Two weeks and counting...

With only a fortnight to go until the Champions League is back with us I'm gonna get down to the serious business of starting to swot up before picking the £20k winning team for the TFF competition.

I'm going for three entries into this competition and decided that team No1 would be randomly generated by the TFF computer. Here's the line-up I was presented with...

BLOGGERS UNITED

Petr Cech- Chelsea

Rio Ferdinand- Man U
Eric Abidal- Barcelona
Gokcek Vederson- Fenerbache
Gael Clichy- Arsenal

Michael Carrick- Man U
Arjen Robben- Real Madrid
Massimo Donati- Celtic
Mahamodua Diarra- Real Madrid

Lionel Messi- Barcelona
Emmanuel Adebayor- Arsenal

On first impressions I'm quite impressed by what the TFF boffins have presented me with. There's only two players who are due to meet in the next stages and the majority of them are players with teams I fancy to make the next round anyway.

With Barcelona due to face Celtic, Massimo Donati has to go. Not only is he not getting a regular start with Gordon Strachan's side but I strongly fancy Barca to return to Glasgow, after already facing Rangers' and really go to town with the Scottish Champions.

The other player who may not last the tests of time is Fenerbache's Vederson. Though the Turks kept three clean sheets in qualifying Sevilla will provide a tough test but I may stick with him for the home leg and make a change when the second leg is played.

I'd also like to welcome Mr S Bilsbury who becomes the first player to join my Super League. Don't forget to get your team entered using the log in...
