If you're going to make trades or predictions, get them up fast. The writers will be posting the semifinals in the next 2 or 3 days.

A few changes are certainly in order. Don't take it personally, Nerwen, dear. I just think we need a little more offensiveness in our offense, and when it comes to being offensive, you can't beat Phantom. (For the record, I've no idea how football really works.)

You are allowed NINE stars.
You are allowed THREE trades. You can sign FOUR players from a single team. You can gain bonus points (4 per match) for correct predictions in the finals, which are as follows... Bronze Match: Hithlum vs FC Valinor Championship Match: AC Beleriand vs Tol-In-Gaurhoth (Note: If Morm or Wilwa show they are allowed an extra trade this round.)

Preseason predictions update
(Disclaimer: All of these are unofficial, of course.)
Boro's winning the $100 million dollar team. I won't bother posting the list cos the only one who's close is Shasta, and it isn't. (198 with 7 active players for Boro v 186 with 8 for Shasta.) Coming into the final matchday, here are the phantasy points leader (per position): FW Túrin (HTH) 29 - Zil, morm, G55 Curufin (FCV) 25 - Shasta, Gwath Fëanor (ACB) 25 - Sally, Nilp, Legate, Boro, Nerwen, Wilwa MF PhantomWolf (TIG) 27 Beleg (HTH) 25 Argon (FCV) 23 Hador (HTH) 22 Yavanna (FCV) 20 - Zil, Shasta, Gwath DF Fingolfin (ACB) 25 - Boro, Wilwa BoroWolf (TIG) 23 NilpWolf (TIG) 22 Eonwe (FCV) 21 - Nilp, Gwath Draugluin (TIG) 14 - G55, Nerwen Balrog #5 (HTH) 12 - Legate GK Marach (ACB) 26 Huor (HTH) 24 Huan (FCV) 22 - morm, Sally, Nilp, Gwath, Boro, Nerwen Shasta (TIG) 22 Out of my challengers, Boro can get the most points (15) from these predictions. Good thing the gap between us is 29.  (Name on the trophy!)

Winners are T-I-G and FC Val. If I haven't gotten my changes in by tomorrow, I'll just roll with the team I'm using.

I think I am going to trust in my team, actually. But make Phantom the captain if I haven't already.

Such cruel choices...
To beat Nilp's twenty-one point lead I'd need to predict the games differently (8 points to gain there). But can I? Well, I think I have to... even if my brain says the results will be like Nilp says (or at least FC Valinor will win Hithlum - well, T-I-G might really win, but ehh...) T-I-G beats AC Beleriand FC Valinor takes a beating by Hithlum But even if that would go full my way I would still be down thirteen points - and I have already six players in common with Nilp in my team - and there aren't too many choices for some positions to pick differently in a reasoned way, and I have one redundant player in my team, and my current goalkeeper is the worst of the remaining ones and will face a real rain of shots. Blah. Decisions, decisions... My bet on Thuringwethil didn't pay off last round and I do have an urge to change her into Curufin (or maybe Eöl to take a more genuine take on the choices). But well, let's bet on T-I-G then for sure and keep her - and keep her as the captain. Go Thuringwethil! I'll change my goalie as well - but not to Shasta as Nilp has him. As a back-up surprise plan I'm giving away Hador (with a heavy heart as I think it would have been his turn to shine) in the midfield and look for an Aegnor hat-trick to save me if my game-predictions go down the drain. So basically I'm predicting other than Nilp but covering myself with a few choices in my team against my predictions of the games - and keeping my thumbs up it works... That means: -- GK Huor (Hithlum) -- DF Aragorn (Eriador) -- MF Hador (Hithlum) ++ GK Marach (AC Beleriand) ++ DF *Nilpwolf (T-I-G) ++ Aegnor (AC Beleriand) Noggportunistics GK – Marach (AC Beleriand) DF BoroWolf (T-i-G) DF *Nilpwolf (T-i-G) DF *Fingolfin (AC Beleriand) DF *Eönwe (FC Valinor) MF Argon (FCValinor) MF Aegnor (AC Beleriand) MF *PhantomWolf (T-i-G) FW **Feanor (AC Beleriand) FW Thuringwethil (T-i-G) C FW **Túrin (Hithlum)

Those two ran away with it, 30 pts clear or more from their nearest competitors. Whoever takes the win will move into 2nd place overall.) EDIT: The count and recount is in, and Boro has narrowly taken the ten bonus points and finishes second in the overall standings. FINAL PHANTASY STANDINGS Atashi no Negai- 367 We Didn't Start the Fire- 348 Lynch Mob- 340 Mooncrazed Remixed- 339 Noggportunistics- 322 Cupkicks- 308 Elven Pillars of Wisdom- 302 Unnamed Horror- 289 The Uncloakables- 260 Salt and Smoke- 250 Wilwa’s Winners- 234 FC Monkey Stink- 170 All hail Nilp, winner of this year's Phantasy Trophy! He took the lead in the very first round and never let it go, becoming (I believe) the first ever wire-to-wire champion. What a splendid performance!

The one year I doubt myself when I think to pick TiG....
But hey, a good year for me, I think! Congratulations to all, and especially my beloved champion.

Ah well, I'm slowly improving, I think.
Congrats to Nilp for the win, and thanks to all those who helped make this happen. I'm already looking to next year!

As the winner Nilp is allowed to negotiate a free-agent contract with one of next year's squads, so probably no NilpWolf on next year's TIG squad.
But we do know that there will be a LegateWolf on next year's roster, as Legate has taken Inzil's consolation prize from last year. The only thing up for debate is whether Mr. Legate would rather play as a forward or as a defender. (Morm or Wilwa would have been awarded the prize, but they were missing too often to qualify.)

Brightly woven, Nilp!
Seems like my predictions and tips this time around weren't very good, but certainly enjoyable stuff... and looking forward to next time. And also, well! In the sense of having one's name as part of the winning team, and all that, that's definitely a consolation enough. Splendid!
