I have backed Chelsea, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich to win tonight. Just a small wager. And I've added West Brom from the Championship, for a home win.
Good job - I love seeing them come in!! What sort of odds did you get? Make sure that you post all future tips.
Chelsea, I think the will do well this year. Could well get to the Semi's. I just think in the big games they lack a bit of width. Drogba will certainly be key or you.
I noticed Joe Cole warming up tonight which was fantastic to see... though I do agree Ancelotti's diamond does lack width and I have to wonder where Joe will fit in?
As far as I can work out our midfield options include: Lampard, Essien, Ballack, Deco, Mikel, Malouda, Cole J and Zhirkov. Almost a whole team there! I’d personally like to see five in midfield with Drogba alone in attack.
Regarding fantasy football, I am currently 1522 in the Telegraph's fantasy football - out of about 190,000. Just thought I would put that in - it's not often I do that well. (And I have two West Ham defenders in my team. Steve Clarke has certainly made a difference to our defence.)
One thing I’ve learnt about Fantasy Football is that if you’re doing well, it’s your duty to let everyone know – it would almost be rude not to! Unfortunately my sister employs a similar philosophy and last year she was in the top five hundred on the FPL site (out of around 2 million), beating all my friends, family and everyone on this site. Not fun.
Steve Clarke was a huge loss to Chelsea and I think he and Zola have done a solid job so far with West Ham. I’ve actually had Carlton Cole in my team this season; I remember seeing him as a youth at Chelsea and thought he had a lot of potential. What are your thoughts for the weekend? If you could kick Liverpool while they're down that would be fantastic.

Such draft systems would only work in closed leagues.
