I'm sure they'll represent king and country and do the nation proud.

The Serbian nation?

Ajax vs Brighton will be a game, arguably the tie of the group stages.

[Grinch]

Absolute state of this tournament.

Can he do it on a cold night in Siberia?

Good draw. Austria, Belgium and Toulouse will be nice. Return of Damien Comolli, the legend.

What is Lask ?

[RedHeadedRed]

Union St-Gilloise are owned by the guy who owns Brighton, so no idea how they can compete in the same competition.

The French police is so happy to welcome back Liverpool fans.

 Toulouse is owned by Milan or Inter it took them a while to be allowed to register in the competition.

Dual ownership competing in the same competition, the shitness of modern football.

That's what I make it as.

 

Your 25 man squad can only have 17 non-HG players and 8 who qualify as home grown. Your B team can have as many players as you like as long as they're born on or after 1 January 2002 and since his 15th birthday has been eligible to play for the club concerned for any uninterrupted period of two years, or a total of three consecutive years with a maximum of one loan period.

 

You must also have at least 2 goalkeepers in the squad of 25 and 3 goalkeepers across the A & B team.

 

Doak hasn't been here long enough and is Scottish, while a player like Gravenberch (who qualifies as an U21 player for PL purposes) would have to be registered as part of the 17 for the UEFA cup.

We should be able to comfortably win the group mainly using squad players and youth teamers. 

 

We could save the likes of Mo, VVD, Konate and Ali until the last 16 in March.

 

It should give us a really good crack at finishing very high up in the league.

 

 

Is it not the case you can make changes to your squad after the group stages? I seem to remember Sami being left out of a CL squad for the first half of a season but then playing in the second half. 
 

Could we have the likes of Doak in the squad for the group stage and then strengthen it in the new year? 

[TD_LFC]

If you like that kind of thing Union have quite an interesting story.

Yeah this is what I'd do. The Europa league is the perfect competition to try out Doak. I'd leave Thiago out of the Europa squad and put Doak in ahead of him.

You can make changes between the groups and the knockouts you can also sign players who've previously played (Gakpo for example)

 

If you win the group you also miss the first knockout round I think so one less round for us to play if we do it.
