Phantasy Football: Arda Cup 2010

[Nogrod]

I have always had a principle to choose my team with (like beauties and the beasts) but this time I thought I could try a different approach. Well a little different one eg. trying to be flexible in the first rounds but then going more or less solidly towards the principles later on the game.

So here's for it the newly named team of mine for the first round of matches (some might see some patterns there from the earlier years: no Fëanor but Miriel and Nerdanel in - hopefully I have reasons to put Aredhel in later as well, and Tar Telperien, and Huan... - they have been the backbone of my teams everytime).

Yay there's a Lari! And she's got a very family oriented team.

I didn't realize it was April 1st at all yesterday, but my thought was...Really? He's Rick roll'd the thread?

Sally, Hakon, Eonwe, McCaber, Glirdan, and Mira- we still need your entries. If anyone knows these folks, tell them to get a move on. If they're running short on time now but still wish to compete, offer them some help getting started. The most important thing to hand in now is predictions (most goals, group winners, so on), as those cannot be done once the tournament begins. The team, on the other hand- you can redraft your entire team after the first round of group play, so just toss some players, any players, onto your roster for now if that's all you have time for.
