Don't listen to them, my sun and stars. A NerWight assist into a ShastaWolf goal ends the game with a T-I-G win. :D

Thanks, Gwath. I've been waiting ages for you to post your squad. :Merisu:

I've been super swamped at work lately, and brain dead as a result, sorry. I'll try to get to this sometime this week. (Phantom, I give you full permission to call and harass me.)

Same here. I'll try to get mine up within the next couple of days.

In addition to suddenly being more busy at work than I anticipated, I've had an onset of jury duty and computer problems at home.

I will aim for the weekend.

*checks watch*

Well, that didn't work. My excuse is that I suffered a major plumbing disaster at my house over the weekend and spent most of my time trying to fix that.

I will try to get it sometime this week.

After reading team lists and reports on last year and looking at the analysis, I have decided to ignore it all (well most of it) and create:

Welcome to a product of phantom's imagination, KarlPeredhel. :)

Argh
 

This week is already spiraling out of control on me.

I might be able to get it up on Friday if my Friday commitment goes away (which I kind of expect that it will) but I won't be able to get to it before then.

And I've run out of time to do a Round 1 team, I will try to get it posted tomorrow.

I've been out of commission this past week with a potentially dangerous eye problem that may require surgery (silver lining is if I need it, it will be end of October so perfect for going as a pirate if necessary for Halloween). I'll find out after Oct. 9 if the eye-drops aren't working and if surgery will be required. Anyway, I'll get my group predictions, round 1 team, and final pre-tournament TTN predictions up within the week (hopefully)

I really should stop thinking I'm going to be able to do things on weekends.

Oh dear! I hope everything goes well.

Week 1 Team

GK - *Ungoliant (ANG)
DF - Salmar (TS)
DF - Maglor (FCV)
DF - Irmo (RV)
DF - KuruWight (TIG) (I have confidence in me!)
MF - Durin (DU)
MF - Tuor (ACB)
MF - *PhantomWolf C (TIG)
FW - Nerdanel (RV)
FW - *Maedhros (IB)
FW - *Earendil (TS)

Also I noticed an error in my $100M team because for some reason in my sadly disordered brain PhantomWolf was a forward, so this is the corrected one...

Kuru's Klub

GK - *Ungoliant (ANG) 16
DF - Findis (FCV) 3
DF - Imlach (IB) 4
DF - KuruWight (TIG) 3
DF - Carcharoth (DOR) 10

MF - *PhantomWolf (TIG) 12
FW - Araphor (Arnor) 7
FW - *Maedhros (IB) 14
FW - *Earendil (TS) 15

Do I think Araphor is any good? No. I just had 7 Mill to spare and that was the only forward for 7 Million.

Also, change to my forward and midfielder predictions...

Forward?
Earendil

Midfielder?
PhantomWolf

UGH! Sorry about taking so long! No internet last week, no time this week. I'll try for tomorrow.
