[the phantom]

Just like last year, you can gain bonus points for accurate predictions. Along with submitting your team, please predict-

Who will score the most goals in the tournament?

Who will have the most assists in the tournament?

Who will score the most total points in the tournament?

Which team will win the tournament?

Each of those will be worth TEN bonus points.

And then, predict the winner and runner up from each of the eight groups. Predicting the winner is worth 3 points. The runner up is worth 1. If you select the correct two teams but have their positions reversed, you will be awarded 2 points. So that's a possible THIRTY-TWO points right there!

[mormegil]

So if I understand correctly I can pick a Players? If so I would like Turin first please. How does this draft work?

[the phantom]

No draft, sir. Any player may be owned by anyone. Everyone can have Turin on their team. You have complete freedom of selection (except for you must have a valid formation and not exceed the star cap).

[Gwathagor]

Ok, here's my squad:


GK – Orodreth (Nargothrond)

DF – Elenwe (Gondolin)
DF – Ulfast (Angband)
DF – Eldarion (Lothlorien)

MF – Haleth* (Brethil)
MF – Arahael* (Amon Sul)
MF – Anarion* (Osgiliath)
MF – Gil Galad* (Eregion)
MF – Thorondor* (Taniquetil)
MF – Eol* (Doriath)

FW – Araphor (Arnor)

Predictions will be upcoming.

[Eomer of the Rohirrim]

Are you allowed more than one player from the same team? (i.e. Sam and Farmer Maggot)
