Hello and a very happy New Year to you all. After a long break filled with festivities, it is time to welcome back the FFS UEFA Champions League community tournment. This week we find out who will face off against each other in the knock out stages of the tournament. The draw can be found here.

This round seems stacked with big names pitted against one another.

In the top half of the draw, HVT is paired up against TLK42 and will be one to watch whilst Zombie looks to continue his undefeated streak against Irish Madridista. Elsewhere in the bottom half of the draw, Saniul squares off against Aliminator whilst Lucy and Numb both have their work cut out if they want to get through to the next round.

The fixtures will take place in two legs just like the Champions League tournament and the team with the highest aggregate score after these two games will proceed to the next round. There will be another article closer to the dates which will explain the fixtures in more detail.

Hope you have all enjoyed the tournament so far! Let us know what you think of the pairings in the comments below.

    Delighted to be taking part, but I was hoping to avoid the undead man in form!

      You must've seen an out of date draw. You can't be paired with someone in the same group as you!

            Its always fun to eliminate someone associated with Real Madrid...

            You can call me Portuguese Barcelonista!

            Good Luck mate 🙂

    Yay. The only tournament I'm still left in. Are you running the dead team challenge? It hasn't updated for a few weeks.

      Nope, I believe that's OC Prodigy 🙂

    Just one question regarding the draw. HVT and I were in the same group. If we win our matches we're due to play each other in the next round. Aren't teams from the same group supposed to avoid each other until the final? A simplified version is below

    Winner A v Runner up B
    WinnerC v Runner up D

    Winner B v Runner up A
    Winner D v Runner up C

    This way you only meet each other again in the final. Am I taking this too seriously 😆

      I was following the official UEFA Champions League regulations which state in article 18.01 that

      The round of 16 pairings are determined by means of a draw in accordance with
      the following principles:
      a. Clubs from the same association cannot be drawn against each other.
      b. Group winners must be drawn against runners-up from a different group.
      c. The runners-up play the first leg at home.

      Only point B applies here really.

        Point C does apply also as you may get a draw after 2 legs and away points can decide the winner. There were quite a few draws in the group stages

        I was thinking about you staying in the tournament longer. Oh well, at least you'll lose to the winner 😉

          Before you attempt to beat the odds, be sure you could survive the odds beating you!

    Thanks Jaffa. Looking forward to an away leg first up! Will set up to take a draw and then go for the win in the home leg 😉

    Anyone has an idea which teams have a favourable schedule for the second half of the season? Can imagine Manchester City will face a less easy schedule relative to the one of the first 20 GWs. Similarly Everton could having a better one...
