In a Champions League group, three teams were on 10 points after the 6 games played each.
Team A had beaten Team B home and away
Team B had beaten Team C home and away
Team C had beatn Team A home and away

So, just like it was so widely explained with liverpool in their group this year, they would go through on goal difference if the teams had the same points as the situation was similar to the one I had described. Yet in FM Team A and B went through, both who had a GD of +1, and Team C had a GD of +2. Surely Team C should go through??

this is a long shot but what about GD from the head to head results? I've never been sure whether head to head just takes points into account or GD as well.

What were the results exactly between those three teams?

I think away goals counted too.

From UEFA.com

6.05 If two or more teams are equal on points on completion of the group
matches, the following criteria are applied to determine the rankings:
a) higher number of points obtained in the group matches played among the
teams in question;
b) superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams
in question;
c) higher number of goals scored away from home in the group matches
played among the teams in question;
d) superior goal difference from all group matches played;
e) higher number of goals scored;
f) higher number of coefficient points accumulated by the club in question,
as well as its association, over the previous five seasons (see paragraph
8.02).

As you can see, overall goal difference comes before goals scored in the head to head matches.

I'll try get some screenshots up in a minute.

No it doesn't.

b) superior goal difference from the group matches played among the teams
in question;

That's the goal difference between teams A, B and C from the matches played against each other.

d) superior goal difference from all group matches played;

That's the overall goal difference. B comes before D.

A nice simple way to think of it is to remove the matches involving the team who were bottom, then rewrite the table.
