| Because of the group stage in UEFA-cup there are now 2 games more than in CL, I think. So it is possible better for the coefficient, to play in UEFA than in CL. And the opponenents are not so highlevelled. In my opinion this is not fair. What do you think? |

| Yes, this has been discussed before.
It's a valid point.
UEFA now award 3 points to the ECL group stage qualifiers and 1 point to the round 2 qualifiers, which helps a little.
Assuming you average 1 win and 1 draw in each two games
Winning the ECL
Group stage qualifying - 3 pts Round 1 - 9 pts, plus 1 bonus Round 2 - 3 plus 1 QF - 3 plus 1 SF - 3 plus 1 F - 2
Total, 27.
UEFA Cup
Round 1 - 3 Group stage - 6 Round 3 - 3 Round 4 - 3 plus 1 QF - 3 plus 1 SF - 3 plus 1 F - 2
Total - 26!!!!
If you start in group stage of ECL and finish 3rd
ECL group stage qualifying - 3 pts ECL round 1 (say) 5 pts UC round 3 - 3 UC round 4 - 3 plus 1 UC QF - 3 plus 1 UC SF - 3 plus 1 F - 2
Total - 26 again.
Add points from qualifying rounds and the UC winner could easily end up with more points than the ECL winner.
2nd round (last 16) in the ECL might get you only
3 + 3 + 1 = 7 points
last 16 in the UC might get you 14! |

| More bonus points in CL, for getting to group stage and for getting into last 16.
I think the 2 points for a win for either Champions League or UEFA games is not correct. There should be a difference between the two. |

| the points are fine now. It's not only the points but also the money. Club brugge gain a lot of points in uefacup, Anderlecht very little but money is the other world. |

| Yes, but it also gives less money. |
