I’ll use colour coding here. Make it a bit easier. For those familiar with the visual novel, When They Cry 3/4, I’ll use those colours. Being red and blue text. Red is a fact. Blue being for a theory. Using my research, I’m going to try to predict realisitically, in an unbiased manner.
So, let’s begin.
Part 1:
If the all-star teams only counted top scorers, the 10 top scorers would take every position, including the defenders and goal keeper positions. Top goal scorer is not the same as Most Valuable Player, top goal scorer only indicates which foward a majority of the team favours to use. We do not know what an actual, real-life game of yooyuball would look like. All team members would be involved, not just a single forward. However, Top Goal scorer counts a tiny bit when it comes to choosing the all-star teams. In the third cup, Mirsha Grelinek was on the first team, despite Shenkuu coming in 4th, due to her top position on the top scorers chart.
However, Lilo Blumario was in 6th place on the top scorer charts. Zo Junior, ‘Dasher’ Soley and Vonde Cayle and Bertie Shurtz were all denied a position on the first team in favour of Roo Island’s Team Captain. I argue that the position as team captain in the top 4 ensures a position on at least one of the all-star teams. We can also conclude that Layton Vickles, Derlyn Fonnet and Leera Heggle are on the all-star first team. Lilo Blumario is also on a team.
The position of right forward and right defender for the first team are vacant for the time being. Lilo Blumario could be the right forward on either team. Also, because Lost Desert placed first, and his high position on the top scorers page, Vonde Cayle is ensured the other left forward spot. XL Striker 3.8, Qlydae Wegg or Jair Tollet cannot be the other left forward. We must remember that Top Goal Scorer placement does not ensure a spot on the all-star team. Otherwise, Zo Junior would have been considered before Vonde Cayle and “Dasher” Soley in ACII
In the past, the top 2 teams (Lost Desert and Kreludor) have received 2-3/10 positions each. 1-2/10 has been permitted to the 3/4th placed teams (Darigan Citadel and Roo Island). 1 has been permitted to the 5th place team. 0-1 has been permitted to the 6th place team.
Therefore, Lost Desert is permitted one more spot. In the past 1st place has received 2 places on the first team, and one on the second. Using this logic, No more Lost Desert players can be on the second team. Luvea Trivon cannot be on an all-star team. That leaves Derbi Azar and Lamelle Turow for positions on the first team.
So far, my candidates are as follows.
First team:
LF: Layton Vickles
RF: Lilo Blumario or Derbi Azar or Zenor Kevix
LD: Derlyn Fonnet
RD: Lamelle Turow or Tormo Frein
GK: Leera Heggle
Second Team: (Brackets due to possible change between formation)
LF: Vonde Cayle
(CF): Elon Hughlis
(RF): Lilo Blumario or Elon Hughlis or Keetra Deile or Tandrak Shaye or Zenor Kevix
(LD): Fenny Vail or Kep Bonnefie
(CD/RD)Coco Metrone or Tormo Frien or Gordo Grunnels
GK: Jurin T. or Reshar Collifay
———————————–
Part 2: I’ll start off with two red truths.
The fifth place teams gets a single position on the second team. Maraqua is guaranteed a position. Krawk Island and Meridell do not qualify for the all-star teams, regardless of their performance during the cup. “Dasher” Soley and “Wizard” Windelle do not qualify for a position on the teams.
And I’ll repeat, having a position on the top scorers list does not guarantee a spot on the all-star team, otherwise the team will be full of top scorers. Mirsha Grelinek, Zo Junior, Kayn Hireck and Bertie Shurtz do not qualify for a position on the all-star team. We can also theorise that… Virtupets may get a spot on the team. If it did, the spot would likely go to Keetra Deile. On Team Virtupets, none of the robots are able to get a position.
Each all-star team will follow 2+2 format, so team defence can also be recognised. Keetra Deile and Tandrak Shaye cannot be on the second team.
Also, The Neopets Team does not follow the same logic as the Neopian Public, this article is written using The Neopets Team logic.
Now, we’ll use some blue to theorise the remaining positions on the teams.
Lamelle Turow was 3rd runner up for Rookie of the Year in his debut. This indicates that he is an excellent defender, and a key element in Lost Desert’s team. This then eliminates Derbi Azar from gaining a position on either team.
Elon Hughlis will receive the position of Right Forward on the second team, due to his leadership, but also for being an excellent forward. Being Roo Island’s Team Captain, and being a right forward, Lilo Blumario is unable to receive a position on the second team, but in ensured a position on the first team.
Reshar Collifay has received a position on the all-star team several times before, and has also been voted a runner up for Rookie of the Year, and Most Valuable Player. He will receive the position of goal keeper on the second team. Team Darigan Citadel can have no more than 2/10 people on the all-star teams.
Since Darigan can have no more than two players appearing, Tormo Frein cannot have a position. Kreludor needs at least 2 players out of 10 on the teams. The other position will co to Coco Metrone.
In the left position, Fenny Vail has proved to be a good defender, having reached the all-star team many times, and being the stated reason Roo Island beat Lost Desert in the first Altador Cup. Kep Bonefire will not get the position because the second Darigan Position went to the goal keeper.
So, I theorise that the first team will look like this:
LF: Layton Vickles
RF: Lilo Blumario
LD: Derlyn Fonnet
RD: Lamelle Turow
GK: Leera Heggle
And the second will look like this:
LF: Vonde Cayle
RF: Elon Hughlis
LD: Fenny Vail
RD: Coco Metrone
GK: Reshar Collifay
