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.

So in other words, all of the players in my team except two just got eliminated? How nice. I mean, ridiculous. There were definitely some people from obviously weak teams, but I never expected all three of Wilderland/Armenelos/Isengard to be eliminated. And at least Misty Mts or Valimar could have randomly stayed.
Okay, so that means... utter revamp, as much as I can. Means still leaving two totally useless players at least for this round (if not rather more)... but no can do. Technical question, Phantom - can we also completely change the formation? As in, if I e.g. have a 4-5-1 formation, I remove two midfielders, can I exchange them for forwards, which will leave me with a 4-3-3 formation, which is also a legitimate one?

TTN's staff is too swamped and over-worked (in preparation for the Arda Olympics 2012  ), so I'm afraid no Power-rankings or playoff break-downs. But my phantasy team and predictions will be up today.

P.S. Phantom! One more thing I just discovered. I believe you have miscounted my points for the last round - at least as far as Galadriel is concerned. She has been my captain for two last rounds (I think you had it right previously but for some reason messed it up this time), so I should get twice the amount of points for her, shouldn't I? Not that it makes a big difference, but...

Got your captain changed, Legate. Not sure why it was switched...

People just have to decide how risky they want to play. Go for big reward or safety? There were five teams already guaranteed to advance after round 2, and if one chooses to include only one player from those teams then there's definitely the risk of eliminated players. Particularly with the full allowed three players from Isengard which most people (including you) didn't pick to advance.  Apparently you didn't trust your pre-tourney picks enough.  And Boro- I can't believe no playoff breakdowns! You'd better at least be ready for the quarterfinals, because at some point you must attempt to match your 7 of 8 score prediction from a few years ago.  How about you, Nilp? Going to grant us some of your wisdom?
