Up to 7 CL teams from the Prem

[Nufcian]

Which is somewhat ironic seeing as we didnt make any european competition by finishing 7th last season.

Yeah but it’s still down to…

4 minimum, but and extra spot, making it 5 IF prem teams perform well enough across all European competions… which didn’t happen last season

The other 2 are only possible if a Prem club wins the Europa League and Conference League competitions… then they get additional places in the extended competition, which don’t result in one of the league finishing (4 or 5) being superseded by the winner of either of those competitions.

Points are awarded for each game, same in any competition (so Europa and Conference count just as much as CL) 2 for a win, 1 for a draw and 0 for a loss.

That total is divided by the number of teams a country had in the completions from that start… which is 7 in our case (City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Villa, Spurs, Man Utd, Chelsea).

At the minute we lead the table:

1. England, 20.892 - (6/7)
2. Spain, 19.035 - (6/7)
3. Italy, 18.187 - (4/8)
4. Portugal, 16.050 - (2/5)
5. Germany, 16.046 - (4/8)
6. Belgium, 15.250 - (3/5)
7. France, 14.857 - (3/7)
8. Netherlands, 14.750 - (4/6)
9. Greece, 11.687 - (2/4)
10. Czechia, 10.350 - (1/5)

So Spain will definitely lose a team in the next round (Real v Athletico) and Germany will too (Bayern v Leverkusen).

So, for example, if all the English teams win their respective games we’ll have an additional 12/7=1.714 added to our points co-efficient 20.892+1.714=22.606.

That’s why teams progressing is good for us, means there is that extra league position, which already looks very likely, and I’m in a very conflicted space wanting Man Utd to win as they play Real Sociedad… and given Spain are second, the more teams they lose from Europe the better for us, making 5 spots for league finishing more likely.

I think its already gap too far for anyone catch england.
20 points were enough for top-2 finish in last 5 years.

Little remark - Conf league winner wont be awarded CL place.
7 CL could be allocated with following:
4 places - top-4 PL finish
1 place - 5th PL finish (if England team perform 24/25 season)
1 place - CL winner (should be Villa, as Arsenal and Liverpool will be top-4)
1 place - Europa League winner (either Spurs or red mancs)

Highly likely its 5, could be 6

You?re right and wrong.

Right in that Conference don?t
Wrong in that could be 7, because if Villa won it and finished outside top 5 they?d get an additional spot without taking away from a qualified spot
