Some NorCal teams with similarities to EPL Clubs...

I could be wrong but I would be shocked If MVLA/Mustang would ever be okay with lamo/SV into ECNL. Maybe ECNL wouldn't care at this point but in the past, that was part of why they weren't ECNL. I will be interested to see what SV is like without Stanislaus kids. That was a major part of them doing well in GA. Lamo is top notch in general and would be fun to see how they do playing other top teams since GA is boring for most of their teams.

If they did join ECNL I'm sure there would be some player movement in and out so hard to say how LAMO teams would end up.
I know some of their age groups have scrimmaged ECNL teams. I haven't heard that they won any of them.
I do think it would be good for them to move if given the oppty though.

Right now, LAMO's strongest age group is U14/2012G (by percentile SR). They are quite up there, 8th in the state overall. But they'd still be expected to lose by ~2 goals to the MVLA team of that age, and ~3 goals by Koge. Who knows what would actually happen if they ever switched conferences in terms of player movement in or out - but this is hypothetically what would happen if they teleported there intact. They can clearly compete at the highest levels - but there are still significant differences even when you get up to that level.
