Phantasy Thread: Arda Cup Football 2009

[the phantom]

Welcome to the Phantasy Team Competition!

You will select your team members from the rosters available below, and will be awarded points according to how your players fare in their tournament games.

You must have one GK (goal keeper) and then you can use one of the following formations found below. (Formations listed as DF-MF-FW)

• 5-4-1
• 4-5-1
• 3-6-1
• 4-4-2
• 4-3-3

In other words, if you choose 4-4-2, then you want to place 4 defenders, 4 midfielders, and 2 fowards on your team along with the goalie of your choice.

In addition, during group play you may not choose more than 3 players from one team.

Rules for gaining points are as follows.

• Goal by FW- 4 pts
• Goal by MF- 5 pts
• Goal by DF- 6 pts
• Assist- 3 pts
• Shutout, GK- 4 pts
• Shutout, DF- 4 pts
• Shutout, MF- 1 pt
• Allows 1 goal, GK- 2 pts
• Allows 1 goal, DF- 2 pts
• 3 GK saves- 2 pts
• Yellow Card- -1 pts
• Red Card- -3 pts

And just like last time you can gain extra points for pretourney and playoff predictions!

And this year we're going to have a star system for drafting your team. Players with a star by them are considered by Arda Kicker Magazine to be solid players with a higher liklihood of scoring than other players at their position. Players with 2 stars are the cream of the crop, and are the most likely to gain points at their position. The team they play on and their name recognition can contribute slightly to their star status. And of course, there is no guarantee that star players will score more. It's just more likely.

The team that you select may not exceed SIX total stars. (number may change after conversation with co-mods, and it might go up for the playoffs as well)

If you have any questions, please ask. It's not as complicated as it looks.

Rosters and groupings coming up next!

Note on the rosters- If a MF or DF is listed lower down the roster (towards the FWs), then they are more likely to be involved in the offense than those MFs or DFs listed higher up towards the GK. Of course, there is no guarantee MFs closer to FWs will score more, but their chances are generally better.

Note on trades- After the first two rounds of group play, you can draft a completely new team. Unlimited trades. After the third and final round of group play, you are allowed six trades. After each playoff round, you are allowed only two trades. Do not under any circumstances edit your old teams once play has started. If you want to trade someone, make a new post stating the trade and list your new team.

[the phantom]

Just like last year, you can gain bonus points for accurate predictions. Along with submitting your team, please predict-

Who will score the most goals in the tournament?

Who will have the most assists in the tournament?

Who will score the most total points in the tournament?

Which team will win the tournament?

Each of those will be worth TEN bonus points.

And then, predict the winner and runner up from each of the eight groups. Predicting the winner is worth 3 points. The runner up is worth 1. If you select the correct two teams but have their positions reversed, you will be awarded 2 points. So that's a possible THIRTY-TWO points right there!

[mormegil]

So if I understand correctly I can pick a Players? If so I would like Turin first please. How does this draft work?

[the phantom]

No draft, sir. Any player may be owned by anyone. Everyone can have Turin on their team. You have complete freedom of selection (except for you must have a valid formation and not exceed the star cap).

[Eönwë]

Frealaf for Felarof
Cirdan for Finwe
Elros back for Theoden

-MF- Idril (Alqualonde)
-MF- Earendil (Eregion)
**FW- Eonwe (Valimar)
*FW- Tom Bombadil (Bree) (C)
*FW- Finwe (Tuna)

and for predictions:

Angband versus Romenna: Angband wins

Nargothrond versus Tol-in-Gaurhoth: Nargothrond wins

Hithlum versus Taniquetil: Hithlum wins

Eregion versus Dor-Lomin: a tough one, but Eregion wins

Armenelos versus Erebor: Armenelos wins

Edoras versus Minas Morgul: Edoras wins

Tuna versus Mirkwood: Tuna wins

Valimar versus Minas Tirith: Valimar wins

[Hakon]

You can't have Tom on your team. Bree is no longer in the competition. Also Tom is a two star player.

[Nogrod]

Neither should you have Idril of Alqualonde...

[Eönwë]

oh... wait... yeah... sorry about that....

I mean:

Replace Idril with Mardil
Replace Tom with Miriel

Make Eonwe cap'n o' this ship

[the phantom]

The games are due to start very soon. I'm compiling a list of Phantasy teams right now to post. I will probably allow TGEW an extra trade after this round since she didn't make any after group play. Gwath will suffer a minor penalty for not changing his formation. And Nog- by my count you have 8 stars! You didn't count Tar Telperien's star it looks like. You still have time to change it if you move quick though.

Yep, Skip, I've got the points added up. I'll be putting 'em up now, and I think tp will be adding all the bonus points to figure out the winner.

Don't be mad at me Hakon, I was doing great...until floundering right at the very end when it matters haha.

Now it's down to all the bonus points, will Skip complete his near unbelievable comeback? Or can Boro hold onto his slim, and diminishing lead? Or maybe all those bonus from predicting most points, goals, and assists will make a surprise winner out of those teams in the 220-240 range? You will have to hold your breath for the phantom to get those answers.

P.S. Individually make sure I've added your team's points up correctly, I've rechecked and rechecked (with a calculator too!) for the past day and a half, but I never trust myself when it comes to math.

P.P.S. Check out Skip's amazing forwards! I think that's the best possible combination, too bad Ar Pharazon wasn't your Captain.
