I think Union 10 could make a little noise in the West. I would expect them to fall short against Gaffa, but if they play them close, and maybe sneak a draw, that will be telling.. They were good last year, and appear to have a solid core returning.

I think AFC Mobile just isn't back up to speed after being in hiatus for 2023. They've still had players coming in, so things could change. But I expect Tallahassee to win easily

Yeah, I realized as I was writing that I don’t really know anything about those teams; it’ll be interesting to look back at this in a few weeks.

That's one of the things about being a creator for teams and leagues this far down. There's too many teams, and too much turnover, to truly have deep knowledge about them all. Even if you were JUST doing TLFC Gulf Coast, that's still 9 whole team, from 8 different clubs, in 4 different states, covering a landmass about the size of mainland Portugal. The best you can do it use what knowledge you have, and what research you can gather, to put together a great article like this one.

Thanks, Christopher. There’s so much more I’d like to do, but my wife insists I need more than soccer in life 😂. I do enjoy it, though, I’ll keep working at it.

I feel like that for most of these teams myself. I've paid more attention to Union and AFC than most others, just because they're in Alabama. And my wife has a friend whose son plays for Union
