Yeah :D

Doesn't the game normally start at the KO rounds only or has it always been Group Stages?

Champions League game

More info eked out today:

As a TFF Europe manager you'll have some tough decisions to make. You'll get 20 transfers to use during the Group Stages, an amnesty once they're completed, then a further 20 to use during the knockouts.

Found this today:

Telegraph Fantasy Football Europe is back this season, starting from the Group Stage for the very first time.

This year, there's £10,000 up for grabs plus even more cash prizes in our TFF Europe Elite Leagues.

All you have to do is beat 15 other managers to win a big cash prize. Select the entry fee you feel most comfortable with from £5, £10 or £20. The higher the entry fee, the bigger the prizes on offer, and the manager with the most points at the end of the season wins:

£5 entry fee: £70
£10 entry fee: £140
£20 entry fee: £280
You can join as many Elite Leagues as you like.

Each manager can only compete in an individual Elite Leagues once so, for example, after you join a £5 Elite League you must wait until it fills before you join another £5 Elite League – but you can be in the queue for one of each type of Elite League at any one time.

Once a league fills you will be able to view the table for that league. The Season Points (i.e. points scored from the start of the Group Stage) for each team will be used, regardless of when the Elite League fills.

Why haven't they launched this yet? I deal time with everyone twiddling their thumbs waiting for the weekend. Less than a week away now.

TFFE Champions League delay

Post by SamD »

Agreed, which is why administering a cash prize league is impossible with just seven days to first group fixture.

Shall therefore chair a free-to-play Two-Footed SL this time, with a small prize.

On past form, the TFF World Cup game next June should launch 16 days before the opening match. So the cash league will return then.

In the meantime, here's today's Telegraph guide to Champions League forwards:

Just looked at Liverpool to see if Clyne is listed (no) and noticed that Trent Alexander-Armstrong is listed as a DEFENDER in this.

Sam - As I know you favour post replies over PM replies I'm posting what would normally be a PM. Thanks for the invite but I don't play, and won't be playing, TFFE, as checking team line ups mid-week evenings is a pain.

The passcode isn't showing on the Message Board of the TFF Premier League SL. Probably due to late joining it.
