The Tumunzahar board tries to keep up a sporting spirit and will decline any temptation to sign in Dwalin, Miller, Mormegil, Thuringwethel and others... It's hard but hopefully it pays back with at least the moral victory...
But as there is some insecurity about the deadlines of the trade-offs
Nogg's Ball will do the following changes immediately.
Traded off:
DEF. Manwë (Valinor)
MF. Beleg (Doriath)
Signed in:
DEF. Firefoot (Barrow Downs)
MF. Húrin (Gondolin)
The current line-up will then be:
GK
Smaug (Erebor)
DEFENCE
Nogrod (Barrow-Downs)
Maeglin (Gondolin)
Ancalagon the Black (Angband)
Firefoot (Barrow-Downs) - traded for Manwë
MIDDLEFIELD
Feanor of the Peredhil (Barrow-Downs)
Húrin (Gondolin) - traded for Beleg
Maedhros (Tuna)
FORWARDS
Finwë (Tuna) - traded for Tulkas
Gothmog (Angband)
Witch-King (Mordor)
The board of Tumunzahar still wishes for Smaug to show his qualities and keeps on trusting the value of Ancalagon, Nogrod, Maedhros, Gothmog and the Witch-King... other players are under a constant surveillance on the coming rounds.
Total changes with Nogg's Ball this far = 3
The changed team will be copied in the post #12 where the original line up is.
