UEFA European Football Forum

I asked in Nyon about my club, before our Cup semifinals: - 2nd place in the league - NC Q2 UCL - Cup Winner - PO UEL (UECL secured) I've been told that we can't choose and have to play NC Q2 UCL! I don't know about possibility above (Olympiacos), because this is the case of secured LEAGUE PHASE UE...

So if Fiorentina finish 8th or lower and wins ECL Italy will have 9 teams in Europe anyway? In case of them ending up 8th, then the 9th placed team goes to ECL? Same logic as if Dortmund win UCL and finish 5th (and/or Atalanta/Roma UEL), then 6th goes to UCL? It's funny that all 3 can still happen....

I think we can all agree that Cercle Brugge qualifying for Europe would be a disaster for the Belgian coefficient. They would be unseeded in ECL-Q4 (maybe even ECL-Q3 ?) and might end up drawing Chelsea, Napoli or Lyon. Even Lech Poznan or Rapid Wien would probably too high of a step for them. Belg...

I mostly disagree with you both for the top 3. With the pots being "useless" now, seeding only matters in qualifying rounds. So the 2nd EL spot and the ECL spot need to be taken by teams who will survive in the qualfiers. For me, the best would be Gent and Brugge, but I doubt Brugge will ...

Plenty of changes have been made to the core of it so bugs or a kind missfunctionality is possible. If you notice any please inform (a screenshot would help more since spreadsheet is updating automatically)

I presume entry to the first/second round may vary depending on whether Olympiakos also win the Greek underage league? (Which I think they're doing at the moment). I think if a club qualifies for the CL group stages and has their underage team win the underage league, then the runners-up in the und...

I think that AFC 1 has the easiest draw of the 4 anyway followed by AFC 2. The playoff winner group can be considered easier then the AFC 3 but I can't see a team losing for that and risk losing to Guinea. Edit: I didn't notice that if any of the 3 not being Japan end up in the same group with Isra...

The reason that there is no subject because lots of people here hate that so many of the top countries can particiapte in CL, the topic would only make us angry, like this topic now does ;) Have fun Uefa, I'm out Not at the expense of Netherlands to be honest, who got many points in Conference Leag...

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.

Most of numbers are similar. The ones I posted doesn't take account the strength of clubs so the difference in the % of the other predictions is cause of this. I would disagree with the 0.4 for France from Opta which is more than double chances than the 0.16 I got cause I don't think French clubs a...

In Poland, CL rights will be taken over by Canal+. Unofficial value is less than 100m EUR. Unfortunately no precise amount here, and I'm not sure how to rank us in the list. And if you want a source, it's from a video on YouTube in Polish, so I don't know if it helps. The EL/ECL deal is not officia...

That's a good formulation! I believe that the best way to go about 2+3, is to let the the unseeded the the highest Elo draw the seeded with the highest coefficients , since it is the most likely out of all unseeded teams to beat that seeded team (or other seeded teams as well). This is now implemen...

Yes, I do have a good reason, the whole premise of the Sheet is that a team with more lower Elo opponents is more likely to win in that round. But in practice it's probabilistic, and the more such teams there are, the more likely it is, including against more seeded teams in the next round. What I ...

[Update] I have now implemented this for UCL and UEL. I've added a column for coefficient, and for those clubs that have inherited their coefficient a number indicates from which club in the previous round, and the colour indicates from which tournament (e.g. blue for UCL, orange for UEL). That's g...
