2016 TFFE Champions League game

[kingcurtley]

Website was very, very slow after team news yesterday for me. Not sure why they didn't make it unlimited transfers from Last 16 to Last 8, instead of 11. Would have staggered the traffic.

[robot]

I found the website fine last night, doing quite a few teams but yes agree a bit pointless having 11 changes when it might as well be unlimited.

[wizardoffire]

grr no James or Carvajal

Real Madrid team to play Wolfsburg: Navas, Danilo, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo, Casemiro, Modric, Kroos, Bale, Ronaldo, Benzema.

Man. City: Hart, Sagna, Otamendi, Mangala, Clichy, Fernando, Fernandinho, Navas, Silva, De Bruyne, Aguero.

PSG XI: Trapp; Aurier, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Maxwell; Rabiot, Motta, Matuidi; Di María, Ibrahimovic, Cavani

Aurier back in from the cold then as well

Wolfsburg team to play Real Madrid: Benaglio. Vieirinha, Draxler, Henrique, Schürrle, Dante, Gustavo, Guilavogui, Naldo, Arnold, Rodriguez.

[Maldini]

Don't see any clean sheets in these two ties so think I'm going to stick with my Barca /Bayern defences.


Cue four nil-nil games and penalties.

[wizardoffire]

I think Madrid will blank Wolfsburg maybe 2 or 3-0, expecting a 1-1/2-1 result for PSG Man City

[wizardoffire]

I think Madrid will blank Wolfsburg maybe 2 or 3-0, expecting a 1-1/2-1 result for PSG Man City

and the above is why I dont bet nor why I do well in fantasy comps

[Maldini]

A Real Madrid goal (preferably Kroos setting up Ronaldo) and I'm a happy man.

[wizardoffire]

A Real Madrid goal (preferably Kroos setting up Ronaldo) and I'm a happy man.

I really expected Madrid to score a couple hence my teams and my prediction still time but running out >.<

[ronny10]

i have de bruyne and rabiot but everyone else a let down, but I suppose unless you are on the wolfsburg defence I imagine most of us struggled tonight

[wizardoffire]

I think City will go through to the semis
Wolfsburg v Madrid I have no idea who goes through but should expect Real to turn it around
Bayern v Benfica Bayern all day for me
A.Madrid v Barca Barca should be capable of doing enough

roll on next week

[ronny10]

Its not impossible that all the 'underdogs' could go through based on the first legs.

City surely have a great chance now
wolfsberg could easily score an away goal leaving madrid needing 4
athletico could call themselves unlucky last night could and probably should have scored 2
benfica away is tough for any team but you would fancy bayern to score

out of the 4 games bayern probably the only one i would be confident about

so the channel that broadcasts the champions league over here styles themselves as the home of the champions league
over all their channels not one channel has the bayern madrid game

Final, 19:45 BST on Sat 28 May: Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid

[robot]

I'm out of it went all out the Bayern route) good luck to those about to overtake me.

[Maldini]

Snap.

[Ashers]

I will have eleven playing in the final, mix of both teams though.

Enjoyed this competition and hopefully have taken some lessons away for Euro 2016.

[robot]

Well done Ashers looks like it's all yours then, fine lines between success and failure,if I'd gone athletico would of ended with a very decent score.In these games if you dont commit to a team near the end and they clean sheet you have no chance so has to be all or nothing IMO.

I agree and I will be hoping for both teams to score with my front six bagging the goals

[Maldini]

You need it to be nil-nil and it go to penalties.

[SamD]

Final line-up:

REAL MADRID
Starting XI: Navas, Carvajal, Pepe, Ramos, Marcelo,
Casemiro, Modric, Kroos, Bale, Ronaldo, Benzema

Subs: Casilla, Nacho, James Rodriguez, Lucas Vazquez, Jese, Isco, Danilo

ATLETICO MADRID

Starting XI: Oblak, Juanfran, Savic, Godin, Filipe Luis,
Saul, Gabi, Augusto, Koke, Griezmann, Torres

Subs: Moya, Mendes, Correa, Gomez, Carrasco, Thomas, Gimenez

[Ashers]

Final changes made to my team to ensure I have 11 starters.

[robot]

You've got a good chance of a decent overall position as well as almost certainly wonning this, good luck.
