Coentrao Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 On both the Champions League and the Europa League there aren't any seedings on the first knockout round after the group stage while IRL the first placed team from the groups are seeds in the draw, anyone else noticed this or it's just in my game?

sporadicsmiles Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I havent noticed tbh, I just assumed it worked. Is it not just the case that winners play runners up, as opposed to being seeded? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trekkie_ram Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Admittedly I'm using FM10, but I've checked to confirm that it works correctly on 10.3, and it does. I can't imagine that code being altered for FM11. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coentrao Posted March 22, 2011 Author Share Posted March 22, 2011 Well it's probably my mistake then but since the draw shows as a free for all draw i was assuming it was the case. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RBKalle Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 I've never paid attention to that but I'm sure the game takes care of that 1st vs 2nd rule in drawing. Technically I'm quite sure UEFA don't call it "seeding" anymore... Seeding is just used for Qualifiers and Group Stages. Also because club coefficients don't play a role in Knockout stages, as it's the Group Stage ranking that makes it. So you can have a Top Seeded club being runner-up to a Pot 3 club topping the group, thus having an Unseeded club "seeded"... (I hope it makes sense) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I hope it makes sense) I know that coefficients don't play a part on that draw.. maybe seedings wasn't the best word for it but english is not my first language. I just meant to ask if it splits the first placed teams from the second placed teams apparently it does though it doesn't say that in-game which lead me to think it was a free-for-all draw.

BML Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 Although it doesn't say so in-game, and the 'drawing' teams seem to be in no particular order, in my last 3 first round games I have always played a team that was runner up in another group and isn't from my country. It's a small sample size, I agree, but pretty conclusive from my own experiences. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaratekid Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 From my experience as well. Also, group winners always play away in the 1st leg, and home in the 2nd, like IRL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
L-Wiz Posted March 22, 2011 Share Posted March 22, 2011 was playing 11.3 last nite and it worked perfectly... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivu Posted March 23, 2011 Share Posted March 23, 2011 Seems to be okay in 11.3. In ko stages the table toppers will get away draw in first leg against a second placed team. Have not noticed any deviations from that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
