Champions League: Info, groups, tables & banter thread

[TJR]

Hello and welcome to the Champions League. Please use this thread to discuss all things Champions League rather than using the gameweek threads for discussion Get the banter and rivalries going lads! You will also find the OP of this thread being updated constantly with the most recent version of the group tables.

The format:
All 23 predictors will enter the group stage of this competition. There will be 5 groups of 4 and 1 group of 3. Everyone will play each other once in each group. The top 2 from each group will progress to the last 16. The 4 best preforming predictors (based on GF) who didn't finish in the top 2 of a group will also progress to the last 16. From there onwards the competition follows a knockout format. This competitions will use Champions League, Europa League and International fixtures.

OP updated with table after 1st round of fixtures

[TJR]

Nice 5-4 win for me tonight! Thats revenge for the league B4E!

Tonights victory coupled with my 5-0 win last week means I've qualified for the knock out stages

[TJR]

OP updated with the tables after the first and second rounds of fixtures. There is only one game week of the group stages left now and with some groups being rather tight I'd advise you to remember to predict. Also if you are yet to predict so far in the competition make sure you do this time round otherwise you lose the 4 ranking points everyone gets just for being in the group stage.
