Just letting everyone know, the games of round 2 will start rolling on Sunday.

Excellent. I'll try to do my picks tomorrow evening, but if I forget, phantom, you have my permission to phone me and shout a lot.

Hyarmendacil Balrog #2 Vana Ingwe Arveleg Arien ++ Tulkas Olwe Borowolf Aegnor Cirdan Hurin GK: *Tulkas (Real Valinor) DF: Maglor (FC Valinor) DF: Aragorn (Eriador) DF: Olwe (The Havens) DF: Borowolf (TIG) MF: Aegnor (ACB) MF: *Yavanna (FC Valinor) MF: Cirdan (The Havens) FW: *Curufin (FC Valinor) C FW: *Miriel (Real Valinor) FW: Hurin (Hithlum) |
I'm actually decently happy with my squad, at least enough to give them another round as they are. Switching captaincy to Curufin is tempting, and not doing so will probably put me down the list a little, but I'd rather stay consistent than chase after previous victories. After all, Smaug is a flipping dragon. Also, this.
Cupkicks, Round Two: Twice as Sweet to Avoid Defeat GK: *Huan (FC Val) DF: Balrog #4 (AC Bel) DF: Aragorn (Eriador) DF: BoroWolf (TiG) DF: *Morgoth (Angband) MF: NogWight (Eriador) MF: Daeron (Doriath) MF: NerWight (TiG) FW: *Curufin (FC Val) FW: *Smaug (Erebor) (C) FW: Thuringwethil (TiG) |
You know, I think I'm just going to go ahead and give my team one more shot. Leave it as is for round two.
|
I came back, but not back enough to figure out what's going on (or I'm just too busy defending one epic hero over at the Books forum :p). Can someone tell me where we are right now and what/if I need to do something to my team in the near future?
|
Perfect timing, Galadriel. Round 2 just finished. I'll be posting the points and such shortly....
|
As we so often do, we’ll begin by showing how many points there were to be gained with the perfect alignment.
The Perfect Team GK *Elrond (Eriador)- 6 DF Balrog#5 (Hithlum)- 5 DF Ingwion (RealVal)- 10 DF *Caranthir (Tirion)- 7 DF Uinen (Sea)- 6 MF Aegnor (ACBel) C- 10 MF Argon (FCVal)- 9 MF Nienor (Nargothrond)- 5 FW Eol (ACBel)- 7 FW Legolas (DwUnt)- 8 FW *DBane (MMts)- 7 TOTAL = 90 And here is how everyone fared. Let me know if there’s a mistake on any of these. (Arien's score corrected.) Lynch Mob GK *Tulkas (RealVal)- 4 DF Maglor (FCVal)- 4 DF Aragorn (Eriador)- 4 DF Olwe (Havens)- 0 DF BoroWolf (TIG)- 4 MF Aegnor (ACBel)- 10 MF *Yavanna (FCVal)- 4 MF Cirdan (Havens)- 3 FW *Curufin (FCVal) C- 0 FW *Miriel (RealVal)- 3 FW Hurin (Hithlum)- 3 TOTAL = 39 Atashi no Negai GK *ShastaWolf (TIG)- 4 DF Nahar (RealVal)- 4 DF Ingwion (RealVal)- 10 DF Amras (Tirion)- 4 DF BoroWolf (TIG)- 4 MF Tar-Míriel (Armen)- 0 MF Nazgul#3 (Wilder)- 0 MF Argon (FCVal)- 9 FW Finrod (Narg)- 3 FW *Curufin (FCVal)- 0 FW **Turin (Hithlum) C- 7 TOTAL = 52 We Didn't Start the Fire GK *Elrond (Eriador) C- 6 DF BoroWolf (TIG)- 4 DF Celeborn (Anduin)- 2 DF *Eonwe (FCVal)- 4 DF *Morgoth (Angband)- 4 MF Boromir II (Anduin)- 5 MF Azog (MMts)- 5 MF Cirdan (Havens)- 3 FW TarMinastir (Sea)- 3 FW Finwe (Tirion)- 4 FW *Sauron (BDur)- 7 TOTAL = 53 The Mooncrazed Remixed GK *Huan (FCVal)- 4 DF Balrog #5 (Hithlum)- 5 DF Aragorn (Eriador)- 4 DF Balrog #4 (ACBel)- 1 MF *Yavanna (FCVal)- 4 MF *Beleg (Hithlum)- 5 MF Hador (Hithlum)- 5 MF Arveleg (Eriador)- 1 MF Aegnor (ACBel)- 10 MF NerWight (TIG)- 4 FW *Curufin (FCVal) C- 0 TOTAL = 43 Noggportunistics GK *ShastaWolf (TIG)- 4 DF Thorondor (FCVal)- 4 DF Amras (Tirion)- 4 DF Alatar (BDur)- 2 DF *Tilion (RealVal)- 4 MF NerWight (TIG)- 4 MF Hador (Hithlum)- 5 MF *Yavanna (FCVal)- 4 FW Aredhel (Tirion)- 4 FW Thranduil (Wilder)- 4 FW *Miriel (RealVal) C- 3 TOTAL = 45 Cupkicks GK *Huan (FCVal)- 4 DF Balrog #4 (ACBel)- 1 DF Aragorn (Eriador)- 4 DF BoroWolf (TIG)- 4 DF *Morgoth (Angband)- 4 MF NogWight (Eriador)- 4 MF Daeron (Doriath)- -1 MF NerWight (TIG)- 4 FW *Curufin (FCVal)- 0 FW *Smaug (Erebor) C- 0 FW Thuringwethil (TIG)- 4 TOTAL = 28 Eleven Pillars of Wisdom GK *ShastaWolf (TIG)- 4 DF Amras (Tirion)- 4 DF BoroWolf (TIG)- 4 DF Maglor (FCVal)- 4 DF *Fingolfin (ACBel)- 2 MF Aegnor (ACBel)- 10 MF Morwen (Hithlum)- 3 MF Nessa (RealVal)- 1 MF *Glorfindel (Eriador)- 1 FW Thuringwethil (TIG)- 4 FW *Curufin (FCVal) C- 0 TOTAL = 37 Unnamed Horror GK *Elrond (Eriador)- 6 DF Celeborn (Anduin)- 2 DF BoroWolf (TIG)- 4 DF Draugluin (TIG)- 4 DF *Morgoth (Angband)- 4 MF *Beren (InterBel)- -1 MF NerWight (TIG)- 4 MF Nienor (Narg)- 5 FW *Curufin (FC Val) C- 0 FW Ar Pharazon (Armen)- 3 FW Nerdanel (RealVal)- 4 TOTAL = 35 Salt and Smoke GK Tar-Atanamir (Armen)- 4 DF Uinen (Sea)- 6 DF GaladriWight (TIG)- 4 DF Radagast (Wilder)- 3 DF *Varda (Imladris)- 0 MF Tar-Míriel (Armen)- 0 MF NogWight (Eriador)- 4 MF *Saruman (Isengard)- 3 FW Khamul (SBUnt)- 0 FW *Scatha (Wilder) C- 4 FW *Arien (Valimar)- 4 TOTAL = 36 FC Monkey Stink GK Galadriel (DwUnt)- 4 DF Nienna (RealVal)- 4 DF Balrog#5 (Hithlum)- 5 DF Arwen (Eriador)- 4 DF Alatar (BDur)- 2 MF *Elwe (Doriath)- 0 MF *Glorfindel (Eriador) C- 1 MF Cirdan (Havens)- 3 MF Aegnor (ACBel)- 10 FW *Arien (Valimar)- 4 FW *Miriel (RealVal)- 3 TOTAL = 41 Wilwa's Winners GK Marach (ACBel)- 2 DF Celeborn (Anduin)- 2 DF Uinen (Sea)- 6 DF BoroWolf (TIG)- 4 DF *Morgoth (Angband)- 4 MF Cirdan (Havens)- 3 MF *Yavanna (FCVal)- 4 MF Idril (Gondolin)- 0 FW *Miriel (RealVal) C- 3 FW *Smaug (Erebor)- 0 FW Ar Pharazon (Armen)- 3 TOTAL = 34 The Uncloakables GK *Ungoliant (Angfaug)- 4 DF *Morgoth (Angband)- 4 DF BoroWolf (TIG)- 4 DF Aragorn (Eriador) C- 4 DF Luthien (InterBel)- -1 MF *Elwe (Doriath)- 0 MF Hador (Hithlum)- 5 MF Argon (FCVal)- 9 FW *Gothmog (Angfaug)- 0 FW Legolas (DwUnt)- 8 FW ArPharazon (Armen)- 3 TOTAL = 44 Round 2 Point Standings We Didn’t Start the Fire- 53 Atashi no Negai- 52 Noggportunistics- 45 The Uncloakables- 44 Mooncrazed Remixed- 43 FC Monkey Stink- 41 Lynch Mob- 39 Elven Pillars of Wisdom- 37 Salt and Smoke- 36 Unnamed Horror- 35 Wilwa’s Winners- 34 Cupkicks- 28 So we add this to the points you made the first round and here is how it stands... Total Point Standings Atashi no Negai- 112 Lynch Mob- 97 We Didn’t Start the Fire- 92 Mooncrazed Remixed- 88 Noggportunistics- 86 The Uncloakables- 78 Elven Pillars of Wisdom- 76 Cupkicks- 76 Unnamed Horror- 75 Wilwa’s Winners- 72 FC Monkey Stink- 65 Salt and Smoke- 59 The big movers this round were Boro climbing three slots and Inzil climbing four slots. And in the meantime a solid round from Nilp grew his first place lead. |
You have unlimited trades this round, but this is the last time that happens. Next round you're only allowed seven trades, so you'd better not have more than seven of your players get eliminated. (A guide to which teams risk elimination can be found here.)
You are now allowed five stars on your squad. Best of luck. :) Round 3 Games Armenelos vs Barrow-Downs Havens vs Valimar AC Beleriand vs Dwarves United Inter Beleriand vs Gondolin Shire-Bree United vs Real Valinor Doriath vs Hithlum Barad-Dur vs FC Valinor Gondor vs Isengard Erebor vs Misty Mts Eriador vs Wilderland Nargothrond vs Tirion Minas Tirith vs The Sea Angband vs Imladris Angfauglith vs Tol-In-Gaurhoth Arnor vs Rohan Anduin vs Mordor |
Well that was unpleasant....
|
I'm probably gonna change my mind on a midfield slot and a defender or two, but, then again, I might not.
Atashi no Negai ~more aggressive~ GK Hyarmendacil (The Sea) DF BoroWolf (Tol-in-Gaurhoth) DF Balrog #4 (AC Beleriand) DF Tar-Telperiën (Armenelos) DF *Ulmo (The Sea) MF Tar-Míriel (Armenelos) MF *Elros (Armenelos) MF *Glorfindel (Eriador) FW Finrod (Nargothrond) FW *Curufin (FC Valinor) FW *Miriel (Real Valinor) (C) |
Well, this was definitely better than first round, but still nothing so great. But I am being conservative. Let's see about these.
--DF Radagast --MF Saruman --FW Khamul ++DF Balrog#5 ++MF Glorfindel ++FW Glaurung So, we have: Salt and More Smoke GK Tar-Atanamir (Armenelos) DF Uinen (The Sea) DF GaladriWight (TIG) DF Balrog#5 (Hithlum) DF *Varda (Imladris) MF Tar-Míriel (Armenelos) MF NogWight (Eriador) MF *Glorfindel (Eriador) FW *Glaurung (Nargothrond) FW *Scatha (Wilderland) FW *Arien (Valimar) C |
Let's see if I can keep the current trend going.
--GK *Ungoliant (Angband) ++GK Marach (AC Beleriand) --MF *Elwe (Doriath) ++MF *Phantomwolf (TIG) --FW Legolas (Dwarves United) ++FW *Miriel (Real Valinor) --FW Ar Pharazon (Armenelos) ++FW *Curufin (FC Valinor) GK- Marach (AC Beleriand) DF *Morgoth (Angband) DF BoroWolf (TIG) DF Aragorn (Eriador) (C) DF Luthien (Inter Beleriand) MF *Phantomwolf (TIG) MF Hador (Hithlum) MF Argon (FC Valinor) FW *Gothmog (Angfauglith) FW *Miriel (Real Valinor) FW *Curufin (FC Valinor) |
Okay... going quite fine but Mr. Nilp & co are getting a bit too far ahead. So some drastic measures - and coming back towards my team-roots then.
I'm changing the whole "downstairs" of my team and basically going even more for my first year's "Beauties and the Beasts" -team spirits allowing only females and beasts / creatures of some sort into my team... there will be still two exceptions with that principle but I will - or then not - try to get to deal with them later... :rolleyes: So, the changes: -- GK *Shastawolf (T-I-G) ++ GK Amroth (Anduin) -- DF Thorondor (FC Valinor) -- DF Amras (Tirion) -- DF Alatar (Barad-Dûr) -- DF *Tilion (Real Valinor) ++ DF Rochallor (AC Beleriand) ++ DF BoroWolf (T-I-G) ++ DF *Ulmo (The Sea) ++ DF *Morgoth (Angband) -- MF NerWight (T-I-G) ++ MF NogWight (Eriador) -- FW Thranduil (Wilderland) ++ *Arien (Valimar) Which results in the following team for round three. Noggportunistics GK - Amroth (Anduin) DF - Rochallor (AC Beleriand) DF - BoroWolf (T-I-G) DF - *Ulmo (The Sea) DF - *Morgoth (Angband) MF - NogWight (Eriador) MF - Hador (Hithlum) MF - *Yavanna (FC Valinor) FW - Aredhel (Tirion) FW - *Arien ( Valimar) C FW - *Miriel (Real Valinor) EDIT: A change: I'll put all on Arien this round... thence the captaincy (she made me the champion last season - now it's time to see if she can deliver this time as well) moves from Miriel to her. |
Well the overhaul definitely worked, but I'm still dreading how long I can hold off taking Curufin until the rest get too far ahead. :p
We Didn't Start the Fire GK *Elrond (Eriador) C DF BoroWolf (TIG) DF Celeborn (Anduin) DF *Eonwe (FCVal) DF *Morgoth (Angband) MF Boromir II (Anduin) MF Azog (MMts) MF Cirdan (Havens) FW TarMinastir (Sea) FW Finwe (Tirion) FW *Sauron (BDur) ----- --DF Celeborn --DF *Eonwe ++DF *Fingolfin ++DF *Tilion --MF Azog --MF Cirdan ++MF *Elros ++MF Angrod --FW Finwe --FW *Sauron ++FW Eldacar ++FW Orome ---- We Didn't Start the Fire GK *Elrond (Eriador) C DF BoroWolf (TIG) DF *Tilion (Real Valinor) DF *Fingolfin (ACBel) DF *Morgoth (Angband) MF Boromir II (Anduin) MF Angrod (ACBel) MF *Elros (Armenelos) FW TarMinastir (Sea) FW Eldacar (Gondor) FW Orome (Real Valinor) ---- Not as drastic as a shake up but I've always wondered how this ever-revolving door of "what no-star FWs could have a great game?" guesses will pan out. |
Games will likely start going up the 3rd or the 4th, so get your trades done, or at least let us know you intend to do trades so we know to hold off for you.
Per her PM instructions this is Galadriel's team (unless of course she gets back in time and chooses to adjust it). Unnamed Horror GK *Elrond (Eriador) DF Celeborn (Anduin) DF BoroWolf (TIG) DF Draugluin (TIG) DF *Morgoth (Angband) MF *Yavanna (FCVal) MF NerWight (TIG) MF Nienor (Narg) FW *Miriel (RealV) FW Ar Pharazon (Armen) FW Nerdanel (RealV) |
I'm back, but couple "resource limit is reached" with my recently turned bad connection and it takes forever to do anything on the Downs... Tonight? :Merisu:
|
--Celeborn (Anduin)
++*Fingolfin (AC Bel) --Draugluin (TIG) ++Uinen (Sea) --*Miriel (Real) ++Curufin (FCVal) Unnamed Horror GK *Elrond (Eriador) DF *Fingolfin (AC Bel) DF BoroWolf (TIG) DF Uinen (Sea) DF *Morgoth (Angband) MF *Yavanna (FCVal) MF NerWight (TIG) MF Nienor (Narg) FW *Curufin (FCVal) FW Ar Pharazon (Armen) FW Nerdanel (RealV) Really want to squist Hurin in there somewhere, but I don't want to replace any of the FWs I have now... sucks. |
Hey, I'll be getting to my picks on Saturday, so keep your phants on. :p

Tulkas Aragorn Olwe Cirdan Curufin ++ Shastawolf Balrog #4 Ingwion Tar Aldarion Glorfindel GK: *Shastawolf (TIG) DF: Maglor (FC Valinor) DF: Balrog #4 (ACB) DF: Ingwion (RV) DF: Borowolf (TIG) MF: Aegnor (ACB) MF: *Yavanna (FC Valinor) MF: Tar Aldarion (The Sea) MF: *Glorfindel (Eriador) FW: Hurin (Hithlum) FW: *Miriel (Real Valinor) C |
After that abysmal round, it's time for some changes.
Cupkicks GK *ShastaWolf (TiG) (Captain, my captain) DF *Fingolfin (AC Bel) DF Aragorn (Eriador) DF BoroWolf (TiG) DF *Morgoth (Angband) MF NogWight (Eriador) MF *Glorfindel (Eriador) MF NerWight (TiG) FW Finrod (Nargothrond) FW Aredhel (Tirion) FW *Curufin (FC Val) Hopefully that maths out correctly. I won't be checking the Downs again today, so if anything's wrong, Phantom, call me. I had to do it pretty quickly, and I put a lot of stake in a few teams, so I hope I don't get shafted during this round of play. :/ |
The first games of Round 3 will be up within 12 hours and the rest will follow. Move fast if you want to get any trades in.

Seems I missed this round– I’ve been without internet for a few days, and before that the site wouldn’t let me post. Ah well.
|
Ah, yes, tech difficulties. We love those!
You can make a few trades that don't involve players that have played already if you wish, Nerwen. (Groups A & C have played thus far) |
Thanks, tp, but I really don’t have time right now, anyway.

As we so often do, we’ll begin by showing how many points there were to be gained with the perfect alignment.

Before we award the points, there are a few things worth pointing out in the predictions. Everyone called Real Valinor and Eriador advancing. Only one person didn't call TIG advancing. Only two people didn't call Valimar, Armenelos, AC Beleriand, Barad-Dur, or FC Valinor. Only Inzil, Boro, and Wilwa had Gondolin advancing. Only Morm, Boro, and Wilwa had Misty Mts advancing. Only Boro and Morm got Group E correct. Only Legate and Nog got Group H correct. Only Legate got Group F correct. Legate had the most group-winners correct, with 7 of 8. Nog got the most total points. 27 pts- Nog 25 pts- Legate & Wilwa 21 pts- Nilp & Shasta 20 pts- Gwath 19 pts- Galadriel 18 pts- Nerwen & Morm & Boro 16 pts- Sally 4 pts- Inzil Which means the points standings are… Total Point Standings Before Playoffs Atashi no Negai- 181 We Didn’t Start the Fire- 164 Noggportunistics- 164 Lynch Mob- 155 Mooncrazed Remixed- 151 Wilwa’s Winners- 138 Cupkicks- 135 Unnamed Horror- 132 The Uncloakables- 127 Elven Pillars of Wisdom- 127 Salt and Smoke- 127 FC Monkey Stink- 126 Our biggest positive movers this round—Wilwa leaped up four spots, and Nog moved up two spots. And if everything was added correctly, it seems there is a huge pile-up at the back. And to see how close it is, if any of them had 12 more points they’d be in the top half of the standings instead of in the rear. And speaking of being close, it seems Nilp is the only one not interested in it. He has grown his lead to 17 points. But of course that’s not insurmountable by any means… |
You are allowed six stars.
You are allowed seven trades. (It doesn't matter how many times you swap out players- what matters is that the team you end up with must have FOUR players that are on your squad currently.) You can also gain bonus points for correctly predicting the winner in each playoff match (one point per game). The match-ups are... Arnor vs Valimar Angband vs AC Beleriand Tirion vs Real Valinor Misty Mts vs FC Valinor Barad-Dur vs Eriador Hithlum vs Nargothrond Gondolin vs Tol-In-Gaurhoth Anduin vs Armenelos (In case you wondered, winner of the top match (Arnor-Valimar) faces winner of second match (Angband-AC) and so on down the line for the next round.) |
Gwath and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad round. Yuck.
|
I am very disappointed in a certain NogWight.... :smokin:
I'll hopefully make my changes by the end of the week. I definitely need some work.... |
Too soon to say, 'Mind the gap'?

I thought in the beginning I would not sign him in to my team but then he started performing really well (second best in phantasy-points after Elrond in team Eriador) and suddenly it seemed like an option as a non-starred midfielder... and what did I earn from him? Zero points. :( :rolleyes: Btw. there will be some crazily hard to predict games on the next round. Fun! |
Sorry I missed the last round. Caught me in the middle of moving. Hopefully I didn't do too badly. :)

Time to make changes... those underlined are kicked out.

GK - Tar Atanamir (Armenelos) DF - Vana (Valimar) DF - Aragorn (Eriador) DF - * Tilion (Real Valinor) MF - Argon (FC Valinor) FW - ** Fëanor (AC Beleriand) Which will result in the following team: Noggportunistics GK – Tar Atanamir (Armenelos) DF – Vana (Valimar) DF – Borowolf (TIG) DF – Aragorn (Eriador) DF – *Tilion (Real Valinor) MF – Argon (FC Valinor) MF – Hador (Hithlum) MF – *Yavanna (FC Valinor) FW - ** Fëanor (AC Beleriand) FW – *Arien (Valimar) C FW – *Miriel (Real Valinor) ~*~ My bets for the winners of the first play-off round will be (winners bolded): Valimar beats Arnor. AC Beleriand has the better off Angband in a real fight. Real Valinor proves tougher than Tirion in the end. FC Valinor gives Misty Mountains no chance. Eriador denies Barad-Dûr and wears them down. From a real thriller against Nargothrond Hithlum emerges triumphant. T-I-G has to give their best to beat Gondolin - and they deliver. Anduin has not what it takes to beat Armenelos and loses. PS. To ever hope catching Nilp one must play differently - alea iacta est! :cool: |
Changed my prediction in Anduin v Armenelos to Armenelos.

Another change.
Amazing what happens when you're trying to write predictions.

In any case, this round in total looks MUCH better than the previous ones! I'm on the rise, watch out! (Hope it continues that way...) Quote:

Man, I keep having good rounds and still seems like I'm losing ground. :rolleyes:.
