SF have went from 900 to 1900 votes in Killultagh DEA in Lisburn/Castlereagh of all places.
They could have ran 2 candidates with those sorts of numbers!

Demographics are changing very quickly in placrs like that.

Cookstown DEA, Mid-Ulster Council, 7 seats
2019: 3 x Sinn Féin, 1 x SDLP, 1 x DUP, 2 x UUP

On the Nationalist side it will probably be as you were. The same 4 SF/SDLP candidates are running again after being elected comfortably last time. I see no reason why it won't happen again.
An independant republican or Aontú may have made things interesting but neither are running here.

Unionists could see a change. The second UUP candidate squeaked past a second DUP candidate for the 7th seat last time. I cant see them being so lucky again given the DUPs rising poll numbers.

Prediction
3 x Sinn Féin, 1 x SDLP, 2 x DUP, 1 x UUP
1 DUP gain
1 UUP loss

Looking like exactly this. SF have went from 42% to over 50%. They'll run 4 next time for sure.
