The latest TTN Power Rankings, after Matchday #2
KEY: (Previous rank. Results from first 2 matches. Goal Differential)
POWER RANKINGS
01. FC Valinor - 104.0
(Previous: #1. Results: WW +5)
-There has been no slowing down FC Valinor thus far. They have been making mincemeat of the "group of death"
02. AC Beleriand - 52.2
(Previous: #8. Results: DW +4)
-After a 5-goal slaughter of Nargothrond AC Beleriand rises to take 2nd. True Nargothrond's defense is terrible, but nevertheless, a 5-1 thumping will raise attention.
03. Erebor - 51.0
(Previous: #6. Result: WW +3)
-Nice win over the previous #2 Wilderland, and Erebor looks to make some noise in the playoffs.
04. Eriador - 43.4
(Previous: #4 Results: WW +3)
-Well, Elrond's side comes in at #4 yet again. Good 2-goal win over probably the most talented team in their group, but Group B doesn't have any serious championship contenders (excluding Eriador, of course)
05. Wilderland - 41.6
(Previous: #2 Result: WL +1)
-Not terrible to lose against Erebor, but they must bounce back with at least a 2-goal win over Dwarves United, for TTN to start respecting Wilderland more.
06. Real Valinor - 38.4
(Previous: #7. Results: LW -2)
-We think there's a bit of a flub in Nilp's rankings, since some how Real Valinor is dropped to the worst team of the tournament? They needed that win against Tirion, and the match against Armenolos should draw the largest crowd for a group match ever.
07. Rohan - 37.9
(Previous: #5 Result: WW +2)
-A pair of 1-0 victories, as Rohan seems to want to play like the Valar teams of previous years. Very good defensively, but they haven't been challenged by a dangerous attack yet.
08. Armenolos - 36.9
(Previous: #3 Result: WL -1)
-Tough loss to FC Valinor, but they have the best in their group finished and Armenolos' playoff fate is entirely in their own hands. They wouldn't want it any other way.
09. Angfauglith - 34.9
(Previous: #14 Result: DW +1)
-Needed that win against Doriath, but now plays AC Beleriand in the final match, and they can not get blown out.
10. Imladris - 29.9
(Previous: #25 Result: LW +1)
-We really can't understand this team. For several consecutive matches they couldn't score at all, then they put up 3 against Misty Mountains. Now watch, Isengard will shut them out.
11. Angband - 24.9
(Previous: #9 Result: WD +2)
-They could have taken complete control over their group, but a rather disappointing draw with The Shire leaves all of Group A up for grabs.
12. Valimar - 23.8
(Previous: #11 Result: DD 0)
13. The Sea - 22.5
(Previous: #15 Result: DD 0)
14. Gondor - 19.0
(Previous: #20 Result: WW +2)
-Gondor begins a nice climb as they wrap up Group H and are automatically advancing. Even though Group H is the void when it comes to legitimate contenders.
15. Doriath - 17.6
(Previous: #13 Result: DL -1)
16. Hithlum - 17.2
(Previous: #19 Result: DD 0)
-Another draw, but they really needed that win against The Havens. Fortunately they can draw in their last match and still be pretty sure about advancing, due to scoring the most goals in their group and the fact that no one can win a game.
17. Nargothrond - 17.2
(Previous: #12 Result: DL -4)
-An absolutely pathetic performance, Finrod should be embarrassed.
18. The Havens - 17.1
(Previous: #21 Result: DD 0)
19. Shire Bree Utd - 16.7
(Previous: #23 Result: DD 0)
-Nice draws, but for some reason I feel The Downer has a surprise or 2 left to spoil The Shire's apparently good chances of advancing.
20. Inter Beleriand - 16.5
(Previous: #23 Result: DW +1)
-Gondor has clearly become the frontrunners of Group H, so why do we have this nagging feeling that they will lose to Barad-dur?
21. Anduin - 16.3
(Previous: #16 Result: LD -2)
22. Tirion - 16.2
(Previous: #10 Result: LL -2)
23. Misty Mts - 14.7
(Previous: #17 Result: DL -2)
24. Isengard - 14.1
(Previous: #18 Result: DL -1)
25. Tol In Gaurhoth - 11.3
(Previous: #24 Result: DD 0)
-Not a good result against The Downer, and BoroWight's inbox is flooded with hate-pms
26. Gondolin - 9.7
(Previous: #22 Result: DL -2)
27. Minas Tirith - 9.4
(Previous: #26 Result: DD 0)
28. Dwarves Utd - 9.2
(Previous: #31 Result: LD -2)
29. Arnor - 7.1
(Previous: #27 Result: LL -2)
30. Mordor - 6.2
(Previous: #30 Result: LD -1)
31. Barad Dur - 6.0
(Previous: #29 Result: DL -1)
32. The Downer - 5.4
(Previous: #32 Result: LD -2)
