OK... Same set-up as last time. 1 week of games per day (unless otherwise noted). Drop messages in here if you want to change line-ups or tactics. If I don't hear from you about replacing an injured man, I'll just make my best guess. The league table will be in this first post and I'll update it every 3 games or so. I'll update stats in the body of the thread with all the game updates (probably also every 3 games or so) Team (handle) GP W D L GD Pts Bayer Leverkusen (gaknight) 17 10 5 2 10 35 AC Milan (ksim14) 17 10 3 4 13 33 Chelsea (clemsontyger04) 17 7 10 0 10 31 Stoke City (delapthrows) 17 9 3 5 6 30 Juventus (514) 17 7 5 5 5 26 Werder Bremen (sbtide) 17 5 10 2 7 25 Swansea (gunners) 17 6 7 4 2 25 Borussia Dortmund (prerecordedlive) 17 5 8 4 7 23 Ajax (tne) 17 5 4 8 -8 19 Anzhi (ochosissoko) 17 4 6 7 -9 18 Tijuana (perroh) 16 3 7 6 -3 16 Brighton (topper bottoms) 16 3 7 6 -4 16 PSV (broxcore) 16 3 6 7 -2 15 Manchester United (nole4life34) 17 3 5 9 -7 14 Philadelphia Union (zeberdee) 17 1 4 12 -27 7
