Phantasy Thread: Arda Cup Football 2009 - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

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
