Some significant churn with some teams having as many as 30-40% new players in 2018-19. Is this typical?
Looks like LA Galaxy was the most aggressive when it came to recruiting for this year, and that LA Galaxy San Diego, Albion and LAUFA gave up the most most players. Also, LAFC looks like they shrank their roster a bit.
Any insights into why LAGSD, Albion and LAUFA gave up so many players? Was something was not right at those clubs or was it the appeal of new clubs ?
Am assuming LAG made a hard minded decision (probably pretty tough on the boys who weren't asked to stay on for 2018-19) to try to compete with LAFC. Is this incorrect/did those players leave on their own?
Caveats on the data is that a number of teams will add additional players to get to the USSDA minimum roster size (is this now 14 players? it was 16 last year), and the new u14 teams - TFA, Legends FC, OC Surf and SDSC - haven't posted their rosters yet to the USSDA website.
