So I picked the good teams, but terrible players. Ah well. With my two trades, I have just around a full team. Let's see if they can play like they mean it in the quarters.

--Earendil (Eregion)
--Celebrimbor (Eregion)

++Ar Adunakhor (Armenelos)
++Gloredhel (Dor-Lomin)

The Next-to-Last Alliance
*GK- Tar Atanamir (Armenelos)
*DF- Balrog #3 (Valimar)
-DF- Gloredhel (Dor-Lomin)
-DF- Elfwine (Edoras)
-DF- Balrog #5 (Angband)
*MF- Phantomwolf (TIG)
*MF- Ar Adunakhor (Armenelos)
-MF- Fingon (Hithlum)
*FW- Maedhros (Hithlum) (C)
*FW- Sauron (Armenelos)
*FW- Maeglin (Angband)

My picks:

Angband vs Tol-in-Gaurhoth - While I would love to say Angband, they just don't have the stopping power this year without Melkor or their legions of Balrogs. T-i-G

Dor-Lomin vs Hithlum - Dor-Lomin got farther than I expected them to, but Hithlum is on top. Hithlum

Armenelos vs Minas Morgul - Now this is a matchup. Numenoreans vs. Nazgul, Men vs. Orcs, and Sauron vs. the Witch King. Armenelos

Mirkwood vs Valimar - Mirkwood has a good all-around roster, emphasizing teamwork between Men, Elves, and Worse things. Valimar has near-divine power on their side. I know who I'm going for. Valimar

Alright, one little adjustment. I had taken out Indis and put in Uldor. Uldor got some extra points last time because of an assist...so I think it's actually the right time to remove *DF-Uldor (Angband) and replace him with his fellow teammate *DF- Drauglin (Angband).

Hoping it's actually Drauglin's turn on the team to pick up some extra points with an assist...hmm or even a goal! So...

Boro's Blunderbusters
*GK- Huan (Hithlum)
-DF- Ar Zimrathan (Armenelos)
*DF- Drauglin (Angband)
*DF- Balrog #3 (Valimar)
*DF- Ulmo (Hithlum)

-MF- Nazgul #6 (Mirkwood)
-MF- Beruthiel (Minas Morgul)
-MF- Earendil (Eregion)

*FW- Eonwe (Valimar)
*FW- Sauron (Armenolos)
**FW- Feanor (Hithlum) (C)

I'm surprised you didn't get rid of your two deadwood players, Boro.

He did, Shasta. He had four dead players- now he has two. His Uldor trade for Drauglin was basically just taking back his Indis for Uldor trade and making it Indis for Drauglin instead.

Wow! Only 5 active players. Predictions:

If all that happens I may have a decent team for the Semi-finals.

Ok, sorry I was gone and didn't get the message about my invalid formation. Oops. So, the question is, should I conduct my trades now based on the latest valid formation I had used?

Interesting dilemma, Gwath. Hmm... you currently have 3-5-2, so if you traded one of your dead FWs (Miriel or Nerdanel) for a MF, you'd have a legal formation, or you could trade one of your dead MFs (Earendil or Glaurung) for a DF and have a legal formation.

So just work with the roster you have and you should be able to change it just fine with your two allotted trades.

I am just curious, why are 3-5-2 and 3-4-3 illegal formations?
