Martins Irish team of little superstars

No little superstars here Iain! I have a few very good players in Stekelenburg, Felipe, Isla, Marcelo, Pjanic, Di Maria, Cisse, Liedson and Farfan. The rest of a a thin and small squad is made up of young(ish) and promising players.

European Group for me is

Leicester
Dundee
Sampdoria
Dinamo Moscow


oh joy.

Champions Cup Group 4

AC Milan
Dortmund
Lille
Spartak

stutgart
paris
prague
juventus

not a chance!!!!

champs league

Am I the only manager on the forum who isnt in Europe this season?

sampdoria? maybe i am good enough then. rich do you mind if i ask paul to take my six quid and i'll replace sampers?

Not such a bad thing Matt, I'm really struggling to pick two teams this week without tiring out a lot of them.

You might be better off....

I was tempted but the League has to be my priority so I'd only be throwing my very shit reserves into Europe.

Might turn out to be a very wise decision....

Lee you have that group. Stutgart have been raped of thier better players over the past few seasons. Bohemians thumped Paris in a pre-season friendly (although they should get better as they are now personality managed bt Lillian Thuram). And unless Prague have improved dramatically over the last couple of seasons they are nothing special.

Stuttgart might be harder than you think, with 3 players at 9999, 3 at 9997 and 5 at 9797, it seems Klinsmann might be rebuilding them into a decent side.

They always seem to cause me problems in the german league.....

I had not realised that stuttgart had been re-built, the last time I looked at them I took thier best player Jeronimo Cacau for Lazio when I still gave a shit about them. Although in hindsight I do remember Paul stating that all of the European teams would become personality managed.

Napoli, Ajax and Benfica for me. No idea whether any of them are any good. Guess I'll go with the flow.

Benfica have Elano now dont they, with Mourinho at the helm. Cant be too bad.

...and David Luiz at the back

Napoli have a few decent players, cesar delgado, tiago neves among their ranks but you should beat them really dan

Benfica also have Loic Remy

he's on trial at newcastle i think

i swapped him for Bebe this turn just gone, so mark must have been lightening quick

to get him.......although that does sound like mark

he doesnt miss a trick that boy

ELANO! Grrrrr, I thought I'd seen the back of him!

Napoli has Fred up front, yet another 99-rated Brazilian. There are 7 97-rated players in their squad too so pretty decent.

Napoli have Maradona in charge. So I'm taking on Mourinho, Maradona and AN Other manager. It's a petty tough group by the sounds of things.

Not guilty! I don't have him....... looks like I do miss a trick

Just looked at the trialist list and I don't see him anywhere.

i cant imagine that anyone in england would have gone for him now anyhow as hes litteraly just signed a 5 year contract with Marseille
