Do you use the fantasy soccer like program on espn.com? I am now wondering because you have a link to espn.com in your profile and you mentioned something about paying $29.95 a month for something.

I got lucky by having Curufin on my team. Now I am almost regretting making trades cause that team got me 50 points.

Why do you have so much faith in Feanor? He only did great in one round. Boro you really should add Miriel to your team. If you added her I bet you could win.

Fëanor is the greatest striker to grace the game. That's canon. Besides, if you're behind, and put Miriel as captain, you're not going to gain anything on the leaders if they too have done the same thing, no matter how many goals she scores. Also, Miriel is a quitter. She's got excellent skills, sure, but as soon as the going gets tough, she just gives up, lies down and dies.

Angband vs Romenna: Angband wins.

Nargothrond versus Tol-in-Gaurhoth: T-i-G wins.

I second Skip...fight the power!

Hakon, well Miriel was actually a bit of surprise last year, Tuna didn't even make the finals (I think they made it to the Final 8) and Miriel was only 1 goal short (maybe 2) of being tied for most goals. And it seems like she's continuing that this year! But, I have questions how far Tuna can go, as their defense is what let them down last year, and one bad game from Miriel is all it takes.

If Tuna gets out any time soon it will be when they most likely go up against Valimar. Tuna will beat Mirkwood and Valimar will beat Minas Tirith. If I am right about the way the pairings for the next round will go then Valimar faces off with Tuna. I am thinking that this year it will come down to Valimar and Hithlum.

McCaber has been trapped in the Barrow!
Gwath narrowly beat me out for the win last round. I'm not doing so hot this time, though.

Alright, let's try and do better. Gondolin was the heartbreaker for me. I was really betting on them advancing, possibly even getting to the semifinals. Ah well.

-- Turgon (Gondolin)
-- Tuor (Dor-Lomin)
-- Brand (Erebor)
-- Elros (Romenna)

++ Tar Atanamir (Armenelos)
++ Fingon (Hithlum)
++ Balrog #3 (Tuna)
++ Balrog #5 (Angband)

The Next-to-Last Alliance
*GK- Tar Atanamir (Armenelos)
*DF- Celebrimbor (Eregion)
*DF- Balrog #3 (Tuna)
-DF- Elfwine (Edoras)
-DF- Balrog #5 (Angband)
*MF- Phantomwolf (TIG)
-MF- Earendil (Eregion)
-MF- Fingon (Hithlum)
*FW- Maedhros (Hithlum) (C)
*FW- Sauron (Armenelos)
*FW- Maeglin (Angband)

And my picks:

Angband vs. Romenna - Angband
Nargothrond vs.Tol-in-Gaurhoth - T-i-G
Hithlum vs. Taniquetil - Hithlum
Eregion vs. Dor-Lomin - Eregion
Armenelos vs. Erebor - Armenelos
Edoras vs. Minas Morgul - Edoras
Tuna vs. Mirkwood - Mirkwood
Valimar vs. Minas Tirith - Valimar

Sorry, but it's been a very busy time for me and Nog is away as well, but things will start rolling again soon enough. I scanned the thread briefly to see who had done trades and predictions, so anyone who hasn't done one of those things will be getting a reminder PM from me.

Gwath- you'll have to change that 3-5-2.

Boro- I love that you're writing out all those predictions on the thread and keeping track of your record. Reminds me so much of some of those bloggers during NFL season.

Haha, thanks...I wanted to do some sort of writing/reaction for the games, and thought about bringing back the "BCS"...erm soccer...power rankings like from the 1st year. But decided to go more with the blogger feel (although I call it more "a lazy analyst who sits at his computer, listening to Phil Collins, and somehow thinks because he can read stats he knows something about sports" ) in predictions and comments. But a blogger is a much better descriptor

I was in last year as well... I had my team built up with only females and dragons... (as long as it was possible )

I agree with Skip, there's no sense in everyone picking up the same players. Especially those behind need to pick players others don't have to gain points in comparison to others.

Heh, now as everyone is dumping Fëanor from their teams I might consider picking him up. And blah, my initial idea was to go back to my dynamic duo from last year, namely Miriel - Nerdanel by adding Nerdanel at this point but now as everyone is having her recruited I think I need to give up the idea even if would have loved to do it.

Needs to consider...

Oops! I sacked myself from captain's position and forgot to assign a new one...

Okay, I protested already before the games began that Shasta took my captain (Miriel) and decided to take someone else. Now I need to eat my words...

We're already writing the first round playoff matches, but we're waiting to post them in hopes that people will get their trades, predictions, or formation changes done. If anyone is in contact with Eonwe, TGEW, or Gwath, please tell them to check their PMs.

Can we add an extra star? No matter: I have complete faith in my players.

Ancalagon the Black is still my captain. There's still time to turn this around!
