If all Russian clubs were allocated to the round they were supposed to be and had lost all their matches then Russian would have earned 0.800 points both seasons which is the bonus for the champion being at CL GS (4.000) divided by the number of total clubs in competitions (5). Loosing matches before GS and being at GS of EL or ECL doesn't award points to countries but just points for the clubs.Agent327 wrote: ↑Mon Mar 20, 2023 17:40I disliked the gift of the 4.333 points to Russia from the start. If you want handing out points, do it according the ranking.Fotcalc wrote: ↑Fri Mar 17, 2023 14:02 This was UEFA's last statement on the suspension of Russia:
"...all Russian representative teams and clubs are suspended from taking part in UEFA competition matches, until further notice."
When it comes to their country coefficient for the 23/24 season, we still haven't heard anything. But everything indicates that the 4.333 points will be the case that season too.
So. Pretend all teams enter in the round allocated to them. Then assign a 3-0 loss for all their games. Count their bonus points and qualification points divided by no. of teams, and that will be your coef points.
For 2022/2023 instead of 4.333 they just get 2.8 points.
For 2023/2024 the damage isn't that high with 2.7 points
Next seasons they will drop down quickly in ranking and in points (provided they will be suspended for the years ahead)
I also don't like that Russia is awarded points but still it is not really a major issue. If Russia hadn't received this gift they would have been 24th so the only difference would have been that their champion would have started at Q1 instead of Q2 so it is not really a big deal. Of course they would still carry this 0 for 4 more seasons but again I don't think the final outcome would have been much different
