How’s the 2024-2025 season going?

It’s totally allowed. With the roster rules and and discovery rules you can get anyone needed at any point during the season or before playoffs to help your team. It’s definitely within the rules. My point is it’s crazy clubs are going to those lengths to win. Also for any non Southwest club I mean Southwest already has ECNL on lock anyway but now with doing that I don’t see any non Southwest team ever winning a championship.

This is just how things are now.

The problem with national recruiting is once it becomes institutionalized everyone will start doing it to be competitive. Watch, in the future instead of ranking teams there will be a player ranking app. Which will allow superteams to be created of players 100% independent of a club. You think this sounds crazy but AI can likely already track minutes, goals, touches for all players in a video of a game.

There's a reason MLS has a 60 mile radius for homegrown players.

As far as I’m aware legends is not flying in anyone. It’s just Koge and Surf for the 10’s.

I heard the same thing

You really think SW is going to sweep all 6 championships this year, and every year going forward?

Seems unlikely, even with the top teams adding a couple ringers.

For 2010 yes I 100% do.

Ah. 2010 only.

Even then, not so sure. Solar’s looking pretty good these days, and they read the same rule book you do. And Fusion looked sharp even missing a key player.

I hope the eventual winner gets there without flying in talent. It would be a shame if remote players became META for youth sports.
