Before last season we didn't know too many things. We didn't know that Liza will completely turn it around at the time when a lot of people already wrote her off, we didn't know that Julia would have a bad season, we didn't know how well Elena will manage her first fully senior season... The same way we can do predictions, but we don't know whether one of those you are predicting great will have a bad season, we don't know whether Julia who had bad season last year will manage to turn it around the same way as Liza did, we don't know how well Evgenia will manage her first senior season. So all those predictions are more or less wishful thinking and personal belief in their abilities, but it probably won't be very accurate. If we predicted at the beginning of the last season, based on the result from the previous season, we would have been betting on Adelina and Julia, and yet none of them was chosen for Europeans or worlds team.The past with the available information on the present is not ideal but still the best predictor of the future. It will be the Fed who will declare the team - we can only guess here. And based on the past and what we know on the present my pre-season guess on Team 2016 is Liza, Elena, and Yulia. If Adelina suprises everyone at the nationals and there are no meltdowns among the other three we will witness a big drama. Smaller dramas will be related to other "super girls". How it all works out this year will influence significantly the next season and 2018.
My predictions are Evgenia, Julia, and the last spot will be fight between Anna, Serafima and Elena. Liza will be so much concentrating on fitting the axels in, that she will frequently mess up and it will cost her medals at several competitions.
