Shield 100m team

Hrm, I'll re-jig Kamikaze Warg-Storm Frostdemon Apocalypse into a lesser form in order to meet the criteria. Let's see:

GK- Aradan (Hithlum) 5

DF- Snowmane (Rohan) 3
DF- Gothmog#2 (Barad-Dur) 6
DF- Gwaihir (Erebor) 10
DF- Grishnakh (Mordor) 5

MF- *Beren (AC Beleriand) 12
MF- Nienor (Hithlum) 6
MF- Celebrian (Valimar) 8

FW- **Feanor (AC Beleriand) (C) 22
FW- Celegorm (FC Valinor) 13
FW- Shelob (Mordor) 9



So there we have it! Let's see if I can win this year, at the fourth (or fifth?) time of asking.

Boots Gah! Math…my brain hurts!

I am displeased that because of the no more than two players from one team rule destroys my plan of having a team composed solely of dwarves.

In lieu of this I’m going to be as unbalanced as I possibly can in favor of offense…hopefully to the point of being absolutely, jibberingly unhinged. After…almost no thought whatsoever, I have decided to make my initial team for Phantasy my bought team as well. I record it here twice for Official Purposes (and hopefully succeed in putting a new spin on the old phrase of “I have some swamp land to sell you”).

Kuruharan’s Offensive Fever Swamp
GK Mumakil
DF Frumgar
DF Borondir
DF Haldad
DF Gorlim
MF Luthien
MF Yavanna
MF Aegnor
FW Finrod*
FW Turin** C
FW Sauron*

Kuruharan’s Bought and Paid for Offensive Fever Swamp
GK Mumakil (1)
DF Frumgar (2)
DF Borondir (2)
DF Haldad (1)
DF Gorlim (1)
MF Luthien (14)
MF Yavanna (10)
MF Aegnor (10)
FW Finrod* (14)
FW Turin** (24) C
FW Sauron* (21)

And for those who will point out that there are some obviously loony choices that would have made it “better”, please remember that I am throttled by the star system and the salary cap. Hopefully I will have the ability to get crazier with my Phantasy team as things progress. Believe me I would happily field a team composed completely of forwards and spend a billion dollars…or pounds…or euros…or yuan or whatever currency it is we are using with a combined ego the size of the galaxy.

I will post my answers to the questions later tonight when I have more time.

Phantom, my man, I'm nipping over to your side of the pond tomorrow; so if I've messed something up then I'm afraid I'll just have to suffer for a while!

Eomer? In... America?

Hello people! Without further ado, here I am, joining this cozy little group (blame Mr. Noggins).

I had no idea what a difficult business it is, and indeed I must concur. This took a while. But the basic team I have, yes, precious. All the rest coming in due time. For now... I present you...

Handy Hippies

GK Uglúk (Isengard)
DF Frumgar (Anduin)
DF Mauhúr (Isengard)
DF Watcher in da Water (Misty Mts)
DF Radagast (Rohan)
MF Tar-Míriel (Armenelos)
MF Estë (Valimar)
MF Gorbag (Mordor)
MF *Galadriel (Wilderland)
MF *Khamul (Shire-Bree United)
FW *Saruman (Isengard) -> C

I think this should work according to the rules... but since this is the first time I'm doing this, in case I did something illegal somewhere, feel free to correct me... but I think not.

Legate-san! Welcome to this product of phantom's imagination/simulation!!!

Since you're the first new player to sign, you (or rather LegateWight will be TiG's last midfielder, I think.

Btw, your squad is legal, but you have one extra star you can use. (You're not required to use it though, but stars are shiny.)

Thank'ee, Nilp-san! I know I'd have one more star, but with my choices, I was going by simply picking people I like (or I found interesting to add), and I might alter stuff in the future, depending on their performance. I will save making a "strong" team for the 100million-team, this one I will probably mostly follow just out of curiosity to see how those particular people (or "people") do

Btw, random question: when you are changing your team in the future, can you also change the captain? (And if so, does it count into the maximum number of choices etc.?)
