Round 1 - thoughts

The draw has been done, what do you make of your opponent?

Leicester will be an extremely difficult opponent, especially if I'm playing away. But these are the games I thrive on so Sydney FC are not going to die wondering, that's for sure.

At home so hopefully will have enough to progress but AZ are unbeaten so it has the makings of a cracker

Round 1
(to be played on Wed 17th Sept)

FC Zenit - Steaua Buchurest

Sevilla - Atalanta

Bristol Rovers - Grasshoppers

Leicester City - Sydney FC

Bordeaux - Boca Juniors

FC Twente - CSKA Sofia

Coventry City - AZ Alkmaar

Sau Paulo - Borussia Dortmund

I wonder how this match will go now Kewell is available for me. I have more reason to be optimistic about my chances for this reason. Can only see how I go

Heres my predictions for this round

FC Zenit - Steaua Buchurest - Tough one, Steauas manager is inexperienced, but has made a good start to AFM and I fancy him to sneak a win here.

Sevilla - Atalanta - Sevilla have on of the strongest sides in AFM, can Andie make it work? Im not sure, draw in my mind.

Bristol Rovers - Grasshoppers - Hmmmm, high scoring draw as a long shot

Leicester City - Sydney FC - Leicester have made a banging start, Sydney havent. Im expecting Sydney to turn a corner here.

Bordeaux - Boca Juniors - Hmmm, Weve all been waiting for Malky to get Boca playing an all out attacking formation and let loose his array of attacking players. We havent seen it yet, if it comes, I can see a lot of goals, if it doesnt, Matias, a real life Boca supporter may get one over his real life team.

FC Twente - CSKA Sofia - Tough one to pick, Harrys a great manager, Steve is tactically inept :-) haha culd be the makings of an excitiing game, but I fancy a bore draw

Coventry City - AZ Alkmaar - Fred has got AZ going on excellent form, cant see John putting a stop to that unlerss he come up trumps with a fantastic set up.

Sau Paulo - Borussia Dortmund - Dortmund will be playing 442N, can James counter that successfully? many managers have failed in the past!

going for the league,cup double

Very good predicted Scott. 0-0

Easy Easy Easy, nice win but I new what tactic I was playing against. haven't let a goal in yet in 4 games + 3 from my youth team, watch me get spanked 4-0 this weekend
