Champions League Contention

[Toronto Villa]

I知 concerned not worried. Spurs have lost 4 straight and sit 7 points back. It will be some miracle if they beat us to 4th. Especially with Man City about to tattoo 5 or 6 past them.

Would we need to play a qualifying round?

No.

The new CL format next year explained. 36 teams, 1 league table. Play 8 different teams, 4 home and away. We will likely be seeded quite low so we値l be getting some spicy opponents.

If you want maths, here's some: the chances of Villa fucking something up is directly proportional to how much I want them to achieve it. I really want to get 4th, so I just can't relax, even if it had Spurs' chance at 0.1%.

Annoyingly, winning the Conference would bump us up a pot for sure.

That's good isn't it? Are we not going to win it?

Maybe, but the seedings are taken over club coefficient on 5 years and not one. We are currently 81st in the table so I expect 4th pot assuming 27 of the teams above us in the table qualify.

We would be getting them whichever pot though. Each team has two opponents drawn from each pot whichever pot that they start in. So two from the same pot as us, two from the next highest as so on. We essentially should just need three wins and a couple of draws to have a good chance of getting into the play off places.

No chance, even winning it we壇 still be miles off being in pot 3 with our current 1 seasons worth of coefficient as opposed to clubs who致e got the full 5 years.

This gives you an idea of who's likely to be in each pot. https://twitter.com/FootRankings/status/1786462477804314640

Do we know if there is any scope of drawing another british team. It would be utterly lame if we have to play citeh in one of those games.

On my football managwr you did play english sides in group phase so not sure?

[AV82EC]

I think the country protection is in place until the R16 or qtr finals.
