As many of you have already noticed, the official UEFA Champions League Fantasy game is now up and running. With Matchday 1 still 10 days away, the current break in domestic action gives us the perfect excuse to start assessing the fixtures and assembling our 15-man squads before the big kick-off:

Matchday 1 gets underway on Tuesday September 18 and the first night’s action hands City a trip to the Bernabeu to face Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid, while Arsenal are also on the travels, with Olivier Giroud returning to face his previous employers, Montpellier. Chelsea get their defence up and running the following evening with a home clash against Juventus, while United welcome Galatasaray to Old Trafford.

Once again, we shall be offering coverage across the Matchdays for those in the community who plan on participating. At the moment, we’re also considering the possibility of running with another Champions League game in conjunction but for now, here’s the official Scout League code for the UEFA Fantasy game:

191091-421065

Myself and Andy are currently sorting out a schedule and are planning to roll out an article focussing on the Player Price List over the next few days or so. Keep ‘em peeled for more.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

      I tend to like using my WC in the last couple of group games where you can get players like Pedro in, who start and are very cheap for the returns they get.

      I don't think Fergie is taking any risks this time. He should get some game time in the group stages but can't see him playing regularly. Fergie uses him more like an impact sub.

    Is now the time to dump Tevez?

    Im not going to gain anymore price rise when he goes up again this game week, Aguero and Ballotelli look like challenging for places again against Stoke, I cant have Torres, Tevez and RVP and the Champions League is the tuesday after - Mancini was a bit of a git with his rotation this time last year.

    Speaking of playing Hernandez, I think United should try up a new formation in Cup games or easy CL games. Something like 3-2-4-1.
    Ideal lineup will look something like this.

    DDG
    Ferdi Vidic Evans
    Carrick Scholes/Cleverley
    Valencia Kagawa Rooney Nani/Young
    RVP

    Well, our full backs are useless anyway and this formation could give us serious stability in the midfield which we totally lack for now and having 3 committed defenders should also improve our defense. Ideas?

      I don't know about some of your picks but that's just because of my lack of knowledge. I don't think McGeady is a good pick and you have spent too much on defence, I would use it to upgrade your midfield.
