The association co-efficient for the season is worked out as an average of the total co-efficient points scored by each club representing that association in that season. So while having more teams potentially leads to a higher score, a team having a poor season would impact the average at the...
No restriction on who you can draw in the last 16 other than you can’t play clubs from same association. So we could face Marseille again. It happened last year when USG and Union Berlin met in the last 16 having been in the same group.
All getting that 5th place would do is shift the Europa League spot through league position from 5th to 6th.
It would then be 1-5 CL, 6th and FA Cup winners Europa League, League Cup winners into the Conference League.
7th and 8th would only qualify through league position if sides in the top...
Newcastle and Man Utd getting knocked out won’t effect our co-efficient that much. We will still get 4 Champions League spots as those places are allocated on overall co-efficient which is calculated over a number of seasons. Obviously if we have several seasons where English clubs do poorly...
It's not a spot in the last 16. It's a spot in what is technically the last 24 (which sounds wrong) as they've got to beat a Europa League group stage runner up for a place in the last 16.
It's been this way since the 1999-2000 season, although the UEFA Cup/Europa League has had a few...
Away goals in head to head results was last used as a tiebreaker in the 20-21 season.
Benfica scored more goals in all group games so that’s why they went through. Had they not scored that late goal Salzburg would have gone through on goals difference in head to head matches.
This is how teams...
Union Berlin played last seasons Europa League fixtures at their own ground so I can't see any reason it wouldn't happen if they got through. Although interestingly they could have played the CL games at Alte Forsterei this season, however they chose to move the games to maximise ticket sales.
If we finish 2nd we will be home in the second leg of the play off round.
If we win that game we’d be home in the first leg of the last 16 game.
If we win the group we will be away second leg of the last 16 game.
The two associations with the best co-efficient score for the 23-24 season will get an extra place. If the PL get that spot it will go to the team finishing 5th in the table regardless of individual team co-efficient, it could in theory go to a team who have never played in Europe before if they...
