Arda Cup Soccer 2008- Phantasy- er, I Mean Fantasy Thread
Okay, we almost have full rosters, so I figured I'd go ahead and lay down the rules for this.
You must select a total of 11 players. You must have a goalie, and then after that you can use any of these formations- (DF-MF-FW) 5-4-1 4-5-1 3-6-1 4-4-2 4-3-3 The system for gaining points- SCORING A GOAL FW = 4 pts MF = 5 pts DF/G = 6 pts SCORING AN ASSIST FW/MF/DF/G = 3 pts ALLOWING THE OPPENENT ZERO GOALS DF/G = 4 pts MF = 1 pts ALLOWING THE OPPONENT ONE GOAL DF/G = 2 pts MAKING 3 SAVES G = 1 pt In addition to those normal methods of scoring fantasy points, there are bonus points available to everyone for making accurate predictions. Please predict- 1) A winner for every group (each worth 2 pts) 2) A runner up for every group (each worth 1 pt) Note: If you have the two reversed you will be awarded a point 3) The player who will score the most goals (worth 10 pts) 4) The player who will score the most assists (worth 10 pts) 5) The player who will score the most fantasy points (worth 10 pts) 6) The team that will win it all. (worth 10 pts) In each round of the playoffs you can predict the winner of each match. For every one you get right you will be awarded a fantasy point. There will be three rounds of matches during group play. Before each round you are allowed to swap in and out anyone you want on your fantasy roster. But after the final round of group play you will only be allowed six trades, thus you had better have your team at least half-set for the playoffs before the final round of group play. After each playoff round you will be allowed three trades. When you have your team, post it like this- TEAM NAME G- Player DF- Player DF- Player DF- Player DF- Player MF- Player MF- Player MF- Player MF- Player FW- Player FW- Player And when you make a trade, please do NOT edit your team (in case we are still busy adding fantasy points). Simply announce your trade and before the next round begins either Nog or I will post a list of updated fantasy team rosters. All right, that should do it for now. As soon as I have the full Tol-In-Gaurhoth roster I will post the final rosters here, as well as some tips to keep in mind when selecting your fantasy team.

When selecting your team, look at the order in which the players are listed (particularly midfielders).
In general, the MFs that are listed farther down closer to the FWs tend to get involved more in the offense, while the MFs listed higher up are more defensive minded. This is not a guarantee that the lower MFs will score more fantasy points, however there is a greater probability of them scoring more fantasy points. In other words, I would generally slant my selections towards those MFs lower on the list, but don't get upset if one of yours gets shut down and the one above him scores a bunch. There are no guarantees.

Guide...
Here is a very general guide to the teams and groups. I'm hoping this will help you make good fantasy picks (if all the teams in a group are defensive, don't pick FWs from there, etc.).
GROUP A FORNOST - a very balanced team, excellent teamwork and spirit MICHEL DELVING - they like to outscore opponents to counter their suspect defense, have been legally allowed to use Ent-draught on their players RIVENDELL (H) - fantastic team defense, plus they'll have the home crowd ROMENA - boring defensive style, but talented athletes GROUP B BREELAND - very capable of scoring, but falls asleep defensively EDORAS (H) - attacking, will score a bit but leaves goal open to counter-attack, has the home crowd behind them MIRKWOOD - will try to outscore opponents plain and simple TOL-IN-GAURHOTH - mega-aggressive, leaves defenders exposed and counts on their individual talent to keep opponent from scoring more than twice, TIG thinks they can always score at least two goals GROUP C ALQUALONDE - good talent up and down the field, conventional style, very pretty uniforms DORIATH (H) - solid all over, count on Melian too much at times, have home crowd FORMENOS - superior athletes top to bottom, lockdown defense and effective scorers ISENGARD - good talent, but have team chemistry problems GROUP D LOTHLORIEN - very good defense, untested offense NARGOTHROND - very solid, no obvious weakness OSGILIATH (H) - methodical and boring but know how to win, plus home crowd UMBAR - very diverse team and relatively untested GROUP E EREBOR - good defense and capable of scoring GONDOLIN (H) - can score with anyone, have home crowd GONDOR - good teamwork, plays smart TUNA - likely to give away goals, also likely to score a lot GROUP F AMON RHUD - patchwork team, very defensive ARMENELOS - good talent top to bottom, amazing athletes HELM'S DEEP - defensive specialists, like low scoring contests TANIQUETIL (H) - legendary names, play ultra-conservatively, home crowd GROUP G HITHLUM - can definitely score, defense usually good enough MINAS TIRITH - good balance and work together well MORDOR (H) - even without Sauron still a dangerous team, impossible to keep off scoreboard, especially at home MORIA - strong talent up front, but weaker at the back GROUP H ANGBAND (H) - amazing talent all over, no weakness, playing at home ANNUMINAS - capable defense and good offensive talent BRETHIL - no outstanding weakness or strength, try to keep games low scoring VALIMAR - outstanding players up and down the roster, equally good defense and offense

Predictions
Group A: 1st - Rivendell / 2nd - Fornost
Group B: 1st - Edoras / 2nd - Tol-in-Gaurhoth Group C: 1st - Formenos / 2nd - Doriath Group D: 1st - Nargothrond / 2nd - Osgiliath Group E: 1st - Gondolin / 2nd - Erebor Group F: 1st - Armenelos / 2nd - Taniquetil Group G: 1st - Hithlum / 2nd - Mordor Group H: 1st - Angband / 2nd - Valimar Most goals: Gothmog (Angband) Most assists: Melkor (Angband) Most points: Gothmog (Angband) Winner: Angband I don't think there will be an upset this year, there are just too many very strong teams. Angband look the strongest to me, and their will, not just to win, but to defeat and crush their opponents, could well see them crowned champions.

All right- that's two teams and predictions thus far- Eomer and Cailin.
Formy, Valesse, Ang, Lhuna, McCaber, Gwath, Tuor, Skip, and Hook- you've all posted on the thread. I'd love to see you submit predictions and a fantasy team. It doesn't take much time. I have all of the next two months to get this tournament in, but I'd like to get started sooner rather than later. PM people that you think might be interested in this sort of thing. Once I have enough people I'll start the matches, and that's when the fun will really start!

Elmo, are you going to give group and scoring predictions as well? Remember, that can score you extra fantasy points.
All right, we have six entries so far. Excellent. I'll start sending some pms to people who have posted on the threads but haven't made predictions or picked teams.

Making predictions isn't quite my things... I'd rather sit around and snipe at other people's, but the phantom's PM has sat in my PM box for the last couple weeks or so while I've been gallivanting around the continent, and I feel guilty...
With no more ado, then... I'm not seeing this in the rules anywhere, but I'm unclear: is my fantasy roster supposed to be composed entirely of players that no one else owns? That seems to be the idea, but I'm rather too lazy to cross-check every player everyone's picked.

No you can pick players others have picked. I couldn't be bothered with it if you couldn't.

All right, the following have entered in the Fantasy Challenge-
Eomer Cailin Gwathagor Elmo Skip Anguirel Lhuna Nilp And Form- you can pick any players you want. It doesn't matter if they've been picked already. As soon as I have predictions from both Form and Nogrod I shall begin the first round, so if you know anyone who wants to participate please tell them to get a move on.

Right then... late as I am getting to this, I'm still beating Nogrod out. I hope...
Anyway, I too think the redoubtable Melian is THE goalie to beat, so... G- Melian DF- Lúthien DF- Gandalf DF- Hookbill the Goomba DF- Frodo MF- Amrod MF- Amras MF- Aragorn II FW- Sauron FW- Isildur FW- Glorfindel For my predictions regarding the first round: GROUP A RIVENDELLl 1st, Fornost 2nd GROUP B TOL-IN-GAURHOTH 1st, Edoras 2nd GROUP C DORIATH 1st, Formenos 2nd GROUP D NARGOTHROND -1st, Lothlórien 2nd GROUP E GONDOLIN 1st, Erebor 2nd GROUP F ARMENELOS 1st, Taniquetil 2nd GROUP G MORDOR 1st, Hithlum 2nd GROUP H ANGBAND 1st, Valimar 2nd

It's cheating to have 12 players, Form.

Wha...
Oh. I miscounted. This is what comes of posting too late... my arithmetic fails me. I shall fix that.

You are indeed. But I'll have my squad ready tomorrow and it will hopefully beat yours in the game...

Here it comes then.
Goalkeeper: Huan (Formenos) Defence: Saeros (Doriath) Caranthir (Formenos) Gelmir (Nargothrond) Meneldil (Osgiliath) Midfielders: Idril (Gondolin) Nienna (Taniquetil) Nerdanel (Tuna) Forwards: Ancalagon (Angband) Smaug (Erebor) Nogrod (Tol-in-Gaurhoth) That was such a hard one! It was indeed sad I was myself in the line-up for a forward for I couldn't help but choosing myself just for the tragedy of it... and just think of the alternatives!!! My predictions for the first round then... GROUP A 1. Rivendell 2. Michel Delving GROUP B 1. Tol-in-gaurhoth 2. Edoras GROUP C 1. Formenos 2. Doriath GROUP D 1. Nargothrond 2. Osgiliath GROUP E 1. Gondolin 2. Gondor GROUP F 1. Taniquetil 2. Armenelos GROUP G 1. Mordor 2. Minas Tirith GROUP H 1. Angband 2. Valimar I'll throw the last predictions after I have given them some thought... But we're off now! Sorry to have kept you waiting...

Btw.
How does the change into the round robins take place after the group-phase? Is it like: Game I : 1st group A - 2nd group H Game II: 1st group B - 2nd group G Game III: 1st group C - 2nd group F Game IV: 1st group D - 2nd group E Game V: 1st group E - 2nd group D Game VI: 1st group F - 2nd group C Game VII: 1st group G - 2nd group B Game VIII: 1st group H - 2nd group A Or like: Game I : 1st group A - 2nd group D Game II: 1st group B - 2nd group C Game III: 1st group C - 2nd group B Game IV: 1st group D - 2nd group A Game V: 1st group E - 2nd group H Game VI: 1st group F - 2nd group G Game VII: 1st group G - 2nd group F Game VIII: 1st group H - 2nd group E Or some other way? Just curious...

All right- we have ten competing fantasy teams! I have on paper a master list of all of your pre-tournament predictions.
Fantasy teams are locked in now. After the first sixteen matches I will announce the next round of match-ups and you will be allowed unlimited trades. The same goes for after that round. But remember that after the third and final round of group play you will only be allowed six trades. And once the playoffs begin only three trades per round are allowed. Quote:
If you have a name for your team just post it here.

There has been one change to the fantasy point system. I edited my first post. The goalie can now earn additional points for saves.
If you think that will greatly impact your choice you may replace your goalie at this time. When you do trades please just post who is leaving your team and who is joining your team.
