My team now - with obsolete players in italics...

Noggerball (quarterfinals)

*GK- Huan (Hithlum)

*DF- Luthien (Nargothrond)
-DF- Balrog #5 (Angband)
*DF- Elfwine (Edoras)
-DF- Ar Zimrathan (Armenelos)

-MF- Earendil (Eregion)
**MF- Melkor (Valimar)
*MF- Glaurung (Nargothrond)


-FW- Aredhel (Hithlum)
*FW- Eonwe (Valimar) (C)
*FW- Beleg (Dor-Lomin)


Heh. Four players "alive".

So off with Eönwë and Beleg.

In with Sauron and... yes, Fëanor.


Resulting in the new team:

Noggerball (semifinals)

*GK- Huan (Hithlum)

*DF- Luthien (Nargothrond)
-DF- Balrog #5 (Angband)
*DF- Elfwine (Edoras)
-DF- Ar Zimrathan (Armenelos)

-MF- Earendil (Eregion)
**MF- Melkor (Valimar)
*MF- Glaurung (Nargothrond)


-FW- Aredhel (Hithlum) (C)
*FW- Sauron (Armenelos)
**FW- Fëanor (Hithlum)

So should I predict the semis going for the jackpot (the way my team is constructed) or should I try to minimize the risks and predict counter to my team?

Heh, playing it safe is for the sissies...


Armenelos beats Mirkwood, Ilúvatar's blessing on team Mirkwood or not.

Angband loses to Hithlum - it's a tough match but Aredhel, Fëanor and Huan make the difference.

Wishful thinking?

PS. Haha, nine stars used!!!


EDIT: Added captaincy to Aredhel...

I'm quite disappointed that I predicted all the quarterfinals correctly and still fell in the standings.

The only reason I picked Sauron to come on my team over Aredhel was I saw that Boro did not have Aredhel on his team. I am following Boro as best I can since he has predicted almost all the scores exactly right. He is good at this.

Haha, thanks...but you should watch out because clearly I've spent the last 4-5 days thinking Melkor played for Angband...and afterall I only scored 14 pts last week...but Sauron did get a goal.

If you have the same players as Boro it means you score the same points and you'll never be able to outscore him making catching that twenty point lead impossible...

I know but I cannot have the same players as Boro. I have more dead woods than him. My point is that I want my team to be similar to his. Plus he is already in the lead, we just happen to have the exact same forwards. Although I did manage in round 3 to do great because I did not let a different team influence mine. I also thought over it real well. Hmm.

Maybe it's too late, but here are my predictions.

Armenelos beats Mirkwood.

Hithlum beats Angband.

I think a whole lot of us are relying on Hithlum to beat Angband. Most of us predicted Hithlum would win the tournament.

Phantom, you didn't get my changes... I switched out Mardil and your own self for Hurin and Thuringwethil...

The good news is there is a match for 3rd place, for the two losers, so I don't think we can lose anymore players...giving those a little behind a chance to actually get rid of some of their deadwood.

That's true. If the phantom let's us make two changes before the finals quite a many of us could easily get rid of two obsolete players and take possible point-makers in as the four teams would be the same as on this semifinal round.

First semifinal result coming in soon to your door...

I hope Aredhel does really well I am going to hate this. I mean I dumped the guy for Sauron who barely preformed. I don't think anyone had Tar Telperien. Which is good in my opinion.

I had her all through the tournament last year and I just can't bring me back into seeing why I didn't pick her this year when I had a chance (meaning early in the tournament)...!

I mean I just wailed on this already a few rounds ago, but when reduced to two changes you rarely change defenders...


btw. Aredhel is not a guy, she's a girly... the White Lady of Gondolin to be more exact...

She is like Curufin got one lucky round where she scored ten points.

I wouldn't say so. She already had 17 points before this round while the next best defender in the team had 14. So she had already passed a goal before (three points). And last year she was just phenomenal...

Your predictions count, Gwath.

Hurin was a big let down. He got me zero points. At least Feanor preformed well. I am glad I went with that investment of Sauron over Aredhel payed with one extra point.

Sauron isn't flashy like Miriel, but he consistantly gets points every game, hence why he is near the top.

Extremely busy weekend here in Phantomville, but I will get official point standings and stats and such up eventually. If I'm lucky, tomorrow afternoon. More than likely it'll be in the evening/night. Worst case scenario, the following afternoon.
