[asero]

Man City had a 50-50 chance of being in the group of death..luckily they avoided the dreaded group

hope it will be followed by City and Dortmund If that doesn't happen I then hope it to be followed by Lille and then Dortmund (A group of domestic champions!)

Nasri spoiled himself a return to Marseilles as his former team drew OM

Olympiakos joins Arsenal and OM

City joins Munich and Villarreal

Basel joins Utd and Benfica

Leverkusen joins Chelsea and Valencia

I'll update this as the teams get drawn to groups:


A: Bayern Munich, Villareal, Man City, Napoli -- tough group!

B: Inter Milan, CSKA Moscow, Lille, Trabzonspor -- Another tough one

C: Manchester United, Benfica, FC Basel, Otelul -- Easy group for Utd!

D: Real Madrid, Lyon, Ajax, Zagreb -- Tricky group

E: Chelsea, Valencia, Bayer Leverkusen, Genk -- Chelsea will dominate this group

F: Arsenal, Marseille, Olympiakos, Dortmund -- Good group! Matches should be a cracker!

G: FC Porto, Shakhtar Donetsk, Zenit St Petersburg, Apoel -- Softest group ever?

H: Barcelona, AC Milan, Bate, Plzen -- I hoped for a better group

[tellracs_eiram]

Confirmed: Man United to win the group! No way we can lose to these nobodies! Thank you lord!!!!

[tellracs_eiram]

Madrid also in tough group tho...Lyon especially. Ajax also...they're no mugs....

Group A's the group of death

[jmdarcega]

Group A is the dead center. - totally unpredictable.
Group B is a free for all group.
Group C is WTF.
Group D is a CLASSIC group...considering their histories of success.
Group E is also a WTF albeit a slighter one.
Group F is exciting, like B
Group G is BORING
Group H is for Barcelona and AC Milan.

[TheYoungblood]

Group A is the toughest. All 4 of them have a chance for the knockout round and it's quite tough to bet on who will qualify. Group F seems interesting and exciting to watch along with Dortmund debuting the Champions League, I wonder how they will fair against the veteran clubs of Europe. Group C is quite easy for United to top and might not get a draw and get 18 points.

[KizunaMith]

Can't believe Lyon and Real Madrid are meeting again for the 1275th time in this competition.

[marky_83]

man city getting a baptism of fire in the UCL!goodluck! there is a fair chance that they will not make it out of their group

[phillo]

Group A:
Bayern Munich, Villareal, Man City, Napoli
Tough introduction to CL for City. Bayern to top group, Villareal and City to fight for the 2nd spot

Group B:
Inter Milan, CSKA Moscow, Lille, Trabzonspor
Another tough group, Inter and CSKA to go through

Group C:
Manchester United, Benfica, FC Basel, Otelul
Easy draw for United, Benfica to join them

Group D:
Real Madrid, Lyon, Ajax, Zagreb
Very little to choose from between Madrid, Lyon and Ajax, could be very tight this one

Group E:
Chelsea, Valencia, Bayer Leverkusen, Genk
Interesting ties with ex-players returning to their old clubs. Chelsea and Valencia to go through

Group F:
Arsenal, Marseille, Olympiakos, Borrusia Dortmund
Potential to be another exciting group. Dortmund and Arsenal to progress

Group G:
FC Porto, Shakhtar Donetsk, Zenit St Petersburg, Apoel
Softest, Boring, Europa Liga agree with previous posts here. Porto to top group then any of the remaining 3

Group H:
Barcelona, AC Milan, Bate, Plzen
No contest really

[Crystal_Ice]

Lyon and Ajax again for Real Madrid. another homecoming season for Benz. another tough group as always.

[asero]

Man City was drawn 5th in pot 3 and only group A and H is available since all others have been filled out while the other unoccupied groups C and E have english teams in it.

Man City is lucky enough to avoid the group of Barca and Milan

[hooney]

I am trying to figure out how to make a PEx Fantasy Football League, Champions League version.

Any suggestions? Would be preferable if we start a test run with this CL season, and see how it works for the FL players.

I have one complex idea in mind, Group Stage to the Final. But it's yeah... complex.
