Fun.
Oh, Nog, you're not fooling anyone. You were also sixteen points behind the leader coming into the semifinals last time around. And we all know what happened.

(I won't even have the benefit of 10 extra points this time, cos Boro [169] and Shasta's [161] $100 million lead are too big for me [147] to catch up.)

(Oh, Gwath [148] and Nog [147] are also in the top five. These scores are unofficial, though.)

Off goes:
DF *Tilion (RealV)
FW *Arien (Valimar)
FW *Miriel (RealV)

Bringing in Eönwe, Thuringwethil and Túrin the team will be:


Noggportunistics

GK Huor (Hithlum)

DF BoroWolf (T-i-G)
DF Aragorn (Eriador) - redundant
DF *Fingolfin (AC Beleriand)
DF *Eönwe (FC Valinor)

MF Argon (FC Valinor)
MF Hador (Hithlum)
MF *PhantomWolf (T-i-G)

FW **Feanor (AC Beleriand)
FW Thuringwethil (T-i-G) C
FW **Túrin (Hithlum)


And the predictions are as follows:

AC Beleriand wins FC Valinor.
Hithlum wins Tol In Gaurhoth on penalties.



With Nilp having a secure lead and picking up all the "obvious" players to score points I need to gamble with something - which is trusting on Thuringwethil... all or nothing it is then.

If you're going to make trades or predictions, get them up fast. The writers will be posting the semifinals in the next 2 or 3 days.

A few changes are certainly in order. Don't take it personally, Nerwen, dear. I just think we need a little more offensiveness in our offense, and when it comes to being offensive, you can't beat Phantom. (For the record, I've no idea how football really works.)
