Didn't Man Utd get relegated last year? Has-beens! Need to revise your statement to 2 European heavyweights and Man United ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintRam Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 Each group has an English team from Premier League 2 Division 1, and Division 2 (except for D & E, where both teams are division 1) - and two invited "equivalent " European teams. While you'd expect PSG to have an expensive youth set-up, and PSV to have a decent team being dutch (probably both, in truth, superior to Derby's), they both play outside the structure of PL2 (obviously) so Derby are technically the "top seed" of Group F. 2 hours ago, TigerTedd said: How did Norwich find themselves in that company? I'm not sure what determines who is included in this competition. Was there a qualification phase I didn't notice? There are 4 Division 1 teams not involved (Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City and Blackburn) in the group stage, and 8 Division 2 teams not involved. Maybe it's just offering a place to all Division 1 teams, then if any decline they offer them to Division 2 teams based on how they finished last season? Not a clue.
