Uh-huh. I noticed already during the matches that it was going really bad this round for my team, but now seeing it black on white... I mean, green on black... Well, truth be told, that is how I originally expected the team to fare. Still, now it would be nicer if the team did better.

High five for Radagast! And Khamul, of course, although we knew that all the time...

One thing I should have changed is clear: I should have picked Vána over Estë from the beginning. But, no, it is a question of principle. I want to remain faithful to those I have picked. And one loss such as this does not mean anything. And on top of that, those I thought about leaving behind (Frumgar) actually managed to do something this time, so now I have no reason to leave them behind.

No. I am taking this as an experiment, of how many of my actual favs can make it to the end, and how well can they make it. Though I might still change them for some nice people, like, Ulmo for instance, or somebody. ("people"... )

Question: so how many people will we be able to change after this round? Seven, was it? That is still quite a lot, even if, say, Isengard dropped out (which would be probably the worst thing for my team).

phantom: just to be on the safe side with the rules...

- five stars can be used on this round, as you said.

- how many players can we have from one team, still two or already three?

- how many changes can we make after this last round of the group-stage going into the play-offs?

Being the second best of a round doesn't seem to help much so I'm going to change more or less the whole team.

Only Shadowfax and Yavanna will stay. Everyone else is replaced... Tough situation demands tough measures.

So here's the new team, hopefully living up to the allusion of the team's name:


Noggportunistics

GK – * Beorn of Erebor

DF – Shadowfax of Rohan
DF – Landroval of Erebor
DF – Malbeth of Eriador
DF – Erestor of Imladris

MF – Bard of Erebor
MF – Yavanna of FC Valinor
MF – * Beren of AC Beleriand

FW – * Ancalagon of Angband
FW – * Curufin of FC Valinor (C)
FW – * Sauron of Barad Dűr
