McCaber- you seem to have switched to an illegal 3-4-3 formation at some point and I didn't catch it. So please switch to one of the approved formations given in the first post. Thanks.

And remember from the first post-
So three trades only, every one. And still no more than four players from one single team.

Updated standings-
Gwath- 191
McCaber- 174
Nogrod- 160
Eomer- 159
Skip- 153
Nilp- 142
Anguirel- 141
Lhuna- 135
Cailin- 128
Form- 126
Elmo- 102

Sorry, I didn't even catch that. It will be amended.

--Melian (Doriath)
++Elrond (Rivendell)

--the phantom (TIG)
++ Balrog #2 (Angband)

G- Elrond (Rivendell)
DF- Tar Atanamir (Armenelos)
DF- Gandalf (Rivendell)
DF- Celebrimbor (Formenos)
DF- Balrog #2 (Angband)
MF- Eol (Gondolin)
MF- Melkor (Angband)
MF- Hurin (Hithlum)
FW- Gothmog (Angband)
FW- Ecthelion (Gondolin)
FW- Maedhros (Formenos)

Picks:
Rivendell over TIG
Formenos over Tuna
Gondolin over Armenelos
Angband over Hithlum

So THAT'S how he's been closing in on me!



Drat.

So, with the regulation three trades, this is what my team ought to look like. Sorry about that, tp.

--the phantom
++Balrog #2 (Angband)

--Nerdanel
++Ancalagon (Angband)

--Hurin
++Feanor (Formenos)

G- Elrond (Rivendell)
DF- Celebrimbor (Formenos)

MF- Aredhel (Formenos)
MF- Eol (Gondolin)
FW- Ancalagon (Angband)
FW- Feanor (Formenos)
FW- Maeglin (Gondolin)

And remember everyone, you're not out of it!

Your four pre-tournament predictions are worth 10 points each, so there are still 40 points to be gained from that. I'm looking at my list here and several of you look likely to pick up 10 extra points anyway, and a couple of you stand a very real chance of gaining 20 or 30 extra points!

You can also make up ground on the leaders via your picks (there are still seven games left to pick) and also by hitting slightly better with your fantasy team. You never know when you might just have the perfect team during a given round.

The fantasy-point leaders after the first play-off round:
 

Miriel (Túna) 30

Hurin (Hithlum) 27

Maeglin (Gondolin) 25

Aredhel (Formenos) 24

Ar Pharazon (Armenelos) 23
Eöl (Gondolin) 23
Finrod (Nargothrond) 23

Maedhros (Formenos) 22
The Mouth (Mordor) 22
The Witch King (Mordor) 22
Turin (Hithlum) 22

Eärendil (Valimar) 20
Fëanor (Formenos) 20
Nerdanel (Túna) 20
Scatha (Mirkwood) 20


PS. If I have time today I will send you the fantasy-points of all the teams left just for curiosity's sake...

Rivendell over TIG
Formenos over Tuna
Armenelos over Gondolin
Angband over Hithlum

Lose Bregor and Idril, Gain Tar-Atanamir and Maglor

G - Elrond (Rivendell)

DF - Tar-Atanamir (Armenelos)
DF - Turgon (Gondolin)
DF - Cailin (T-I-G)

MF - Maglor (Formenos)

Replacing Nargothrond players. ( :( )

--Finrod

--Beren
++Eöl

--Glaurung
++Húrin

Updated:

Silmarillion Squad (Nilp)
GK - Elrond (Rivendell)
DF - Celeborn (Rivendell)
DF - Tar-Telperiën (Armenelos)
DF - Tar-Atanamir (Armenelos)
MF - Eöl (Gondolin)

MF - Eomer (Tol-in-Gaurhoth)
MF - the phantom (Tol-in-Gaurhoth)
MF - Ar-Adûnakhôr (Armenelos)
FW - Túrin (Hithlum)

Prediction:
 

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...uarter-pre.png
Hithlum I believe!

TIG over Rivendell
Formenos over Tuna
Gondolin over Armenelos
Angband over Hithlum

Lose Luthien and Grimbeorn, Gain Turgon and Melkor

G - Tuor (Gondolin)
DF - Elenwe (Tuna)
DF - Turgon (Gondolin)
DF - Balrog 4 (Angband)
MF - Eomer of the Rohirrim (T-i-G)
MF - Lhuna (T-i-G)
MF - Aredhel (Formenos)
MF - Aragorn (Rivendell)
MF - Boromir II (Rivendell)
MF - Melkor (Angband)
FW - Maedhros (Formenos)

If I'm allowed to make a few late transfers I will do the following changes to my team (obviously I've not traded with any players from Tuna or Formenos):

Out:
Eärendil, Witch King, Ulmo

In:
Gothmog (Angband), Turgon (Gondolin), Eöl (Gondolin)

Predictions:
TIG to beat Rivendell
Gondolin to beat Armenelos
Angband to beat Hithlum

If you won't allow these changes tp, I'm cool with that. :)

Since those results aren't up yet the transfers and predictions will be allowed, Skip.

You lack one prediction my friend... Formenos - Túna?

Okay, then... the following are out:

--Gwindor, --Lúthien

And also --Aragorn II, Gandalf, Glorfindel, since I am predicting a Rivendell loss to TiG.

That means we'll be adding:

++ Sauron, ++Tar Atanamir, ++Fëanor, ++Aredhel, ++Cailin

Making my team as follows:

G- Elros (Armenelos)
DF- Tar-Atanamir (Armenelos)
DF- Cailin (TiG)
DF- Hookbill the Goomba (TIG)
DF- Balrog #2 (Angband)
MF- Amrod (Formenos)
MF- Ar Adunakhor (Armenelos)
MF- Aredhel (Formenos)
FW- Formendacil (TIG)
FW- Fëanor (Formenos)
FW- Sauron (TIG)

If, as usual, I've done something illegal... I'm sure you'll inform me.

Predictions:

Tol-in-Gaurhoth will beat Rivendell.

Formenos will beat Túna.

Armenelos will beat Gondolin.

Angband will beat Hithlum.

You may discount the previous post...

I replied here before checking the other thread.

Because I am gracious and merciful I will take your word that you did not know the results when you made that previous post.

But you are only allowed to make three trades, so you can't do all of that anyway.

In addition you were late, and must not escape completely unscathed.

So I have come to this decision, Formendacil... Because I am quite certain that your TIG over Rivendell pick was a completely honest one, I will allow you to make your exchanges between those two teams (Sauron for Glorfindel, Cailin for Gandalf), as well as give you your two prediction points for getting that match correct.

I hope this is an acceptable compromise.

Semifinals...
 

FORMENOS vs TOL-IN-GAURHOTH

ARMENELOS vs HITHLUM

The semifinals will begin 48 hours from now. You have till then to make your THREE TRADES and predictions.

--Elrond
++Elros

--Celeborn
++Hador

--Eöl
++Lhunardawen

(I believe that my sister will do something in this tournament other than collect yellow cards. :D )

Oh, absolutely. She'll do much more than collect yellow cards. I believe in the next match she somehow manages to pick up three red cards. :D

Speaking of my sister . . .
 

Lies.

Those weren't cards, those were merely flattened roses (from Aragorn II, Boromir II, and Glorfindel II). :p

Vzv, she authorised me to make the following changes:

There are still points to be gained in the semis and finals from players and predictions. And some of you are still eligible to receive pre-tournament prediction bonuses.

Uh oh. Someone (:rolleyes:) had a bad round.

I think we all need to change at least half of our squads... I have six to change... :rolleyes:

I'll leave my defences and lower-midfield as they are and concentrate on the attacking players now. So Balrog #4 of Angband, Elenwë of Tuna and Idril of Gondolin will stay.

My changes will then be:

-- Melkor (Angband)
++ the phantom (T-I-G)

tp is a beast as you all know - and fair enough to be called a beauty as well. Gah, I just don't seem to have too many chances anymore... so I need to explain more... Yeah, I had a chance to pick Lhuna for his place and stick for a real beauty but somehow I do not share Nilp's optimism of her getting other things done in the field but taking cards... :)

-- Ancalagon (Angband)
++ Nogrod (T-I-G)

I'm bringing myself back to the team. As a beast to be sure. Giving myself a second chance then...

-- Miriel (Tuna)
++ Ar Pharazon (Armenelos)

Just look at the guy... pure beast in man's clothing, the attacker on the blessed realm, forging a marriage against the will of the wife, the greed, the lust, the pride... That's just for my team now that the real beasts are out...


Beasts and Beauties (Nog)

G- Huan (Formenos)

DF- Tar Telperien (Armenelos)
DF- Cailín (Tol-In-Gaurhoth)
DF- Elenwë (Túna)
DF- Balrog #4 (Angband)

MF- Idril (Gondolin)
MF- Aredhel (Formenos)
MF- the phantom (Tol-In-Gaurhoth)

FW- Nogrod (Tol-In-Gaurhoth)
FW- Ar Pharazon (Armenelos)
FW- Sauron (Tol-In-Gaurhoth)



And predictions then...

Tol-In-Gaurhoth beats Formenos

Even if the Formenos forwards and Aredhel will make it a tough day for T-I-G defences the phantom and Nogrod will score two goals each and sink the hopes of the elven lords foor good.

Armenelos gets beaten by Hithlum

Now this is the tricky prediction... I have no chances to use Hithlum players as they are a bunch of straight males but I might try to profit from their prowess this way... Gondolin already showed that the great Armenelos defence can be broken and my God how Hurin and Turin will execute that!

I'm in quite a bit of trouble here. I was banking on the exact opposite scenario than what happened.

--Elrond (Rivendell)
++Elros (Armenelos)

--Ecthelion (Gondolin)
++Sauron (TIG)

--Gothmog (Angband)
++ Feanor (Formenos)

Let's hope that's enough to pull through.

G- Elrios (Armenelos)
DF- Tar Atanamir (Armenelos)
DF- Gandalf (Rivendell)
DF- Celebrimbor (Formenos)
DF- Balrog #2 (Angband)
MF- Eol (Gondolin)
MF- Melkor (Angband)
MF- Hurin (Hithlum)
FW- Sauron (TIG)
FW- Feanor (Formenos)
FW- Maedhros (Formenos)

Picks:
Formenos over TIG
Hithlum over Armenelos

Why, surely Turin's a beauty at least. He had the prettiest face of all the mortal men in all the ages of the world, as far as I remember (which isn't saying much though I'm afraid). Or does a man have to be gay (no, not the happy-gay) to be a potential beauty?

Oh no... I was indeed thinking about assigning Fëanor to my team but just realised that he was in the wrong team from my angle... He's probably the least gay-one there is, but still fair. :D

But the Hithlum players are just those "right-minded and stout male-heroes" I feel it hard to assign under my team of females and beasts...

You are vastly too generous, Lord the Phantom, as I would have been willing to surrender all.

I shall now go read what has happened on the other thread before adding predictions here...:p

Well, limited to three trades, I'm clearly going to have to think things through here...

--Gwindor, --Aragorn II, --Balrog #2

leaving Lúthien as my token deadweight, I guess, and adding

++Fëanor, ++Aredhel, ++Tar-Atanamir


G- Elros (Armenelos)
DF- Lúthien (Doriath)
DF- Cailin (TIG)
DF- Hookbill the Goomba (TIG)
DF- Tar-Atanamir (Armenelos)
MF- Amrod (Formenos)
MF- Ar Adunakhor (Armenelos)
MF- Aredhel (Formenos)
FW- Formendacil (TIG)
FW- Fëanor (Formenos)
FW- Sauron (TIG)

And, for my predictions:

Tol-in-Gaurhoth defeats Formenos.

Armenelos defeats Hithlum.
