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

the phantom · 06-26-2009, 03:28 PM

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:

Minas Morgul with a death on the field
Valimar with Melkor whipping his chains at the opponents…

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

Hakon · 06-28-2009, 11:18 AM

Morm, Melkor is a midfielder not a forward.

Right. But then again 4-4-2 is a legal formation as well...

Laziness on my part

Gwathagor · 06-28-2009, 03:47 PM

Drop Miriel and Glaurung. Add Feanor and Eonwe.

GK – Theoden (Edoras)

DF – Felarof* (Edoras)
DF – Indis (Tuna)
DF – Ar Zimrathan (Armenelos)

MF –Tilion (Valimar)
MF – Earendil (Eregion)
MF – Phantomwolf* (TIG)
MF – Melkor** (Valimar)

FW - Feanor** (Hithlum)
FW - Nerdanel (Tuna)
FW – Eonwe* (Valimar)

Predictions:

Valimar beats Mirkwood.
Hithlum beats Dor-Lomin.
Armenelos beats Minas Morgul.
TIG beats Angband.

Gwathagor · 06-27-2009, 11:02 AM

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?

the phantom · 06-27-2009, 01:33 PM

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.

Hakon · 06-27-2009, 02:04 PM

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

the phantom · 06-27-2009, 02:32 PM

Primarily to encourage diversity. If those formations were legal I figure everyone would use them to minimize defenders and maximize potential scorers. I figure if you're going to use the minimum number of defenders you shouldn't get to pick up more than one forward. Maybe we'll change it for next time, maybe not.
