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

    We have Mackie, McCormack, Maloney and Rhodes on the bench.

    Kenny Miller on his own up front doesn't work. Great work rate but very little composure or ability. We need someone alongside him to make use of the work he does otherwise it's pointless.

          It was ok before because we had a half decent defence and no options going forward. Now it's the other way around, defence is a bit of a shambles, a heap of wide and attacking options playing at a good level. Show too many teams respect. Serbia are there for the taking if we showed a bit of ambition

      Nasri is good value but with their group I think I prefer Pirlo or Schweinsteiger.

      Kerzhakov is a great player until it comes to finishing and I think Hulk might be the main protagonist for Zenit.

      Mandzukic or Pazzini if you can find £1m from somewhere.

        Then you'll be at the bottom of a bottom 7 league! Can't get lower than that...

      I wouldn't have Bale in WC team for a start. And another Spurs midfielder in Dembele who scores very few. I would spend a bit more time on your midfield.

      Front 3 is ideal.

      I like it - gonna be sooooo tough! does it matter how far the teams go into the competition? How do the transfers work... No english sides represented though? I think United will get some big results...

      C, mainly because Clyne and Barnett are terrible choices.

      Bit boring in terms of getting points. Not a huge impact player in FF these days and Modric/Ozil will share the group games imo.

      He could be but there are 3 strikers ahead of him, so mostly he is the assister of the assister.

      I wouldn't in the Euros he was poor - but even so always seemed to have the second last pass if that makes sense...
