Thumbs up Rawr!
Second place again! Ah, well, at least Gwazelle ( ) isn't making the lead any bigger.

As for my 100 million team, I messed up only with FC Val for the 4th semifinalist (and probably no-one else could have seen that from the beginning), so it's looking mighty fine.

(Btw, phantom, according to my spreadsheet, Gwath has 152 pts for his 100 million team. Our tables have the same number of points for the players written down, but a different sum.)

Anyway, onto my new squad:

GK *Huan (FC Valinor)
DF Ecthelion (AC Beleriand)
DF Malbeth (Eriador)
DF Caranthir (Real Valinor)
DF *Tilion (Real Valinor)
MF Arveleg (Eriador)
MF Yavanna (FC Valinor)
MF *Beren (AC Beleriand)
FW *Glorfindel (Eriador)
FW *Curufin (FC Valinor)
FW **Feanor (AC Beleriand) (C)

--*Huan
++*Beorn (I should have trusted in the beginning, and not that doggone Carcaroth!!!)

--Yavanna
++Bard

--*Curufin
++*Smaug (C)

Atashi no Negai Movie 6 - The Return of the Oblivion Recorder: the Road to Baker Street
GK *Beorn (Erebor)
DF Ecthelion (AC Beleriand)
DF Malbeth (Eriador)
DF Caranthir (Real Valinor)
DF *Tilion (Real Valinor)
MF Arveleg (Eriador)
MF Bard (Erebor)
MF *Beren (AC Beleriand)
FW *Glorfindel (Eriador)
FW *Smaug (Erebor) (C)
FW **Feanor (AC Beleriand)

Even winning rounds seem not to be enough...

*Notes self: needs win BIG then...*

Gosh you're too good Nilp & Gwath!


And the semis look like real thrillers anyway.

Nothing is easy: that's the fun of this!

Yeah, this looks to be the make-or-break round. Everything looks up in the air, especially with the heavy favourites Barcelo--I mean, FC Valinor gone. My semifinals predictions, for instance, are more heart than head.

Noggportunistics

GK *Elrond (Eriador)

DF Shadowfax (Rohan)
DF Malbeth (Eriador)
DF *Tilion (Real Valinor)
DF *Fingolfin (AC Beleriand)

MF The Barrow-Wight (Shire-Bree Utd.)
MF Yavanna (FC Valinor)
MF * Beren (AC Beleriand)

FW *Glorfindel (Eriador)
FW *Curufin (FC Valinor) C
FW *Arien (Real Valinor)
(Redundant players bolded)

-- * Curufin
++ ** Fëanor

-- The B-W
++ Bard

-- Shadowfax
++ Landroval

I'll pick Fëanor over Smaug merely to use my stars. Bard and Landroval are coming back being already members of my team earlier.

I'm giving Arien the captaincy: not that I'm confident she will score two or a hat-trick, but more from principle. And if she performs none else gains those extra points: in this situation one needs to go for the different choices...

Why can't one have five forwards? And why do we have such lousy midfielders this year around?


Noggportunistics

GK *Elrond (Eriador)

DF Landroval (Erebor)
DF Malbeth (Eriador)
DF *Tilion (Real Valinor)
DF *Fingolfin (AC Beleriand)

MF Yavanna (FC Valinor)
MF Bard (Erebor)
MF * Beren (AC Beleriand)

FW *Glorfindel (Eriador)
FW **Fëanor (AC Beleriand)
FW *Arien (Real Valinor) C


The predictions:

Erebor is in flames after beating FC Valinor and will beat Eriador as well.

Real Valinor will take their own against AC Beleriand (it may be it goes the other way around but seeing Nilp and Gwath taking the other stance I'll risk it for 6 points difference with them and keep my thumbs up for Arien, Miriel and Tilion to just storm it!).

My squad's seventh name is very fitting, methinks, considering my precarious situation. (Also considering that the third Eva film will be released this autumn.)

Hehe, I knew you'd react.

And, in the near future, you can (not) redo.
