LHGCL D3 predictions

We have threads on D1 and D2, what two teams advance to D2 at end of year:

FC Premier: Gave up 75 goals last season
LP Thompson: Questionable to see what this team added/lost
Andro: Should be a contender
FCD East Red: Will be in the hunt
Mustangs: If team intact they will be near the front
D'Feeters South (Polaris): Rumor is they made some key off-season moves, one of my top 2 picks
DT Red: Heard about lots of movement, time will tell but don't see top 2 here
LP Dalglish: Middle of the pack
Liverpool Hansen: Athletic but need time to flourish
FCD West: Don't know a lot here

Fort Worth FC 02G White
Dallas Rush 02G Nero
Liverpool FC America 02G Owen

My bad, thanks for the catch there LHD. That being said I like the Rush team a lot as a contender.

FC Premier: on the verge of blowing up this summer, lost a couple so it'll be interesting to see how they do
LP Thompson: Should be able to contend for a top two spot; picked up FC Premier defender
Andro: Lost their fantastic keeper and another player I hear
FCD East Red: Heavily dependent on large back to boot the ball up top and now that player is gone
Mustangs: If team intact they they should be solid; virtual twin of Dalglish team
D'Feeters South (Polaris): Tut results indicate they slipped a bit
Rush Nero: Where they should be; interesting to see how they compete an entire season against tougher competition
LP Dalglish: Doesn't give up many goals and improving scoring ability; essentially returning the entire team
Liverpool Owen: Biggest surprise of QT; indicates substantial turnaround from early summer results
FWFC White: Don't know a lot here

My own two cents

FC Premier: Is THE forward still there? Surely most teams will figure out how to stop her
LP Thompson: Already hard to score on for most teams...additional defender should make it even harder
Andro: Mostly same team.  I expect them to finish at the top..possible to move to D2 next year.
FCD East Red: Lost most of defense but added offense.  May see a change in style of play from this team.  Will be bumpy at first but should be solid by Spring.
Mustangs: Heard a lot of girls may have left...nothing confirmed, guess we will see.
D'Feeters South (Polaris): Lots of personnel change over summer I've heard...bumpy at Tut but may need time to gel.
Rush Nero: Always competitive, several new girls I believe as well.  Should finish towards the top.
LP Dalglish: Up and down.  This team is a fighter though.  Longer they are together, better they should be.
Liverpool Owen: Hard working team, will get better and better, coach is very good at game management.  Good keep.
FWFC White: Should finish middle of the pack.  They are used to dominating Arlington.  Will have to adjust to game pace and faster, skilled opponents in D3.  They didn't have that too much in Arlington so they didn't improve as much as they could if they'd player tougher teams. Should get better as year progresses I think.

I'll pick LP Thompson and Rush to advance to D2 next year. Andro should be close to the top as well. FC Premier could make a run if they could stop teams scoring on them but see no signs of that yet. They do know how to score some goals so that's a positive.
