So in other words, all of the players in my team except two just got eliminated? How nice. I mean, ridiculous. There were definitely some people from obviously weak teams, but I never expected all three of Wilderland/Armenelos/Isengard to be eliminated. And at least Misty Mts or Valimar could have randomly stayed.
Okay, so that means... utter revamp, as much as I can. Means still leaving two totally useless players at least for this round (if not rather more)... but no can do. Technical question, Phantom - can we also completely change the formation? As in, if I e.g. have a 4-5-1 formation, I remove two midfielders, can I exchange them for forwards, which will leave me with a 4-3-3 formation, which is also a legitimate one?

Great! Then that makes it... a new team, for the first time also with full amount of stars!
UNHANDED HIPPIES --GK Uglúk (Isengard) ++ GK *Elrond (Eriador) --DF Frumgar (Anduin) ++DF *Ulmo (Sea) --DF Watcher (Misty Mts) ++DF *Celebrimbor (Dwarves Utd) --MF Estë (Valimar) ++FW Tuor (The Havens) --MF *Galadriel (Wilderland) ++FW *Glorfindel (Eriador) --FW *Saruman (Isengard) ++FW *Smaug (Erebor) UNDERHANDED UNHIPPIES GK *Elrond (Eriador) DF *Ulmo (Sea) Mauhúr (Isengard) *Celebrimbor (Dwarves Utd) Radagast (Rohan) MF Tar-Míriel (Armenelos) Gorbag (Mordor) *Khamul (Shire-Bree United) - C FW *Smaug (Erebor) *Glorfindel (Eriador) Tuor (The Havens) One trade remaining, I need to think about it. P.S. Phantom! One more thing I just discovered. I believe you have miscounted my points for the last round - at least as far as Galadriel is concerned. She has been my captain for two last rounds (I think you had it right previously but for some reason messed it up this time), so I should get twice the amount of points for her, shouldn't I? Not that it makes a big difference, but...

Got your captain changed, Legate. Not sure why it was switched...

People just have to decide how risky they want to play. Go for big reward or safety? There were five teams already guaranteed to advance after round 2, and if one chooses to include only one player from those teams then there's definitely the risk of eliminated players. Particularly with the full allowed three players from Isengard which most people (including you) didn't pick to advance. ![]() Apparently you didn't trust your pre-tourney picks enough. ![]() And Boro- I can't believe no playoff breakdowns! You'd better at least be ready for the quarterfinals, because at some point you must attempt to match your 7 of 8 score prediction from a few years ago. ![]() How about you, Nilp? Going to grant us some of your wisdom?

I have the predicted scores, but when I try doing a formal write-up my brain crashes. x.x
I'll see if today can change that.
