Group of Death


Recommended Posts

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????

Man United being a fourth seed is harder to understand than Juve being a third seed. Imo.

"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."

And that is a pretty challenging group there.

Good luck!

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!

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

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.

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.

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. :D
