I dont think it is, there will need to be all kinds of organising as some clubs cant play at home same day as others, trying to fit tv schedules etc.

What on earth happened up there with your quoting 😅

😂 Somehow I ended up with your comment replicated about 4 times ! Had to mess around to try and remove them ! Yeah, you're probably correct about scheduling. Was that list the order in which they were drawn out ??

Last season required 16 points to guarantee top eight spot. Six points and best goal difference was enough to secure a play=off match.

No it was 11 points to qualify for the play off round hence a minimum of 12 points to guarantee post Xmas European football

We've got Bayern Munich away first game .

Very doable. The Nov games are the toughest imo. Palmer should be available for the Bayern game

Ran a simulator for our knock out games and route to the final

Ro16 - Chelsea vs Newcastle
QF - Chelsea vs Liverpool (or Atletico Madrid)
SF - Chelsea vs Bayern (or Real Madrid)

I'd take that!

We could end up with PSG in the Ro16 though, 50/50 chance (assuming both overcome Monaco/Qarabag).

There is also a chance we could face Tottenham in the Quarter finals.
