UEFA European Football Forum

I simulated UCL season 24/25 considering only teams which are currently projected to qualify to the League Phase. I then compared the Uefa Country Points for the next season to the ones of the last 3 seasons with the current format (including current one) Those are the average Uefa Country Points e...

I still think that no club will be promoted from EL-Q2 to EL-Q3, although the regulations only say so in the case of direct rebalancing (CO title holder related). Exactly and and it is logical. Maybe they will change this part of relegation too :D One more issue though. Based on CL regulations if l...

That's how I had understood it first but then I though what's the point of using best ranked club when at ch path all clubs are champions and at nc path all countries have 1 participant so I guessed best rank was about club ranking Does this also mean that if Dortmund wins CL and gets EL spot from l...

@bert.kassies I want to ask you few questions because I can't understand how they are planning the rebalancing based on the regulations. 1) UEFA published a rebalanced access list at regulations and the only change at CL's access list is that CHs of Sweden and Poland were promoted to Q2. Based on w...

What is still unclear to me is if CW of Norway can be promoted to EL-Q3 in case CL-W or EL-W qualify at EL-Q3 or later round of EL (eg Dortmund, Roma, Atalanta). If the banned clubs and THs qualified to minor competition belong to a category of missing spots to be filled then the CW of Denmark shoul...

@eye If it's assumed that Club Brugge is ECL-W and they finish second in Belgium (CL qualifiers), shouldn't Ajax be directly qualified to EL as the highest ranked club in EL qualifiers as a consequence of ECL-W rebalancing? That's right, it was a minor bug which is fixed. Thanks for noticing this

Another weird thing I noticed at regulations is at the rebalancing of EL 3.06 of CL regulations "In the event of any other vacancies, and further knock-on effects in the UEFA Europa League and/or UEFA Conference League, priority is given to the best ranked club(s) in the UEFA Champions League o...

And in that scenario the TH rebalancing in the champions path would not apply? The best ranked champion would NOT qualify directly to CL league phase? The EPS is allocated to the club that finishes the relevant association's domestic championship in the highest position of all those that do not qua...

The extra spot is for team number 5 in the league, the ECL and EL teams performance is actually much more indicative to who deserves it. So a country that was completely wiped out from CL in R16 by their CL opponents, deserves an additional CL spot for their season's performance, because some of th...

The only ranking system that is fair is the one you are facing every opponent like the domestic leagues. All the rest ranking systems are not fair by default and they also involve draws which might be good or bad. UEFA ranking system is not fair of course but it is working well for the purposes that...

EDIT: I only just now realised that Benfica is somehow in CLPO as well. Perhaps something has broken in the spreadsheet.

This was a bug concerning EPS spots but it is fixed now

@eye could it be there is something wrong with your Access List 2024/2025 ? Belgium got a crossed out CW spot, but there's no mention where this one is going to. Belgium CW is crossed because currently the spot belongs to Club Brugge which is considered to be the ECL-W. The spot currently goes to C...

Season's top2 chances and 5 year ranking chances when each of the 14.348.907 remaining possible outcomes has same probability

That’s my point, this year Spain with Osasuna (0.5 points), Sevilla (6) and Real Betis (7), a total of 13.5 points (1.688 contribution to country) didn’t have a “deep bench”. For example 6-8 teams for England got 31 points(3.875), Italy 6&7 (no 8) got 33 (4.714) even Germany 6&7 got 15.5 (2...
