Let's go on with the captain thing as it has been already introduced and it sounds fun. Let's only hope all the players will realise it and choose a captain for their team.

And yay! Noggerball's in the lead! First time in this tournament's history!

They say one shouldn't change a winning team... but I may consider a few changes as well. I'll come back to them - and my captain (Shasta you took my captain! Unfair! *) a bit later.

Arda Kicker Magazine will have some comentary on the game-thread before the second round of the group-stage begins.

* Basically there shouldn't be anything wrong with two players having the same captain - it's just an issue for me as I would like to have "my own" captain (to outscore you all alone for me! ). Well I have to find another candidate or just accept the fact of "sharing" a captain with someone else...

I think that we could assign a captain by default for the players who won't notice this change right away by choosing the player with the most stars, furthest down the list. My team's default captain using this system would be Fëanor.

No, let's do it. I just managed to miss your introduction of it somehow when skimming the thread. Sorry 'bout that. To make things easier I suggest that the captain of a team is market by a (C).

Like this: Maggot (C)

I will take advantage of the liberal transfer rules and do some wholesale changes:

Shadwell Army

GK Aule (Tuna)

DF Elfwine (Edoras)
DF Salgant (Gondolin)
DF Ar-Zimrathan (Armenelos
DF Celebrimbor* (Eregion)

MF Voronwe (Gondolin)
MF Fingon (Hithlum)
MF Glaurung* (Nargothrond)

F Tar-Minastir (Armenelos)
F Túrin ** (Dor-lomin)
F Fëanor (C) ** (Hithlum)

Fëanor's my captain, that is.

For this round, yes, since there will still be unlimited trades after round 2. The star limit will likely begin creeping up with the final round of group play.
