Making predictions isn't quite my things... I'd rather sit around and snipe at other people's, but the phantom's PM has sat in my PM box for the last couple weeks or so while I've been gallivanting around the continent, and I feel guilty...

With no more ado, then...

I'm not seeing this in the rules anywhere, but I'm unclear: is my fantasy roster supposed to be composed entirely of players that no one else owns? That seems to be the idea, but I'm rather too lazy to cross-check every player everyone's picked.

No you can pick players others have picked. I couldn't be bothered with it if you couldn't.

All right, the following have entered in the Fantasy Challenge-

Eomer
Cailin
Gwathagor
Elmo
Skip
Anguirel
Lhuna
Nilp

And Form- you can pick any players you want. It doesn't matter if they've been picked already.

As soon as I have predictions from both Form and Nogrod I shall begin the first round, so if you know anyone who wants to participate please tell them to get a move on.

It's cheating to have 12 players, Form.

You are indeed. But I'll have my squad ready tomorrow and it will hopefully beat yours in the game...

Okay, let's do some remixing on this team of mine...
Both Elrond and Elros have been astounding in goal, whereas great-great-grandmother Melian has been only passable. Armenelos ahs the more impressive-looking record thus far (taking down Tanquetil of all teams), so:

--Melian, ++Elro

Thus far, Alqualondë has not been a particularly impressive team, and I don't give them good enough odds to survive the next match, so:

--Frodo, ++Balrog #2: even if Angband isn't first seed for its group, they're still contending.

We'll kick one of the Fëanorian twins off midfield and replace him with Ar-Adunakhor.

Isildur is out also, and we'll go with a forward off of Nargothrond:

--Isildur, ++Gwindor

Finally, given how well I seem to be doing, we'll switch up TiG forwards:

--Sauron, ++Formendacil

--Amras, ++Ar-Adunakhor

G- Elros
DF- Lúthien
DF- Gandalf
DF- Hookbill the Goomba
DF- Balrog #2
MF- Amrod
MF- Ar-Adunakhor
MF- Aragorn II
FW- Formendacil
FW- Gwindor
FW- Glorfindel
