You seem to gloss over FCV's tie to a lower ranked FC Bucks and a loss and win against a lower ranked VA Union.
Beating low ranked teams like Skyline 1-0 demonstrate how the overall level of competition in GA will begin to work against FCV over time.
But what FCV did get was big red down arrow for beating Skyline 1-0. This is the risk of being in GA. Sure, you're winning games but nobody cares because of who the competition you faced. The reality is FCV needs every win and every social media post to stay in the spotlight.
FCV's record against ECNL teams over the last year is 3-2-2. While a small sample size the games were against mostly mid to lower table ECNL teams. While it doesn't paint a complete picture but even 3-2-2 with a +4 goal differential is in stark contrast to a current GA record 0f 7-0 with +15 goal differential with the same number of games.
And it doesn't get better when FCV plays against top 100 teams in GA.
GA Playoffs they went 1-1-1 with a -2 goal differential. They tied 105th ranked Morris Academy, they beat 85th ranked City SC and lost badly to 12th ranked TopHat 1-4.
The also lost to 41st ranked NEFC 1-2 and 36th ranked Beadling 1-2. Their goal differential against other top ranked GA competition is -2.
There is no evidence that FCV would fare any better than in ECNL than mid table. They currently only beat lower competition and occasionally still find ways to struggle against lower ranked teams at times and they fail to deliver consistent performances against equal to higher ranked teams than themselves. There is a reason they are so excited about winning WAGS, it is because beating teams better than them doesn't happen very often it at all.
They are a good team and on their best day they can run with anyone but they are simply not consistent enough against equal to better competition to ever call them "Elite".
Excellent post. Explain how well Arlington is doing then?
Arlington is currently in 6th place in ECNL. They finished in 3rd in GA last year. They have gone 1-1-1 against 3 of the top 4 ECNL teams they have faced this season so far. They are doing about as expected. They are closer to mid table than they are to the top of the table.

The question to ask is why tournaments keep putting Celtic in top brackets? They were in the top bracket at Jeff Cup and at WAGS and they scored a total of 1 goal combined in both tournaments.

Please get over yourself. Every team in Mid Atlantic GA would be the very bottom except FCV. Fact.
Jefferson cup should reveal how strong the GA teams are in comparison to ECNL
Actually WAGS already gave a preview of how typical GA and ECNL teams will fare.
GA results:
9 09 GA teams went 6-21
08’s had 6 GA teams that went a combined 3-15.
ECNL results:
08, 4 ECNL teams played and had a combined record of 7-5.
09 ECNL. 4 teams went a combined 9-3
ECNL 16-8 to GA’s 9-36
ECNL was under represented at WAGS with zero ECNL division leaders and all middle to lower of the pack teams and yet still combined for a winning record.
Sorry but you need to look at the brackets. If it’s not the top flight, local ECNL/GA team and 08’s it does not matter. There is a big difference between the top flight and the second flight. Many times the teams that get crushed in the top flight would be competitive in the second flight. While the second flight winner would not make it out of group play in the top flight.
Sorry, but not even GotSoccer believes the difference between the “Cup Bracket” and “Bracket A” is as vast as you would have us believe.
Cup Bracket awarded points: 7500
Bracket A awardee points: 7150
Bracket B awarded points: 4800

Lol got soccer! Seriously that is a good one!
YSR had two teams at 34.50 plus and two at about 33 roughly in the top flight. That’s below Richmond but above VDA.
The second flight highest team was about 32.3ish. You really think the top flight is the same as the second flight?
Based on YSR points here is where FCV would hypothetically place in ECNL Mid Atlantic
1. 35.21 Richmond
2. 34.18 VDA
3. 34.13 NC Courage
4. 34.02 Carolina Elite
5. 33.7 Charlotte SA
6. 33.56 Arlington
7. 33.53 FCV
FCV's hypothetical finish in ECNL North Atlantic
1. 36.12 PDA
2. 34.45 Penn Fusion
3. 33.89 Pipeline
4. 33.53 FCV
And moving further north, FCV's hypothetical finish in New England
1. 34.38 FC Stars
2. 34.59 World Class
3. 34.29 SUSA
4. 33.53 FCV
Regardless of conference FCV fails to qualify for Champions League which of course would save families a trip to California to just get bounced in group stage.
Of the top 100 teams in the Nation 9 are GA. Congrats FCV, you're one of the few good GA teams around.
Hard to know how good the GA teams are, most are in conferences with very little competition.
So wait… FCV beat Boca Sabr White (34.5) who beat Pen Fusion ECNL(34.47) and BSC ECNL but you think FCV would not beat other ECNL teams with 34ish points?
Oh and look at that FCV lost points and Boca and Fusion gained Points. Seems like youth soccer ranking is cooking the points again.
Based on results of beating Boca a 34.5 and who that team has beaten FCV should be at least 34.5 not 33 and falling. Also Arlington should be in 34.5-34.75 not 33.5.
This would be a realistic result for FCV in the ECNL.
1. 35.21 Richmond
2. 33.56 Arlington(Arlington should have more point also)
3. 33.53 FCV(beat teams ranked 34.5 so they will be in the mix with these teams)

6. 34.02 Carolina Elite
7. 33.7 Charlotte SA

All depends who makes the Divisions. IMO, they did a poor job with WAGS, but it is still early Fall and things change. But yeah, one division was stacked, the other, not so much. BTW, FCV won the final because of coaching. They got a goal early in the second half and went to a strong defensive set, packing the box and taking punishment to 30 minutes.

This is where YSR run into problems. YSR adds about a point to ECNL teams because they play in the ECNL.
Hahahahahaha. Hahahahahaha. Hahahahaha. Thats the stupidest thing I’ve ever read. YSR is an algorithm jackass and has nothing to do with leagues. It is simply taking goal differentials of games over a year and a halfs’ time. It works like a virus and is all connected by “six degrees of separation” if you will.
LOL, YSR and ECNL conspiracy theory.
FCV needs to get into the ECNL.
And they won’t get in ECNL because they don’t have a boys side and they made their bed with GA.
All FCV has now is some legacy teams but they lack a youth program and their younger teams are a significant drop down in talent. They have no youth player pool, surrounded by larger clubs in ECNL and are in a second tier league. If BP leaves the club they are done.

It is simply taking goal differentials of games over a year and a halfs’ time. It works like a virus and is all connected by “six degrees of separation” if you will.
LOL, YSR and ECNL conspiracy theory.

I think it is so funny that a FCV parent posts these things to make himself feel better. By the way, Arlington is in 5th place and will begin to move down. VDA is above Arlington. NC Courage lost today.
Please get over yourself. Every team in Mid Atlantic GA would be the very bottom except FCV. Fact.
Jefferson cup should reveal how strong the GA teams are in comparison to ECNL
Actually WAGS already gave a preview of how typical GA and ECNL teams will fare.
GA results:
9 09 GA teams went 6-21
08’s had 6 GA teams that went a combined 3-15.
ECNL results:
08, 4 ECNL teams played and had a combined record of 7-5.
09 ECNL. 4 teams went a combined 9-3
ECNL 16-8 to GA’s 9-36
ECNL was under represented at WAGS with zero ECNL division leaders and all middle to lower of the pack teams and yet still combined for a winning record.
Sorry but you need to look at the brackets. If it’s not the top flight, local ECNL/GA team and 08’s it does not matter. There is a big difference between the top flight and the second flight. Many times the teams that get crushed in the top flight would be competitive in the second flight. While the second flight winner would not make it out of group play in the top flight.
Sorry, but not even GotSoccer believes the difference between the “Cup Bracket” and “Bracket A” is as vast as you would have us believe.
Cup Bracket awarded points: 7500
Bracket A awardee points: 7150
Bracket B awarded points: 4800

Lol got soccer! Seriously that is a good one!
YSR had two teams at 34.50 plus and two at about 33 roughly in the top flight. That’s below Richmond but above VDA.
The second flight highest team was about 32.3ish. You really think the top flight is the same as the second flight?
Based on YSR points here is where FCV would hypothetically place in ECNL Mid Atlantic
1. 35.21 Richmond
2. 34.18 VDA
3. 34.13 NC Courage
4. 34.02 Carolina Elite
5. 33.7 Charlotte SA
6. 33.56 Arlington
7. 33.53 FCV
FCV's hypothetical finish in ECNL North Atlantic
1. 36.12 PDA
2. 34.45 Penn Fusion
3. 33.89 Pipeline
4. 33.53 FCV
And moving further north, FCV's hypothetical finish in New England
1. 34.38 FC Stars
2. 34.59 World Class
3. 34.29 SUSA
4. 33.53 FCV
Regardless of conference FCV fails to qualify for Champions League which of course would save families a trip to California to just get bounced in group stage.
Of the top 100 teams in the Nation 9 are GA. Congrats FCV, you're one of the few good GA teams around.
Hard to know how good the GA teams are, most are in conferences with very little competition.

FCV Dad didn't question YSR when discussing the seeding of teams in WAGs.

I don't care where FCV ranks, but how can you possibly rank VDA over NC Courage, which completely outplayed VDA in their head to head game? Those two teams are not even close in quality.
I didn't rank anybody, Youth Soccer rankings did.

Hard to know how good the GA teams are, most are in conferences with very little competition.
Here are the two leagues combined by National ranks from YSR between both Mid Atlantic Conferences (GA is bolded):
12 Richmond
38 VDA
39 NC Courage
45 CESA
54 Charlotte SA
61 Arlington
63 FCV
74 SJEB
163 SC United
165 VA Union
171 Loudoun
174 Charlotte Independence
231 NCFC
243 Sporting Delaware
282 Metro
364 Skyline
378 Cedar Stars
393 Wilmington
465 Baltimore Celtic
475 Armour
481 NC Fusion
590 BRYC
995 PA Classics
1034 Ukrainian Nationals
There are only 3 ECNL teams ranked substantially low/lower than some of the middle of the pack GA teams. And even as bad as BRYC is at #590 it pales in comparison to PA Classics and Ukrainian Nationals who are both ranked around 1000th in the Nation 995 & 1034 respectively. To put that low a number in perspective, YSR ranks 3466 U14 teams.
Two teams that FCV faces are barely ranked in the top third in the Nation. GA Mid Atlantic has two teams in the top 100 and outside of that ECNL Mid Atlantic have 11 teams ranked higher Nationally than the rest of the GA Conference combined.
When you look at the stark contrast in quality you can see why FCV parents must spend part of every morning polishing that WAGs medal.
FCV's WAGS opponents below are now thrown into the rankings to where they fit in league wise (WAGS italicized):
12 Richmond
24 Anbry
38 VDA
39 NC Courage
45 CESA
54 Charlotte SA
61 Arlington
63 FCV
74 SJEB
107 Morris Academy
119 FC Bucks/CRUSA
128 Total Futbal Elite
163 SC United
165 VA Union
171 Loudoun
174 Charlotte Independence
231 NCFC
243 Sporting Delaware
282 Metro
364 Skyline
378 Cedar Stars
393 Wilmington
465 Baltimore Celtic
475 Armour
481 NC Fusion
590 BRYC
995 PA Classics
1034 Ukrainian Nationals
And while Anbry was certainly highly ranked at 24th there were 6 ECNL Mid Atlantic teams that are ranked higher than FCV's WAGs opponents. FCV can play in the top bracket in WAGs and STILL not face stronger competition than half the conference in ECNL's Mid Atlantic Division. Loudoun faces stronger competition on a weekly basis in League play than what FCV can only get from a tournament once a year.
Steel sharpens steel and playing cup cake teams in GA week after week will dull the blade.
