Swap Eonwe for Sauron

TOTAL POINTS- 20

Hakon · 07-06-2009, 04:45 PM

Swap Curufin for Tar Telperien.
Swap Tilion for Aredhel. I am changing my formation.

-GK- Theoden (Edoras)
*DF- Felarof (Edoras)
*DF Tar Telperien (Armenelos)
-DF- Ar Zimrathan (Armenelos)
-DF- Frealaf (Edoras)
-MF- Earendil (Eregion)
**MF- Melkor (Valimar)
*MF- Hurin (Angband)
**FW- Feanor (Hithlum) (C)
*FW- Sauron (Armenelos)
FW-Aredhel(Hithlum)

Hithlum beats Aremenelos
Mirkwood beats Angband

I just realized Skip Spence and Boro have full teams. Lucky.

Nogrod · 07-06-2009, 05:42 PM

Bah. How does one prevent those guys in the lead (or getting there with speed) to run away with these players and only two changes?

Hah. My own fault. I trusted Tal Telperien last year to the end and now I'm getting a real beating because I didn't this time... that Queen is just incredible! Just like I hoped she had been last year (well she was not bad then either)... But let's be realistic, she won't score twice in a row.

Okay. Boro and Skip both have Fëanor as their captain so to catch their fly I need to have someone else there as my captain, and just hope Fëanor mainly takes cards in the final...

Would it be Ar Pharazôn's turn to be the hero? Or will Aredhel handle it this time? Or the bronze-match? Nazgul #6, Thranduil, Scatha, Ancalagon, Thuringwethil rising on the occasion?

Or Tar-Atanamir making a shut-out once again? Or Huan finally making it in the tight spot? And Carcaroth has been just super the last rounds...

Needs to think it a bit.

Nogrod · 07-07-2009, 07:51 AM

I will not change any player who is actually in the field in the finals. With only six possible point-scorers in my team that's pretty clear. (Well I could change Balrog#5 who has lately scored mainly negative points.) So my forwards are "locked".

With midfielders I could gladly go for Nazgul #6, Ar Adunakhôr or Húrin, but as Boro has them there is no point in choosing any of them. I only need to hope they are pathetic in the finals... a fool's hope.

But which of the other midfielders could rise to the occasion? Thuringwethil, Gwindor, Tar Ancalimôn, Fingon, Fingolfin, Bilbo...? Well they are all in the 10-point category (the ones Boro has are in the twenty-point category) but anyone could go for me as I have no current midfield at all.

Defenders are risky choices at this point as all the teams are good and can score so only a goal-making defender would be really worth the risk. But who would score? Tar Telperien once again? Maybe I need to go for the jackpot - a shut-out defence from Armenelos and Tar Telperien scoring... hmm... is that more likely than Gwindor making a difference (and not taking a card once more) in the bronze-match?

A shut-out goalie with six saves would be worth 8 points... But I have a playing goalie in Huan and just need to trust on him.

Okay here it goes then, some female power into my team, whatever comes:

Thuringwethil for Glaurung
Tar Telperien for Elfwine

Noggerball

*GK- Huan (Hithlum)

*DF- Luthien (Nargothrond)
-DF- Balrog #5 (Angband)
*DF- Tar Telperien (Armenelos)
-DF- Ar Zimrathan (Armenelos)

**MF- Melkor (Valimar)
-MF- Eärendil (Eregion)
-MF- Thuringwethil (Angband)

-FW- Aredhel (Hithlum) (C)
*FW- Sauron (Armenelos)
**FW- Feanor (Hithlum)

And the predictions:

Angband beats Mirkwood
Armenelos wins Hithlum

Nerwen, Wilwa, and Eomer- the results will start rolling in late today or early tomorrow. If you want to trade or predict, get a move on.

Eomer of the Rohirrim · 07-10-2009, 11:21 AM

Armenelos wins, Angband is third.

Sorry, I've been internet-less for over a week. Just a moment...

Drop Elfwine, Earendil; add Nazgul #6, Tar Telperien.

Predictions: Hithlum beats Armenelos. Angband beats Mirkwood.

Nogrod · 07-11-2009, 04:29 PM

Heh, I was right in picking up Thuringwethil thinking that she would be having a big role in the game... but really, one assist and a yellow card to take one of the three points back? Phhwt... And being the nastiest player in the field to top that!

Well, Balrog #5 brought me two points as well.

So a total of four points from the first game!

(Well the game prediction went right anyway.)

So I'm afraid my chances of claiming the pole position are gone... if there ever were any after the first trades of the play-offs.
