Re: '05 Human Rankings?

by TxKpr 14/10/14, 12:48 pm

IMO- FC Dallas Hanlon is a very beatable team. I can see a handfull of teams from 10-20 and even 20-30 that would give them a good run. Havent seen Scarfone or Gerrard play as of yet.

by TatonkaBurger 14/10/14, 01:09 pm

My top 4:

#1 Solar Pulp - even with the blip against Solar Abbott, they need to be beaten by the rest in the top 4 to relinquish the crown

#2 Sting Diaz - even though they tied Hyypia, I think they are the better team

#3 LP Hyypia - good tie but need to beat the top 2 to jump up

#4 DT South - haven't seen this team play since Labor Day last year so I can only go on a 1-0 victory over Solar Abbott in TGPL - they have not played anyone else in a long time

The rest:

#5 Solar Abbott - their recent success puts them here. There is not much of a gap between those teams below them but if they win the games 1-0 even if in not so pretty fashion, then they deserve to be ahead of them. Have a tough end of the season against #6 Lady Aztecs and #8 D'Feeters

#6 Lady Aztecs - this team is hurting with a big loss to #2 and ties to #8 D'Feeters and #9 Sting Scarfone. Barely hanging on to this spot but could make a case for #5 with a 2 goal win against Solar Abbott this weekend. I think it needs to be 2 because this group of "the rest" plays very close games that can go either way on a given weekend

#7 Rush Voutier - had an unexpected tie to FCD Hanlon and a loss to #5 Solar Abbott to drop them to this spot. Lost 3-0 to #1 and #2 and play #3 this weekend so we will see if they can jump back and return to old form. It is too bad they don't play Lady Aztecs this season.

#8 D'Feeters - suffered a bad loss to #3 4-0 last weekend and play #1 this weekend. But tied #6 Lady Aztecs 1-1 and lost 1-0 to #7 Rush Voutier and sit in the middle of the standings. It is too bad that they don't play #9 Sting Scarfone this season

#9 Sting Scarfone - with ties to FCD Hanlon and DT Farley, this is where this team sits in my mind. They can prove they deserve to be ahead of LP Gerrard with a win against them this weekend but then finish with #1 next week

The next group:

LP Gerrard - has a win over FCD Hanlon
FCD Hanlon - has a couple of good ties (#7 and #9)
FCD Premier - has a tie against #5

TXSoccerMommy wrote:#1 Sting Diaz - Haven't lost since Labor Day and playing really well. They are a tough, physical team that plays with passion.
#2 Solar Pulp - Very talented team, but appear to be in a bit of a slump, honestly expected them to beat Hanlon by 5 and never expected them to drop a game to Abbott, but they did. So in my opinion they are #2 until they can show they deserve top dog status
#3 DT South - I haven't seen this team play but have heard they have an outstanding team. I also hear that the DT South vs Abbott game was very much controlled by the Texans.
#4 LP Hyypia - They are a talented team, they have come on strong as of late with a very good performance this past week vs D'Feeters. They are on Solar Pulp's tail for that #2 spot in CFBAL. If Pulp slips up they will pass them in the standings and finish the season in the CFBAL Championship game vs Sting Diaz.
#5 Solar Abbott - They are playing pretty well right now and fresh off a big win over Solar Pulp. They could go on a run these next few weeks and run the table in CFBAL to finish 4th in the standings if not higher.
#6 Lady Aztecs - Tough loss Friday for the Aztecs to the #1 team in NTX, they have to reload and get ready to face Solar Abbott this weekend, I expect this to be a close game.
#7 FC Dallas Hanlon - Only seen this team play once, they have a strong defense and good athletes all over the field, this team has the potential to continue to be very competitive in the top 10.
#8 Dallas Rush - Great Athletes, but lack luster coaching is holding this group back. Sadly, I don't think the parents see it.
#9 FC Dallas Premier - Haven't see this team play but based on record and game history I believe this is a good fit
#10 D'Feeters - This team appears to be in a bit of meat grinder, fresh off a whooping by Hyypia they turn around and play Solar Pulp this weekend and get to finish there Season with Solar Abbott.

Anyway, that is just where I see things as of now, but happy to hear your take...

1-4 is a toss up and I still continue to state the 05's have the deepest talent pool of most age groups ahead of it. Just wait until qualifying next year. It's going to be like an October Saturday in college football!

I didn't see the Pulp/Hanlon game, but someone within my trust tree told me the dogs got called off after a quick 3-0 start.

by Kessinger 14/10/14, 07:09 pm

FCD Hanlon has some pretty good athletes with decent size. Always see the fast, big (best) players packed into the box and play a strategy of not to get blown out. Rarely get it across midfield. No tactics.

by Guest 16/10/14, 08:30 pm

Based on recent results and the eyeball test:

#1 Sting Diaz
#2 Dallas Texans South
#3 LFCA Hyypia
#4 Solar Pulpaneck
#5 Solar Abbott
#6 Lady Aztecs
#7 Dallas Rush
#8 D'Feeters
#9 Sting Scarfone
#10 LFCA Gerrard

by Real Talk 17/10/14, 04:00 pm

total football, your rankings are pretty much on key. However, what's your logic on putting south @ 2nd?

by Guest 17/10/14, 04:20 pm

Again, just my opinion, based both on results and what I've seen. There are two very good unbeaten teams this Fall, and one has played more quality opponents than the other. And there are two very good teams with one loss. Like several others, I think the top four are essentially a toss up, but for purposes of ranking, I considered who has made it this far unscathed. Things could still change.

by 05girls 17/10/14, 04:25 pm

Didn't pulp beat hyppia?

by 05girls 17/10/14, 04:27 pm

Didn't pulp beat hyppia and Diaz as recently as August? It's true Diaz is undefeated this season but would seem logical to take in to account results that occurred just a little over s month ago.

by Real Talk 17/10/14, 04:40 pm

One through three is essentially a toss up, but it doesn't include south. South is a definite 4th, they have only played Abbott. It's hard to defend ranking them higher, but again, it is your opinion, so, fair enough.

by Real Talk 17/10/14, 04:46 pm

And that's true 05girls, Pulp is probably #1, but they're barely holding on to that spot. They will likely fall from #1 in the next two weeks.

by Guest 17/10/14, 04:46 pm

A valid point, 05girls. Could they beat them now, though? From what I've seen of both teams recently, I'm not so sure. It's just how I see it as of right now. Rank them ahead of Hyypia if that's how you see it.

Real Talk, it's my experience that there are no definites.

by Real Talk 17/10/14, 04:55 pm

True total football, let me rephrase - South is a solid 4th at this time.

by Guest 17/10/14, 10:19 pm

Just my opinion
#1 Sting Diaz
#2 Solar Pulp
#3 LP Hyypia
#4 DT South
#5 Solar Abbott
#6 Lady Aztecs
#7 Dallas Rush
#8 FC Dallas Hanlon
#9 FC Dallas Premier
#10 D'Feeters

by banana kick 18/10/14, 09:14 am

How I see it:

#1 Solar Pulpaneck -- until either Diaz or Hyypia beats them, they are still the top team
#2 Liverpool Hyypia -- playing better each week and loaded with talent
#2 Sting Diaz -- playing great soccer this season but has to beat the two teams above them to take their spot
#4 DT South -- still a mystery to me, but I put them here based on their win over Abbott
#5 Lady Aztecs -- playing well but the results just haven't been there this season; this week's game will determine if they can hold on to this spot
#6 Solar Abbott -- having a very good season and playing with confidence and belief
#7 Dallas Rush -- still one of the more talented rosters in the group, but they've struggled to put it all together; a result against Hyypia would be huge for them this week
#8 D'Feeters -- very talented group who can play with anyone -- it seems like each week there's a 5-7 minute breakdown that kills them; like Rush, they could definitely use a result this week
#9 Sting Scarfone -- the draw with Aztecs aside, this has been a disappointing campaign for a group that looked to be on the rise
#10 FC Dallas Hanlon -- a very talented group that is playing some very good teams well; still in need of a signature win to make a case they belong here, though

For those of you propping DT South, any explanation for their peculiar results of late. Started off PT strong beating #18 and 28 by a combined 14-0 and seemed like the real deal. Last few games theyve beat #7,14 and 16 by one goal each and #42 by an unimpressive 3-0. Did they lose players? Experimenting with line ups? Becoming disinterested? Just seems odd is all. Still haven't lost a game so perhaps a little nitpicky?

I would move my kid fast if she was on a supposed top 5 team and we were in a league playing #42 and 28 ranked teams. It does no good

Here is a little hint for your infinite wise self.

Teams are made in practice sessions... Not games. Fyi, if you have not been paying attention the last 4 years no other coach in DFW has created a top 3 academy team 4 years in a row : DTS 02, 03, 04, and 05. I think GA is obviously without doubt doing something right.

So in short feel free to team hop based on FBR and who your coach chases to play.

by 05girls 19/10/14, 07:40 am

Play whoever you want. Sounds like from your post that nothing is amiss. Just feel like you should be prepared for people to question those saying DTS is #1 while squeaking out wins vs 'inferior' teams.

I have no 05 and was simply educating a poster about the importance of chasing #1 teams in scheduling for academy.

I doubt DTS 05 parents care much either.

Never been a fan of the shelby either. Just FYI, my DD has been in the same place for the last 4 years. so obviously YOU dont know what your talking about. Never been a team hopper. But thanks for the education

by Hardly 19/10/14, 12:37 pm

I'm with you Shelby, fact is, they must be doing something right, or they wouldn't be amongst so many discussions. Each year GA continuously has a top team without a doubt. There's no argument here, DTS results/method proves exactly that. So, the haters, please discuss the short comings of your own DD's team.

by Guest 20/10/14, 06:16 am

Based on Sunday's results, my revised Human Rankings go something like this 1-7:
#1 Solar Pulp - Very talented team, based on Sunday's results, my guess is they are kicking that slump with a 3-0 victory over D'Feeters plus 3-0 victory the previous week over Hanlon which puts them in the CFBAL Championship game the 2nd weekend of November. They have 1 regular season game left with Sting Scarfone
#2 Sting Diaz - Haven't lost since Labor Day, will meet up with Solar Pulpaneck in the CFBAL Platinum Championship game to decide the real #1, finished the regular season 7-1-0 and #1 in the CFBAL standings.
#3 LP "Dirty" (The team Formally known as Hyypia) - Outstanding talent, but stumbled a bit yesterday versus Rush. Earning the Dirty team of the league comes honestly thru yellow cards for intentional dirty play. Disappointed their coach doesn't clean that up. Lucky for everyone's DD their season is over, finishing the season 5-2-1, pretty sure this name won't stick as it just doesn't have the ring the "Dirty South" once did.
#4 DT South - I haven't seen this team play but have heard they have an outstanding team.
#5 Lady Aztecs - In a bit of a slump but traditionally a strong team, they jump into the top 5 this week but don't play again until 2nd weekend in November.
#6 Solar Abbott - A tie yesterday versus Lady Aztecs and a 3-0 victory on Saturday vs Andromeda Rundell in TGPL keeps the Abbott Team in the top 6
#7 Dallas Rush - Good tie yesterday versus LP Dirty to move up the Human polls to #7, final game of the season versus LP Gerrard, need a solid win in that one to keep this spot.

Anyway, that is just where I see things as of now, but happy to hear your take...

by HandBallsInTheBox 21/10/14, 10:21 am

I swear I read a post yesterday saying Diaz played Parsons with 9 players, but now it's gone. What's up with that?

The yellows in the rush game were not from intentional dirty play. That ref was out of line. Go tell the parents of the girls that got a yellow their kid plays dirty and see what they have to say. Very disappointed with how all of that went down.

What are you referring? Will the parents of the player getting the cards physically harm those that do so? I love the irony of that comment
