I've seen teams win and lose 3-0 in games then were the worst team or dominated.

But as a general rule, I'd say that if you could sub your worst 3-4 players with 3-4 players that are your best players then you'd have a pretty good chances of winning a game or being competitive in games you competitive in and lost.[/quote]

Last season, there was a team that lost every match except they got a tie against my son's team, and this should have been a win as they got a free kick goal off of a flop with 10 seconds left.  A few top players were missing that day.  My son's team ended up winning the playoffs with those few players added back.[/quote]
