I'll do my trades later on, but these are my predictions (for the moment, anyway). Winners are in bold.
Angband vs Minas Tirith Eriador vs Doriath Erebor vs Imladris FC Valinor vs The Havens The Sea vs Real Valinor Rohan vs Dwarves United AC Beleriand vs Gondolin Gondor vs Shire-Bree United EDIT: Rohan to win!

Well then... after I did my team and was still wondering about a few players as whether to take A or B, I decided to check what those ahead of me had picked so as to not pick all the same players... only to realise I had all the time being trying to make a choice between the picks made by Nilp vs. those made by Gwath... Okay, great minds think alike, or how did it go?
![]() Let's hope this is productive and still different enough as I need to gain some points on the two... Five changes: -- FW - * Sauron of Barad Dûr ++ FW - * Arien of Real Valinor -- FW - * Ancalagon of Angband ++ FW - * Glorfindel of Eriador -- MF - Bard of Erebor ++ MF - * Anárion of Gondor -- DF - Erestor of Imladris ++ DF - *Morgoth of Angband -- GK - * Beorn of Erebor ++ GK - Theoden of Rohan Noggportunistics GK – Theoden of Rohan DF – Shadowfax of Rohan DF – Landroval of Erebor DF – Malbeth of Eriador DF – * Morgoth of Angband MF – * Anárion of Gondor MF – Yavanna of FC Valinor MF – * Beren of AC Beleriand FW – * Glorfindel of Eriador FW – * Curufin of FC Valinor (C) FW – * Arien of Real Valinor

Oh, and the predictions:
Angband prevails over Minas Tirith. Eriador beats Doriath, plain and simple. Erebor will do away with Imladris. FC Valinor wipes out The Havens. The Sea will give Real Valinor a fight, but loses. Rohan doesn't give Dwarves United a real chance. AC Beleriand will champion over hard-fighting Gondolin. Gondor falls down in front of Shire-Bree United.

Second place again! Ah, well, at least Gwazelle (
![]() As for my 100 million team, I messed up only with FC Val for the 4th semifinalist (and probably no-one else could have seen that from the beginning), so it's looking mighty fine. (Btw, phantom, according to my spreadsheet, Gwath has 152 pts for his 100 million team. Our tables have the same number of points for the players written down, but a different sum.) Anyway, onto my new squad: GK *Huan (FC Valinor) DF Ecthelion (AC Beleriand) DF Malbeth (Eriador) DF Caranthir (Real Valinor) DF *Tilion (Real Valinor) MF Arveleg (Eriador) MF Yavanna (FC Valinor) MF *Beren (AC Beleriand) FW *Glorfindel (Eriador) FW *Curufin (FC Valinor) FW **Feanor (AC Beleriand) (C) --*Huan ++*Beorn (I should have trusted in the beginning, and not that doggone Carcaroth!!!) --Yavanna ++Bard --*Curufin ++*Smaug (C) Atashi no Negai Movie 6 - The Return of the Oblivion Recorder: the Road to Baker Street GK *Beorn (Erebor) DF Ecthelion (AC Beleriand) DF Malbeth (Eriador) DF Caranthir (Real Valinor) DF *Tilion (Real Valinor) MF Arveleg (Eriador) MF Bard (Erebor) MF *Beren (AC Beleriand) FW *Glorfindel (Eriador) FW *Smaug (Erebor) (C) FW **Feanor (AC Beleriand) Predictions: ![]()

Yeah, this looks to be the make-or-break round. Everything looks up in the air, especially with the heavy favourites Barcelo--I mean, FC Valinor gone. My semifinals predictions, for instance, are more heart than head.

Quote:
-- * Curufin ++ ** Fëanor -- The B-W ++ Bard -- Shadowfax ++ Landroval I'll pick Fëanor over Smaug merely to use my stars. Bard and Landroval are coming back being already members of my team earlier. I'm giving Arien the captaincy: not that I'm confident she will score two or a hat-trick, but more from principle. And if she performs none else gains those extra points: in this situation one needs to go for the different choices... ![]() Why can't one have five forwards? And why do we have such lousy midfielders this year around? ![]() Noggportunistics GK *Elrond (Eriador) DF Landroval (Erebor) DF Malbeth (Eriador) DF *Tilion (Real Valinor) DF *Fingolfin (AC Beleriand) MF Yavanna (FC Valinor) MF Bard (Erebor) MF * Beren (AC Beleriand) FW *Glorfindel (Eriador) FW **Fëanor (AC Beleriand) FW *Arien (Real Valinor) C The predictions: Erebor is in flames after beating FC Valinor and will beat Eriador as well. Real Valinor will take their own against AC Beleriand (it may be it goes the other way around but seeing Nilp and Gwath taking the other stance I'll risk it for 6 points difference with them and keep my thumbs up for Arien, Miriel and Tilion to just storm it!).
