paokarag4 Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Ah that's cool! I got us with Sevilla, Dinamo Zagreb and Dudelange from Luxembourg. Tricky but I think we'd come through 2nd if that's how it fell

Blackhawk Posted August 31, 2018 Author Posted August 31, 2018 Tough one. Could have been quite easier.
Tahma Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 ChelseaPAOKBATE Borisov Vidi Definitely a tough one.
Bananas Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Really ? Looks like a good group to me. Olympiacos got a tough group with Milan and Betis. I can see many groups I’d rather have avoided. It’s ironic AEK get Benfica and we get Vidi.
BostonThanatos Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Great draw.... We get 2 matches with a big club, and then the other 2 teams we should be able to handle easily... Borisov and Vidi's market value combined is a little over half of ours. Anything is possible but I can't imagine us not finishing 2nd in the group, and maybe with some miracle results against Chelsea even 1st (a longshot though). Is the Group of 32 setup so we know who we play (the 1st or 2nd from which Group) depending on where we place?

No. After GS there is a draw. #2 (+4 drop-outs GS CL with lowest points) meets #1 (+4 drop-outs GS with most points). You can not meet your fellow-GS-club or club from your country. #2 plays at home first. From the last-16 every pairing is possible. But overal satisfied with the draw.
Dutch Eagle Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 For the 2018–19 season, group stage participation in the Europa League awarded a base fee of €2.920,000. A victory in the group pays €570,000 and a draw €190,000. Also, each group winner earns €1,000,000 and each runner-up €500,000. Reaching the knock-out stage triggers additional bonuses: €500,000 for the round of 32, €1,100,000 for the round of 16, €1,500,000 for the quarter-finals and €2,400,000 for the semi-finals. The losing finalists receive €4,500,000 and the champions receive €8,500,000. Preliminary round: €220,000 First qualifying round: €240,000 Second qualifying round: €260,000 Third qualifying round: €280,000 Play-off round elimination: €300,000 Base fee for group stage: €2,920,000 Group match victory: €570,000 Group match draw: €190,000 Group winners: €1,000,000 Group runners-up: €500,000 Round of 32: €500,000 Round of 16: €1,100,000 Quarter-finals: €1,500,000 Semi-finals: €2,400,000 Losing finalist: €4,500,000 Winners: €8,500,000
Yiankos Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 It will really depend on the schedule. It's a good group. Could be easier, but the good think is that Vidi and Bate Borisov should be able to win each other. This way we can take advantage of that and secure 2nd spot. I hope we start with Bate in Toumba and a big win!
Yiankos Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 So, if we do 10 points with three wins and one tie (let's say we lose both games against Chelsea) we will be getting 3X €570,000 and €190,000 = 1,900,000 as the bonus. That would be just one of our top players annual salary plus tax. One win in CL would be 2,700,000.
pash Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Yup. Sucks. I guess we should just pack it all in and stop competing.

pash Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Should be a hell of a match; putting in for some time off now!
Yiankos Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Boston-London is only $350 with Norwegian and direct flight of 6-7 hours. Miami (Fort Lauderdale)-London is $410 with the same airline but 9-10 hours instead. Hmmm, what do you think? Time to watch a PAOK game live? Bad think is right after Thanksgiving break... It will be hard for me to leave at that time. Couldn't it be in the break???
Bananas Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 I wonder if Chelsea will do a Tottenham and bring down a 2nd string team. Need to check their schedule.

DunfermlineAthleticPAOK Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 Perfect fixtures for me. Get married on the Saturday, Chelsea on Thursday and then AEK on Sunday.. My Wife-to-be is going to love this
pash Posted August 31, 2018 Posted August 31, 2018 This is all her fault, she needs to accept the monster she created 1
