I have hired an infinite number of monkeys with dartboards to advise me on all my picks, aided and abetted by my very own sense of randomness, to see if I come in utterly last or if blind luck will conquer all.
GK – Grimbeorn (Wilderland)
DF – *Balrog #2 (Angband)
DF – Shadowfax (Lothlorien)
DF – *Beren (Doriath)
DF – Nazgul #4 (Mordor)
MF – Grishnakh (Mordor)
MF – Skinbark (The Forest)
MF – *Finrod (Tirion)
FW – Smaug (Wilderland)
FW – GwathWolf (T-I-G)
FW – *Bombadil (The Forest)
As it turned out the monkeys seemed to have a serious thing going for just a few rather odd teams…well…ok, one of them isn’t quite as odd…
Who will score the most goals in the tournament? Turin (Doriath)
Who will have the most assists in the tournament? Hurin (Doriath) (I mean, honestly for consistency’s sake I have to pick him...oh wait...that's not what I'm trying to do here...)
Which team will win the tournament? Wilderland (I would pick Doriath…but they are heavy favorites so there is no way they will actually pull it off)
Which goalkeeper will score the most total phantasy points in the tournament? Huan (Doriath)
Which defender will score the most total phantasy points in the tournament? Morgoth (Angband)
Which midfielder will score the most total phantasy points in the tournament? Finrod (Tirion) This is my official *serious* sleeper pick.
Which forward will score the most total phantasy points in the tournament? Bombadil (The Forest) This is my official dangling out at the end of the limb pick.
Group A
1. Doriath
2. Shire-Bree United (I’m sticking to my guns on my Bombadil pick)
Group B
1. Wilderland
2. Misty Mountains
Group C
1. Anfaughlith
2. Angband
Group D
1. Eregion
2. Gondor
Group E
1. The Forest
2. Tol-In-Gaurhoth
Group F
1. Westernesse
2. Tol-Eressëa
Group G
1. Pelori
2. Valinor
Group H
1. Minas Morgul
2. Lothlorien (just to be different since everyone else seems to have these in reverse order)
There…those could be the seeds of a stunning victory or a humiliating defeat right there.
(I’d take money that it’s the latter…)
