Well, despite loosing these players Steaua is still a strong team. I think the chances are 60/40 for Steaua.Don't worry that much, just use Cosmin Moti and Ludo will defeat Steaua, they're not a great team, as I said, they lost many players in the past transfer windows, they did well just to replace the goalkeeper, but else, they are extremely weakened ( lost both DM, lost strikers, lost best central defender ).
Their biggest advantage is European continuity because they are the only team from Romania that invested in the squad and bump wages to keep players, as their squad has numerous new players with no experience, they are kinda losing it and starting over. Now as their owner and manager are in jail, they can only buy out of what they sell.

Ludogorets have little european experience...
When is the draw for the group stages? I'm praying for us to draw Benfica so I can see the game in my city.

What do you think about Ludogorets ? They have a lot of brazilian players like Marcelinho - team's best player.
