PHANTASY FOOTBALL: Arda Cup 2012

[Galadriel55]

Eomer, is there no way you can make a detour to Toronto?

Well, guess not, if you can't make Boston. But next time! You need to raise warg awareness this side of the Great Lakes as well!

The only limitation in the rules is the cost... I didn't pay attention to start in my team.

Right, Gal- the limit on the 100 team is the overall price and 2 players per team.

Kuru, just to make certain you knew- you can have 3 players per team on your regular Phantasy squad. Only the permanent 100 squad has the 2 player limit.

Morm- due to the header on your predictions post, "Round 1 Predictions", I just wanted to be sure you weren't predicting the winners of the first round of games, but predicting the winner and runner-up of the overall group after all three rounds.

McCaber- be sure and pick a defender in the most-phantasy-points prediction area.

I forgot that?

Best defender: Felarof (Rohan).

Correct, sorry for the misnomer.

I did miss that.

Alas, the rule doesn't help the quest for an all dwarf squad much...and doesn't have much bearing on my current offensive obsession either.

Now to be about the business of putting all my eggs in one basket...

Who will score the most goals in the tournament?

Turin

Who will have the most assists in the tournament?

Luthien

Which team will win the tournament?

Hithlum

Which goalkeeper will score the most total phantasy points in the tournament?

To be intellectually honest I should refuse to post a choice...but I have no problem being a hypocrite...

Manwe

Which defender will score the most total phantasy points in the tournament?

See above...

NilpWolf

Which midfielder will score the most total phantasy points in the tournament?

Luthien

Which forward will score the most total phantasy points in the tournament?

Turin

Group Predictions: First Listed = First

Group A
Tol-In-Gaurhoth
Angband

Group B
Eriador
Gondolin

Group C - (must I pick winners here? this is some truly uninspiring rabble...I guess I'll go with dwarven loyalty)
Dwarves United
Erebor

Group D
FC Valinor
Real Valinor

Group E
Hithlum
Valimar (although I do like The Sea...I mean, how awesome a name is that?)

Group F
Rohan
Imladris

Group G
AC Beleriand
Nargothrond

Group H
Barad-dur
(gosh, the rest of this group looks weak to me)
Minas Tirith

There, I think I have guaranteed that I'm either going to have a spectacular victory or I'm going to come in dead last by a long, long way.

Losing is definitely more likely by far...

But...THAT is why they play the game!

This is true! The world is a big place, after all, though Nilp has got the East covered.

This is true, although hope abounds that I shall cover more than just the East. Ah, well, this is partly what I'm suffering employment for.

To avoid the wrath of the chat skwerlz, I'll announce my ninja-changing of my squad's captain to the handsome and dashing PhantomWolf, because Angband's scoring somewhat worries me.
