The long awaited post...
 
Frealaf for Felarof
Cirdan for Finwe
Elros back for Theoden

and for predictions:

Hithlum versus Taniquetil: Hithlum wins

Eregion versus Dor-Lomin: a tough one, but Eregion wins

Armenelos versus Erebor: Armenelos wins

Edoras versus Minas Morgul: Edoras wins

Tuna versus Mirkwood: Tuna wins

Valimar versus Minas Tirith: Valimar wins

Hakon 06-23-2009 11:14 AM

You can't have Tom on your team. Bree is no longer in the competition. Also Tom is a two star player.

Nogrod 06-23-2009 11:18 AM

Neither should you have Idril of Alqualonde...

Eönwë 06-23-2009 12:03 PM

oh... wait... yeah... sorry about that....

I mean:

Replace Idril with Mardil
Replace Tom with Miriel

Make Eonwe cap'n o' this ship

The games are due to start very soon. I'm compiling a list of Phantasy teams right now to post. I will probably allow TGEW an extra trade after this round since she didn't make any after group play. Gwath will suffer a minor penalty for not changing his formation. And Nog- by my count you have 8 stars! :eek: You didn't count Tar Telperien's star it looks like. You still have time to change it if you move quick though.

Shastanis Althreduin 06-23-2009 12:35 PM

Yeah, Eonwe has 8 stars as well...

the phantom 06-23-2009 01:14 PM

Steve is okay. He accidentally gave Eonwe of Valimar an extra star.

Nogrod 06-23-2009 05:42 PM

Oops! I didn't notice Tar-Telperien had a star... So I have eight now (thanks tp for notifying me).

Okay I can't take anyone from the teams whose game has been posted or whose results I have been writing (as I know them).

Hmm... tough choice but my own fault. There are only a few good candidates for defence left there without a star on them...


Replace Tar-Telperien with Elfwine of Edoras.

Bah, I say.

Nope. I've had her (Miriel) from the very beginning and had her from the very beginning to the end last season as well... :) And I went mad when I realised Shasta had took her as a captain and refused to nominate her for a few rounds as I think we should have different captains at least in the beginning...

I took in Nerdanel after the last round (I had her almost from the beginning last year as well). Now she better make more than four points my ww-self did... :rolleyes:

Hakon 06-24-2009 04:41 PM

NOOOO. My team has fallen apart. I lost all my strikers, one of my midfielders and one defense. If Edoras loses then I have lost my GK and two defense. Turin and Feanor are my new star players.

I think that means each of these LotR teams gets matched with a real one. Tuna was Spain and Mirkwood was the US. I think I was right about the way who wins a match is decided.

Nogrod 06-24-2009 05:01 PM

Sorry but this Edoras - Minas Morgul match is becoming a full novel (not quality- but lengthwise)... :rolleyes: It will be ready quite soon, half an hour, I promise...

And the next time I will be more economic.

Hakon 06-24-2009 06:03 PM

If Valimar wins then I have three people left on my team. If Valimar loses then I only have Ar Zimrathan on my team.

You're not the only one losing players at this round... :confused:

But your losses seem to be considerable... But look at the bright side of it: fresh team in your hands on the next round (insofar as how many changes are allowed)! :)

Hakon 06-24-2009 06:38 PM

True. I am definitely bringing Feanor back. I kept him up until the last round.

TheGreatElvenWarrior 06-24-2009 06:39 PM

I like Turin, that's all I have to say...

Hakon 06-24-2009 06:43 PM

Feanor and Turin are the best forwards of this round. Dor Lomin plays Hithlum next round. Only one of them will remain in the competition and I think it will be Feanor. Turin just had a round of luck.

Hmm... Well, Feanor and Turin... I'd say they're both pretty good guys, I couldn't predict who out of the two of them will win though...

Hakon 06-24-2009 06:50 PM

That is why you have to look at the rest of the players on their teams.

Exactly. Who has the best group? It's all a matter of opinion. You have to figure it out yourself, that one.

Nogrod 06-24-2009 07:04 PM

Looking at the personal scores the Túna forwards were just on the level of their own!

Nerdanel 20pts., Finwë 21pts. and Miriel 26pts.


Compare that to Dor-Lomin: Beleg 17pts. and Túrin 19pts.

Or Hithlum: Aredhel 14pts., Maedhros 11pts. and Fëanor 21pts.

Or the infamous T-I-G: nogwolf 12pts., gwathwolf 6pts. and SPMwolf 14pts.


But this is a game and in games the best do not always win... :rolleyes:

the phantom 06-24-2009 07:18 PM

As soon as Skip posts the final game I will post point tallies.

Everyone's team has taken a hit, though some are far worse than others. :eek: Deciding who you will add and subtract at this point could really swing things! And predictions for the next few rounds will be an important source of points as well.

Hakon 06-24-2009 07:19 PM

Is the star cap still going to be seven?

the phantom 06-24-2009 07:28 PM

Nope.

The new star cap is eight.

And just so everyone sees it....

STARTING NEXT ROUND YOU ARE ALLOWED EIGHT STARS ON YOUR ROSTER!

And remember, this is the playoffs now. You are only allowed two trades. Use them wisely. You may begin trades after I have posted Phantasy points for this round.
