The EA2 team is heads and shoulders above all 3 Academy teams Albion fields at that age group. They also won head-to-head against the EA squad, but that squad was previously playing EA2 and was rebadged as EA when MM brought his EC crew to Albion and was given the EA2 slot. Honestly, the "correct" thing for Albion to do is to send their B12 EA team back to EA2 and assemble an EA squad out of the remnants of the EC EA2 roster and the MLSN kids that get pushed down after moving some of the truly excellent EC players onto those rosters.
But we all know parents will just go packing if their kids are "sent down" a level, so that would never happen.
