My view of packs (not that it is worth anything other than my view

D1: Top 3 teams as ranked, then 4-6 or 7 then 7-10

D2: Top 2 teams as ranked **but these could compete with D1 bottom pack** then you have middle 3-5. Then the bottom pack of 6-10.

D3: I will not give opinion... not that experienced with the teams. **I would suspect the top of D3 could compete with bottom of D2 pretty well**


Thoughts?

Your coach may be good at scouting and preventing goals right now, but eventually you will have to score goals if you want to stay in D1. No need to make recommendation just yet, that will happen on its own soon enough unless some major changes are made to your structure. But again no need to worry on that one cause that is already in the works.

Divide D1 into 2 groups: Pack 1 = 1-3/4, Pack 2 = 4/5-8

Then Pack 3 = remaining D1 and most of D2, the Pack 4 = remaining D2 and D3.

4 Packs should do it for Classic...

Oh and yes, the top of PPL can keep up with anything in Pack 4 (no clue about APL).

The top of Arlington can play with the fourth pack and would challenge the third pack.

so why are they still in APL?

Line up changes were significant and they shouldn't be there much longer.

thats cool but you still have to play the 2 top PPL teams to get in? good luck either way!

I like their chances but they still have to get there and win. That is what makes it fun.

I took a quick look at the Arlington standings. No team is running away from the API pack at mid point. The top of the group is split between Aztecas and FWU. In their first two meetings, FWU won the first match and they tied the second.


In the PPL pack, DI has an undefeated team as the TFC 99 boys are 9-0. The DII group also has a 9-0 team in Liverpool 99.

The boys have faired extremley well in all tournaments. I think they have a good chance as well.

Do you disagree?

I haven't really seen too many of these games but the few I have seen were more defensive line ups from the API and PPL teams so yes the score will be low! but heres something to take note ALL classic league teams change their line ups every season sometimes for the better and sometimes for the worse and what I have witnessed is that team coming from API or PPL are teams that have the same bunch thru academy that got crushed by ALL classice league teams back then so what has happened is they have learned to play better as a team unlike the revolving door known as a classic league soccer! good example United was dominant in PPL and is doing very well in D3 and are one of my picks to fininsh in the top 2 spots,now they don't have not one superstar on that team(no go to player) just a team that has been together for years and knows each other well! Regardless good luck!!!

now my view on the teams to be relegated from D3... FCD Black who not only to this point has yet to win they have yet to score although they don't belong in classic league(gift from the by the folding of FCD Blue) they do move the ball around quite nicely and the DTRS squad can play and beat anybody out there but the lack of team unity hurts them the most the battle for 9th spot is between them and Tejanos
