PHANTASY FOOTBALL: Arda Cup 2013

[Galadriel55]

I came back, but not back enough to figure out what's going on (or I'm just too busy defending one epic hero over at the Books forum ). Can someone tell me where we are right now and what/if I need to do something to my team in the near future?

Perfect timing, Galadriel. Round 2 just finished. I'll be posting the points and such shortly....

You have unlimited trades this round, but this is the last time that happens. Next round you're only allowed seven trades, so you'd better not have more than seven of your players get eliminated. (A guide to which teams risk elimination can be found here.)

You are now allowed five stars on your squad. Best of luck.
