The Rules!!
Welcome to the Phantasy Team Competition!
 If you have any questions regarding any of these rules, just ask. I promise you it's not as complicated as it may look at first glance- just ask the players from last year. You will select your team members from the rosters available in my next post, and will be awarded points according to how your players fare in their tournament games. Please put a bolded -> C after one of your players. That means that player is your team captain, and will gain (or lose) double point value. You must have one GK (goal keeper) and then you can use one of the following formations found below. (Formations listed as DF-MF-FW)
In other words, if you choose 4-4-2, then you want to place 4 defenders, 4 midfielders, and 2 fowards on your team along with the goalie of your choice. In addition, you may not choose more than 3 players from one single team. Rules for gaining points are as follows.
And just like last time you can gain extra points for pretourney and playoff predictions! Once again we're going to have a star system for drafting your team. Players with a star are considered by Arda Kicker Magazine to be solid players with a higher liklihood of scoring than other players at that position. Players with 2 stars are the cream of the crop, and are the most likely to gain points at the position. The team an individual plays on and his/her name recognition can contribute slightly to star status. And of course, there is no guarantee that star players will score more. It's just more likely. The team that you select may not exceed FOUR total stars at this time. (This number will increase as the rounds go by.) Note on the rosters- If MFs or DFs are listed lower down the roster (towards the FWs), then they are more likely to find themselves involved in the offense than those MFs or DFs listed higher up towards the GK. Of course, there is no guarantee MFs listed closer to FWs will score more, but their chances are generally better. Note on trades- After the first two rounds of group play, you can draft a completely new team. Unlimited trades. After the third and final round of group play, you are allowed seven trades. After the first playoff round, you are allowed only three trades. After the quarterfinals and semifinals you are allowed only two trades. Do not under any circumstances edit your old teams once play has started. If you want to trade someone, make a new post stating the trade and list your new team. All right- here are the predictions that can gain you bonus points at the end of the tournament. They can make a huge difference in your point total if you happen to hit them! 10 POINT QUESTIONS Who will score the most goals in the tournament? Who will have the most assists in the tournament? Which team will win the tournament? 5 POINT QUESTIONS Which goalkeeper will score the most total phantasy points in the tournament? Which defender will score the most total phantasy points in the tournament? Which midfielder will score the most total phantasy points in the tournament? Which forward will score the most total phantasy points in the tournament? GROUP PREDICTIONS Predict the winner and runner up from each of the eight groups. Predicting the winner is worth 3 points. The runner up is worth 1. If you select the correct two teams but have their positions reversed, you will be awarded 2 points. So that's a possible thirty-two points right there. Don't skip this! PLAYOFF POINTS During the playoffs you will be able to gain points for correct predictions, but obviously you can't do anything with that until much later. I'll remind everyone when it is time.

extra help...
If you're having trouble coming up with your team or making predictions, this may help you.
If you have trouble understanding it, I'd be happy to give a more detailed explanation (unless someone else beats me to it).

I have always had a principle to choose my team with (like beauties and the beasts) but this time I thought I could try a different approach. Well a little different one eg. trying to be flexible in the first rounds but then going more or less solidly towards the principles later on the game.
So here's for it the newly named team of mine for the first round of matches (some might see some patterns there from the earlier years: no Fëanor but Miriel and Nerdanel in - hopefully I have reasons to put Aredhel in later as well, and Tar Telperien, and Huan... - they have been the backbone of my teams everytime). Team Noggportunistics GK – Nienna of Aman D – Tar Meneldur of Numenor D – Asfaloth of Gondolin D – Galdor of Eithel Sirion D – * Turgon of Aman MF – Hyermendacil of Gondor MF – Gwindor of Eithel Sirion MF – * Nerdanel of Tirion FW – * Miriel of Tirion (C) FW – * Scatha of Thangorodrim FW – Tar Minastir of Havens The other pre-tournament predictions: 10 point questions. Most goals: Scatha of Thangorodrim Most assists: Eöl of Gondolin Team to win the tournament: Tirion 5 point questions. Keeper with most phantasy points: Huan of Mithrim Defender with most phantasy points: Tar Telperion of Numenor Midfielder with most phantasy points: Durin’s Bane of Thangorodrim Forward with most phantasy points: Nerdanel of Tirion And the group predictions: A. 1. Aman 2. Vinyamar B. 1. Barrow-Downs 2. Barad Dûr C. 1. Mithrim 2. Norbury D. 1. Eithel Sirion 2. Rohan E. 1. Utumno 2. Numenor F. 1. Thangorodrim 2. Valimar G. 1. Gondolin 2. Gondor H. 1. Tirion 2. Havens

the time approaches...
Sally, Hakon, Eonwe, McCaber, Glirdan, and Mira- we still need your entries. If anyone knows these folks, tell them to get a move on. If they're running short on time now but still wish to compete, offer them some help getting started. The most important thing to hand in now is predictions (most goals, group winners, so on), as those cannot be done once the tournament begins. The team, on the other hand- you can redraft your entire team after the first round of group play, so just toss some players, any players, onto your roster for now if that's all you have time for.
