Aargh! How could I forget? Captain added to my previous post. Don't let me down, Feanor!

The Arda teams can use those formations, but for phantasy teams we have long time agreed that a minimum for 4 defenders is required.

In your stats post, you have Butterbur marked as 8 saves, somehow I've only got him saving 4 of 7.

I do enjoy having a new rival though, ""just a +3 difference between journalistic integrity and biased sportswriting" hahaha

Oh, dear. I put the wrong thing in my Power Rank spreadsheet--11 shots on target for Himring instead of the actual 7. (And 11 shots total for Tirion, instead of the actual 13. But my Standings spreadsheet had the correct numbers, though, weird.)

Duly corrected, thanks for the catch. Thank goodness I didn't do a Power Rank yet . . .

Haha, glad to be of service. I'd like to see how far my deep-seated biases--in which I have not indulged fully in-phantasy, save for the slots for Finrod and Tar-Míriel--will go with this kind of predictions. (I'd probably go into mourning should Tirion finally drop out of the tourney.)
