Traditionally, semifinals is where I come a cropper, turning from contender to Arsenal. So if any of you want to win this, all you have to do is make sure you don't do worse than I.

Is it telling that over 50% of my points come from betting on Balrog#4 and Balrog#5? Well, if only I had such good eye for all folks, not just the black horses... I mean... whatever.

Need to do a major overhaul. Guess I need to figure out how to make it as major as possible with only three trades...

--GK Tar-Atanamir
--MF Ingwë
--FW Arien

++GK *Huan (FC Val)
++MF *Beleg (Hithlum)
++FW *InzilWolf (TIG)

Therefore, we have:

SALT AND SMOKE (AND CANINES)
GK *Huan (FC Val)
DF *Tilion (Real Val)
DF Balrog#4 (AC Bel)
DF Balrog#5 (Hithlum)
DF Estë (Valimar)
MF Tar-Míriel (Armenelos)
MF *Beleg (Hithlum)
MF *Glorfindel (Eriador)
FW *Curufin (FC Val)
FW **Fëanor (AC Bel) -> C
FW *InzilWolf (TIG)

Predictions:
Hithlum over TIG
FC Val over AC Bel

Nice to see the 'Downs working again... and the points, the points... d'uh!

But after Nilp there are four players competing for the second place within 8 points... that's one goal for a captain others don't have or a goal and assist for a midfielder. That's close!

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.)

1420! Preseason predictions update
(Disclaimer: All of these are unofficial, of course.)

Boro's winning the $100 million dollar team. I won't bother posting the list cos the only one who's close is Shasta, and it isn't. (198 with 7 active players for Boro v 186 with 8 for Shasta.)

Coming into the final matchday, here are the phantasy points leader (per position):

FW
Túrin (HTH) 29 - Zil, morm, G55
Curufin (FCV) 25 - Shasta, Gwath
Fëanor (ACB) 25 - Sally, Nilp, Legate, Boro, Nerwen, Wilwa

MF
PhantomWolf (TIG) 27
Beleg (HTH) 25
Argon (FCV) 23
Hador (HTH) 22
Yavanna (FCV) 20 - Zil, Shasta, Gwath

DF
Fingolfin (ACB) 25 - Boro, Wilwa
BoroWolf (TIG) 23
NilpWolf (TIG) 22
Eonwe (FCV) 21 - Nilp, Gwath
Draugluin (TIG) 14 - G55, Nerwen
Balrog #5 (HTH) 12 - Legate

GK
Marach (ACB) 26
Huor (HTH) 24
Huan (FCV) 22 - morm, Sally, Nilp, Gwath, Boro, Nerwen
Shasta (TIG) 22

Out of my challengers, Boro can get the most points (15) from these predictions.

Good thing the gap between us is 29.

(Name on the trophy!)
