vincenzo incendio Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 What is the toughest group draw you have had? I'm in the 2011/2012 season of my Man United game, I'm 3 time Champions League winner and got a first seed. The second seed in my group is Ajax. The third seed in my group is Juventus and the fourth seed is Rangers. The interesting thing is, Juventus is a three seed, but I don't understand how. They have won the Serie A the last two seasons and they made it to the first knockout round in the last Champions League. So what gives???? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bardia Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Man United being a fourth seed is harder to understand than Juve being a third seed. Imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincenzo incendio Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 Man United being a fourth seed is harder to understand than Juve being a third seed. Imo. No, Manchester United is a first seed. I think they are listed in the standings alphabetically. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Kreman Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Ajax and Rangers shouldn't be any problem at all. I would hardly call that a goup of death! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezathon Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 I'm a Rangers fan and well they are pretty poor in the game , not that they are amazing irl. I am currently Gers in my game, and I got into the CL I have Arsenal, Bayern and Galatasary now thats a bloody tough group!!! SPL wise my God I am doing bad... I have played this game for years and this is one of the worst starts ever, 4 games 2 points. Confidence isn't exactly high! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avelives Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 When you said group of death i was thinking of the following sorts of teams. Man Utd/Chelsea/Liverpool Madrid/Barcelona Ac Milan/Inter Milan Bayern Munich/or a selection of decent French teams Ajax and Juve never entered my head, and Rangers?!? Please do me a favour you are Man Utd!! lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brunob Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 You should be able to beat every single one of those clubs by at least 2 goal differential Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nomis07 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 At FC Bayern I got Inter, Lyon and Sevilla in the same group The following season I got Shaktar, Celtic and Newcastle, which was slightly easier Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike7077 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 On FM08, as Man Utd, I kept getting Valencia in my group. That was pretty annoying. I did win 6-0 at their place on one occasion, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nomis07 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Were they like your Liverpool-Chelsea/Man Utd-Juventus? Over the years i've built up a few overseas rivalries with teams from the CL, I got Roma in the QF's three years in a row and ended up having a lengthy slanging match with Spaletti.

Ozzy38 Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Group of Deaths definitely come from International qualifying groups. Unless it's been fixed, the seedings of the international teams don't change. So you could end up with a 6 team group where 5 can win, one was a World Cup/Euro finalist a month ago, the other a quarter finalist etc. and the 6th team being the obligatory whipping boys.

vincenzo incendio Posted November 20, 2008 Author Share Posted November 20, 2008 They are listed in the order they were drawn. Ajax must have been fourth seeds and Juventus second seeds. I'm positive Juventus was a third seed and Ajax was a second seed. Here are the coefficients: United: 154.84 (1 seed) Ajax: 104.93 (2 seed) Juventus: 66.55 (3 seed) Rangers: 44.24 (4 seed) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uh, I always get Lyonnais. I was getting so sick of playing them. 08/09: same group 09/10: same group 10/11: same group, and then met in the quarterfinal I was tempted to buy Fred just so I never had to play against him again.
