I'm probably gonna change my mind on a midfield slot and a defender or two, but, then again, I might not.

Well, this was definitely better than first round, but still nothing so great. But I am being conservative. Let's see about these.

--DF Radagast
--MF Saruman
--FW Khamul

++DF Balrog#5
++MF Glorfindel
++FW Glaurung

So, we have:

Salt and More Smoke

GK Tar-Atanamir (Armenelos)

DF Uinen (The Sea)
DF GaladriWight (TIG)
DF Balrog#5 (Hithlum)
DF *Varda (Imladris)

MF Tar-Míriel (Armenelos)
MF NogWight (Eriador)
MF *Glorfindel (Eriador)

FW *Glaurung (Nargothrond)
FW *Scatha (Wilderland)
FW *Arien (Valimar) C

Okay... going quite fine but Mr. Nilp & co are getting a bit too far ahead. So some drastic measures - and coming back towards my team-roots then.

I'm changing the whole "downstairs" of my team and basically going even more for my first year's "Beauties and the Beasts" -team spirits allowing only females and beasts / creatures of some sort into my team... there will be still two exceptions with that principle but I will - or then not - try to get to deal with them later...


So, the changes:

-- GK *Shastawolf (T-I-G)
++ GK Amroth (Anduin)


-- DF Thorondor (FC Valinor)
-- DF Amras (Tirion)
-- DF Alatar (Barad-Dûr)
-- DF *Tilion (Real Valinor)
++ DF Rochallor (AC Beleriand)
++ DF BoroWolf (T-I-G)
++ DF *Ulmo (The Sea)
++ DF *Morgoth (Angband)


-- MF NerWight (T-I-G)
++ MF NogWight (Eriador)


-- FW Thranduil (Wilderland)
++ *Arien (Valimar)


Which results in the following team for round three.


Noggportunistics


GK - Amroth (Anduin)

DF - Rochallor (AC Beleriand)
DF - BoroWolf (T-I-G)
DF - *Ulmo (The Sea)
DF - *Morgoth (Angband)

MF - NogWight (Eriador)
MF - Hador (Hithlum)
MF - *Yavanna (FC Valinor)

FW - Aredhel (Tirion)
FW - *Arien ( Valimar) C
FW - *Miriel (Real Valinor)



EDIT: A change: I'll put all on Arien this round... thence the captaincy (she made me the champion last season - now it's time to see if she can deliver this time as well) moves from Miriel to her.

Well the overhaul definitely worked, but I'm still dreading how long I can hold off taking Curufin until the rest get too far ahead.

MF Cirdan (Havens)

Not as drastic as a shake up but I've always wondered how this ever-revolving door of "what no-star FWs could have a great game?" guesses will pan out.

Games will likely start going up the 3rd or the 4th, so get your trades done, or at least let us know you intend to do trades so we know to hold off for you.

Per her PM instructions this is Galadriel's team (unless of course she gets back in time and chooses to adjust it).

GK *Elrond (Eriador)
DF Celeborn (Anduin)
