Banterous back 4. This is gonna be tough.
 
Czech Republic and Croatia in the same group as Turkey. Shades of Euro 2008 right there. :D I'm getting kinda sick of playing Czechs and Croats all the time, would like to have some variety. Played both in Euro 2008, played Croatia in Euro 2012 Playoffs, played Czech Republic in the qualifiers for this one, will play Croatia for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.

Group E is easily the best one with Belgium, Italy, Ireland and Sweden.

Barring a fixture clash, my picks for the Top 4 are Germany, France, Belgium and Spain. I got 3/4 of the World Cup Top 4 a year before it was played (had Spain instead of Netherlands), let's see how this one plays out.
 
FML. I think it's virtually impossible for all 3 of my favorite teams to perform well at the same time.

Man Utd is in a big slump. I've been defending LVG for a while, but if there's a chance to get Ancelotti or Pep... I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Milan mediocre as fuck, couldn't beat Hellas Verona who are yet to win a single game this season.

HOWEVER... Red Star is having one of their best seasons ever. Unbeaten in the league with 18 victories in a row (19-2-0 this season), with 22 points more than the 2nd placed team and 26 more than Partizan. However, they are in debt up to their necks, so it's a miracle how the club still exists.
 
Mahrez/Vardy duo is on fire. No doubt the best duo in EPL right now, probably Top 5 in the world with some Barcelona/Bayern/Dortmund duos.
 
I'm still not quite sold on Jamie Vardy, he's talented but I don't think he keeps it consistent in the upcoming seasons. Riyad Mahrez, on the other hand, is an immense talent.
 
Mourinho has been sacked! I can't find it on Chelsea's twitter/FB/website, but everywhere else it's already a done deal :o And Juande Ramos who led Tottenham to their worse EPL start ever (2 points in first 8 games) is rumoured to be his replacement.
 
Lots of rumours about Rooney lately, but apparently newspapers' can't report it because his lawyers are locked and loaded to sue for libel. Rumours include him showing up drunk for training, being treated for clinical depression or tiredness of football altogether. Or all 3.
