Europa League 2025-26

We want to be top 2. Anything else is failure.

Just looking down the table to see who is propping everyone up and ....... ooh Nice, Rangers!

League starting to take shape at the halfway stage now.  I think it was about 16/17 points for top 8 in the Champions League lads season, but with the standard being lower in the Europa, more teams might win more games meaning the threshold will ge higher.  Saying that, the 8th placed team currently sit on 8 points, so 16-18 is probably going to be the sort of range.

Win the remaining two home games would take us to 15 and then one further away win would be 18 and would see us comfortably in the top 8 with a game to spare.

Rangers came 8th in the table last season with 14pts so another 2 wins should be good for top 8 then anything from Fenerbache and Salzburg will see us competing for top 2.

[ADVILLAFAN]

Yes, I was thinking 2 more wins should see us into the top 8.

It really isn't. Failure is going out of the comp. Theoretically we could win it from 24th.

[Dante Lavelli]

What’s the prize money for wins and draws compared to CL.  In a weird way we are also defending that income if we want to grow.

More teams winning more games means the points required to get top 8 decreases rather than increases. The reason the points required to get top 8 in CL were higher than what the computers predicted last season was because a couple of teams stank the competition out and got 0 points.

But the computers were predicting 17pts for top 8 in CL and we were 8th with 16, so your comment doesn’t make sense?

Initially they were predicting 14-16 would be enough. Then it went up as more data was added. This year it could be 19 points at the moment although that could drop as the unbeaten sides play each other.

[AV82EC]

That’s not my recollection. I’m sure the prediction was 17-18pts before a ball was kicked.

[Meanwood Villa]

I must have misremembered the points total. I can't find a pre season example now. My recollection was that we did better than expected and thought we'd be comfortable in top 8 but ended up only just scraping in.

[AV82EC]

Oh I agree I really thought even up to the last game it would need 17pts but we got in on 16. Ultimately we can discuss all day about what should or could happen but we got in the top 8 and that’s all that matters.

I don’t know that but the biggest prize will be qualifying for next years CL and the added income that guarantees.

[Somniloquism]

I think Spurs earned £30mil for winning it. (Made up for the same amount lost for being bottom five in the prem compared to 5th).

Plus point this year for earnings is that all our Sunday matches are on Sky so we earn more from that I believe.
