Middle Earth Fantasy Football World Cup

[Sleepy Ranger]

Why do you Sleepy say that we should consider the first fixtures according to our choices?

It's always good to get in a fair number of points in the first round. It's just a suggestion, nothing more.

Aren't every team going to play exactly the same amount of matches?

Yes, only in the first stage of the tournament. Since the second is a knockout round, it would be rather unpredicatble.

When indeed is the time when we may change our line-ups for those ten changes we have - are there some restrictions?

The ten trades are now in effect. Any change made now will be considered a trade.

Is there any additional "charge" if many players (coaches?) will like to sign the same player later?

I don't quite understand your question. If you're asking whether if you have a player but trade him out and then want to trade him back in will there be a charge, then yes. Once a player is traded out to trade him back in you will have to use up a trade so yeah, use your trades wisely.

Or any advantage if someone has picked the "hot-player" already in the round robin -phase?

It's always an advantage to have the player on a streak in your team. You won't get any bonuses for the player being the best though.

Can the managers trade players between themselves if both agree and are these counted to the general trade-numbers (how many players one can change on each step of the tournament)?

No, all teams are independant of the other and therefore inter-team trades are not allowed. Managers may have the same player, in fact, they may have completely identical teams since neither team would be affected by the other. All trades are only possible in regards to the main roster.

Hopefully that clears it up!
