Bayern Munich vs Athletico Madrid
The Bayern team is hard to criticise, in Robben and Reus they have top class wingers. Athletico did their best to deal with the threat and I can see their full backs matching them for pace but the wingers will win at least once or twice and arguably that is enough. I'd prefer Schweinsteiger joining Alonso in protecting the defense rather than trying to rough them up, and Hummels would obviously improver their defense. As for Athletico, Toprak and Alderweireld are decent defenders but would struggle against Costa I fear, I also think Xavi is over the hill. I can see them making it difficult for Bayern to play, and Ibarbo could have some joy against Benatia (although he isn't the slowest CB in the world).
On balance, Bayern just about edge it, probably from a moment of class from one of the wingers.
Bayern Munich 1-0 Athletico Madrid
Reus (83)
MOTM: Pjanic

Chelsea vs Arsenal
Chelsea correctly predicted Welbeck to play upfront, and told Terry and Ramos to both get tight to him which I thought was an interesting tactic, given his electric pace. I also think Koke is more left sided so should be swapped over with Fabregas, just a minor point. Overall, I prefer the Arsenal CM trio to the Chelsea trio, but Muller and Sanchez are both classy players who would create and have moments of brilliance, I particularly think that the Arsenal defense is a bit average and would struggle to keep out the front three for the 90. Cahill apart, the Chelsea bench looks like it needs improving.
It's a difficult game as both teams have aspects I like and think one would get the advantage. On that basis, I have to give a draw.
Chelsea 1-1 Arsenal
Muller (42); Marchisio (55)
MOTM: Alexis Sanchez

Dortmund vs Real Madrid
I think Dortmund have probably set up about as well as they could have done against Real Madrid, looking to defend and counter. I can see the three in the Dortmund midfield making if very difficult for them to play. Real Madrid have obviously missed Aguero and Kroos, I don't really see Mascherano as a DM and obviously Ronaldo is better when allowed to roam a bit more as a winger, but is obviously a capable top drawer striker who will beat Subotic a couple of times.
Real Madrid have the better side, there's no question. But, I cannot see what more Dortmund could have done tactically and I can see them being a threat on the counter so get a well deserved draw.
Dortmund 2-2 Real Madrid
Tevez (16, 70); Ronaldo (27), Boateng (50)

Juventus vs PSG
Thiago Silva is probably the best centre back in the world, but the rest of the defense is average for me. PSG and Juventus have both gone for the deeper defensive line and that hurts Juventus more who have the pace and want to get in behind wheras I can see Cavani and Ibrahimovic doing more to get through. Busquets and Matuidi being put up against the Juventus midfield was a brave call, but they are capable, and getting the full backs and wingers forward to create 2 on 1 also helped against Evra and Clyne.
A well deserved win for PSG, while Juventus were good tactically I just feel that PSG were better and predicted more of what Juventus would do and countered it. An excellent win against a good Juventus side.
Juventus 1-3 PSG
Neymar (12); Cavani (33, 82); Ibrahimovic (45+3)

Man City vs Porto
Kompany is a big loss at the back for Man City, de Vrij is not the man to be marshalling a defense, and Mangala I don't like personally. I also think Silva is misused by City especially when he was told to attack from the flanks, whereas I prefer him given freedom to roam in the final third. I can see Porto stopping everything through the middle which forces City to look out wide, to their two best players in Bale and Silva and it is suicidal not to play full backs against those two. Kolarov and Alex Sandro playing in place of Brahimi and Toni, parking the bus and hitting them on the counter (Ribery roaming behind Morata) and I'd have given Porto the win.
Porto make it difficult for City and it seems all will work, but you can't tell a RCB/LCB to come across. It must be recognised where City's strengths are and it isn't. Morata would get a sneaky goal but City win.
Man City 2-1 Porto
Bale (22), Martinez (49); Morata (3)

Called it Hero. You owe me £5.

Trebs couldn't give his BFF Viva a loss even against Ronaldo, Iniesta and Hazard. Even when I played Mascherano (the DM for Argentina and everywhere else he's played except for Barca) ahead of a back four like I did.

Not crying foul play, just my opinion that it should have been a near walkover despite missing Aguero and Kroos.

In Treb's defence, I don't think it looks anywhere near a walkover for Real.

I would have probably gone for a Real win, but only just, and can understand the draw.

Tough but winnable game against Dortmund, they have some world class players in their side,

Then you say it should have been a walkover.

Laugh Laugh Laugh Laugh

You should show more respect to my Dortmund side, despite you writing 5 trillion words and smashing the word count limit you couldn't pull out the win. Sometimes you've got to put your hands up and say the better manager won.

Results
In this league we have one spin of the Fruity http://classtools.net/education-games-php/fruit_machine
Slot split:
There are 10 win slots per match to be split between the 2 sides however the result doer sees fit.
There are no limit to draw slots but common sense has to be applied
In addition to the win slots the home team has an extra slot added to their tally for home advantage so there should be 11 possible winning slots.
When results are published the slot split should also be released for the benefit of feedback'

Tbf I was keen to hand my team over so me staying on wasn't really an option. It was a choice of CF or no manager.

Just happens, with hindsight (or not), no manager was the better choice

As long as its a legit loss I wouldn't mind so much.

I genuinely PM'd Hero last week betting him £5 Trebs wouldn't give me the win over Viva. Maybe Trebs was honest and felt Viva deserved a draw, but as there's been previous regarding those two voting for each other I'm allowed to be a little skeptical.

Marky just because you have the Galactico team, with some Galactico players, doesn't mean you should be walking over teams. Real have been beaten by much smaller teams than Dortmund in recent times, mainly due to their tactics. If you want to point the finger at someone, maybe start with yourself? Had you got your tactics right it may well have been the walkover you expected. Instead, you underestimated the underdog. I'd never do that Whistle

Also when Nando accused me and Mighty of voting for each other I let that slide, instead of making rubbish up and look at the facts and you'd have known that I never voted for Mighty as manager of the week.

I'd say more balanced as well. This has been fun but who will people be buying from TPs in next season's transfer window? We started off with most of the world's top players already in the league.

I'd go for Championship teams, but make money more generous.

Calm down. I never used the word cheat. But it's a common opinion that you and Trebs have voted for each other in the past, as well as giving each other manager of the week when that was in action. Whether true or not, it's a common opinion.
