It is guaranteed that the top eight will have home advantage in the second legs, and be seeded to play against the round of twenty-four winners, in the last sixteen. I'm not sure whether there is any seeding in the quarter-finals and semi-finals or if it's just open draw, as it has always been previously.Also teams finishing 9th-16th will have home advantage in second leg, and be seeded to play teams that finish 17th-24th, in the round of twenty-four.Had a look, from what I see, no real benefit finishing higher than 8th. Obviously, we're pretty well placed to get into that group, given our points on the board and the game or two where we feel we should pick up maximum points, especially Brugge and Celtic (that said, nobody will be fancy playing us right now, including Juve and the like). So if we can get over the line early, we can ease up a bit and focus on the league and domestic cups.Quote from: eye digress on October 24, 2024, 02:25:48 PMQuote from: cdbearsfan on October 23, 2024, 12:30:03 PMSorry, yes.

About E275k per place.
Sorry, yes. It is guaranteed that the top eight will have home advantage in the second legs, and be seeded to play against the round of twenty-four winners, in the last sixteen.

Quote from: lovejoy on October 24, 2024, 03:41:15 PMI think top 8 will be a struggle. 2 wins from the next 5 games will likely be enough. We have won 3 out of 3 so far. What makes you think we will win a maximum of 1 of the next 5?
I think top 8 will be a struggle.

We have won 3 out of 3 so far. What makes you think we will win a maximum of 1 of the next 5?The evidence of being a supporter for the last 40 years. We barely stumbled to 5th last season because Spurs trippped up. We should beat Celtic in the last match but we have a tough home match vs Juve and then away matches.
On a random sort of related tangent... I'm going to watch Feyenoord Vs AZ Alkmaar on the 2nd at De Kuip. Can anyone tell me which end Peter Withe scored at?
It was against the team 35/36 in the table, are we able to play them again otherwise I do not see the relevance.
We should be able to play Crystal Palace and not lose by 5.Look, I am being intentionally pessimistic because bitter experience has conditioned me not to expect anything and to only celebrate after the fact. Reading some posts on here and it sounds like some fans are booking hotels in Munich already.
Getting ahead of ourselves, just some quotes:"I've already booked my hotel for the Super Cup.Anyone else dreaming that we could win this?And I’m definitely dreaming of CL gloryWould be unbelievable if we remained unbeaten in group stage.We've basically qualified for the next round of the Champions League already having played less than half our matchesWe need to qualify as quickly as possible so we can deliberately lose our last few group games to mess up England's rankingWe’ll be there or thereabouts"
