beermatt1981 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Hi all. Currently playing as West Ham in the Champions League. Unfortunatly I have only finished third, despite being on the same points and better +goal difference then the second place team 1st Barcelona GD +11 Pts 15 2nd SLB GD +1 Pts 10 3rd WHUFC GD +8 Pts 10 4th Olympiakos GD -20 Pts 0 Interestingly after the 5th match was complete, the game decided I had not qualified. On the last match I smashed Olympiakos 6-0 and SLB lost to barca 3-0. Unless I am missing something this must be a bug? :confused: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erimus1876 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Its your head to head against SLB that counts when points are the same. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dafuge Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 The first decider for Champions League groups standings are the results between the teams concerned, rather than goal difference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 As Erimus has said above when teams are level it goes down to head to head record, it tells you this in the competition rules. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niebiescy Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Also goal difference counts on the H2H if you are tied to be very careful not to attack too much if you are one down to a team of similar ability because it could kill you. I've gone out of Europe twice because of this H2H goal difference. It's a manager's worst nightmare. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
beermatt1981 Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Thank you for all your replies and for clearing this up. I did draw and lose to this team so guess my standing is correct. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
