Well, my advice is as I'm giving myself: go for the unexpected. Otherwise there is no chance to gain on the leaders...

Meh. That could have been worse. And I'm surrounded by such handsome lads in the rankings. I think I'm comfortable.

Cupkicks, Round Quarterfinals: Fight!
GK Carcharoth (Angband)
DF Radagast (Rohan)
DF *Morgoth (Angband)
DF Malbeth (Eriador)
DF Shadowfax (Rohan)
MF *Gandalf (Rohan)
MF *Beleg (Doriath)

FW *Smaug (Erebor)
FW *Curufin (FC Valinor)
FW *Ancalagon (Angband)


--Carcharoth
--*Morgoth
--*Beleg
--*Ancalagon

++*Elrond
++Ecthelion
++*Beren
++**Feanor


And as this is the last round I think Smaug will be around (maybe), I will make him my captain.

GK *Elrond (Eriador)
DF Radagast (Rohan)
DF Ecthelion (AC Beleriand)
DF Malbeth (Eriador)
DF Shadowfax (Rohan)
MF *Gandalf (Rohan)
MF *Beren (AC Beleriand)
MF Yavanna (FC Valinor)
FW *Smaug (Erebor) (C)
FW *Curufin (FC Valinor)
FW **Feanor (AC Beleriand)


For what it's worth, I really think the game between Erebor and FC Val will come down to penalty kicks.



EDIT: Fixed my double Malbeth problem

Still three.

It will go to four once we're down to only four squads remaining.

Ok, now one half my team scores against the other half, but I can't do the mental limbo anymore of putting players from opposing teams on opposite ends of the field...
