Champions League Last 16 Draw



As expected there was no real surprises in the group stages with all of strongest sides in each of the 8 groups progressing with 6 of these being group winners, Only ourselves and Ttrabzonspor had 6-0-0 records. The draw has turned out very favourable for the likes of Kadir FC and a side that played in L15 league last season Hurray FC. But Looking at the draw, July Fourth will be the team to beat for anyone if they want to win this Champions League this season.

Champions League Winner Odds
July Fourth 1/2
Kadir FC 7/1
Ttrabzonspor 9/1
Hurray FC 12/1
Coloz United 14/1

Lion FC 33/1

SR Napoli 40/1
Geneva 50/1
SLU Budziszow 100/1
FC L. francezve 100/1

I would have thought Coloz would be priced at below 10/1. Are their bench players low quality?

They only have 5x 4* quality players on the bench, but if they want to win, they may need to beat ourselves, Ttranzonspor and Kadir... I don't think they should be less than 14/1. They don't have many with SA either, Just a FK and Pen taker.

Cup in 21 minutes. Set up with an attacking 4-5-1 v with a view to change to the 4-3-2-1 or 3-5-2 v depending on the score. Hope I get through this alive. 1-1 puts it to ET and then pens, 0-0 and I lose on away goals. 2-2 or better and any win and I'm through and of course losing means I'm out

Cup, 2nd round - FC alemanu (L8, 47.1) 2-0 Perfect Tactics (L5, 46.9) (1-1)

FC Alemanu win 3-1 on aggregate

Fabregas had a chance to put us 1-0 up in the first minute, Petersen's cross was met by the Spaniard but he couldn't divert his header into the goal. A costly miss resulted in Alemanu taking the lead after Pisha was put through on goal, squaring it to Johannson for 1-0. We were trying to find a goal but we just couldn't get past their defence. We had several corners headed clear and on occasions the goalkeeper was on hand to pluck the ball out of the air. But it was Alemanu who got the 2nd goal, Saa raced clear of the defence and passing to Johannson for his 2nd goal. It was a poor game for us and we didn't show the attacking flare that we usually play with.

Goals: Johannson (9', 65')
MOTM: Snead

Yeah... Screw this new cup, I had as much chance as the previous format. Opponent bought 5* players which I saw as 8*... My 6* players had no chance of stopping them

Well at least you gave it your best shot...

What's plan at end season buy a few 3* 5/0 players to lower your average a little?
