Aston Villa v FC Salzburg Pre-match

[Brazilian Villain]

This is Unai’s 4th season with us and some people still don’t get him or how he works

It's just a lucky run, it's unsustainable.

[rob_bridge]

I'd go;

Bizot

Garcia, Lindelof, Mings, Digne

Bogarde, Hemmings

Guessand, Buendia, Sancho

Watkins

My team too.. Maybe tempted to play Elliot ahead of Emi.

Total fluke. Why arent we hoofing it forward against all teams - they dont like it up them?

[Demitri_C]

Go for it qst half get the lead and then maks changes at half time.

Its vital we get top two to help with having second legt at villa park.  I genuinely  believe had 2nd leg been at villa park against olympiakos  we would have the tie

Mine as well and I have bought a ticket.

Do not let Onana anywhere near this game.

Will be keeping a close eye on Lyon v PAOK. We're gonna win the league.

Not seen anything about the differing prize money for finishing in say 1-4th in the League phase?

Otherwise, doesn't seen to be much difference in finishing 1st or 2nd in the table.

Coefficient Points is 6 to 5.75 from 1st to 2nd and 0.25 step for each position in the top 8.

Prize money is 36 shares 1st and 35 shares for 2nd and so on down the whole table. Each share is initially worth €75k so 1st is €75k x36 ($2.7m) and so on. That can be increased as each draw in the league stage means there’s more money for the pot at the end but we won’t know until next week. Each team in the top 8 gets €600k for direct qualification as well. Qualification for the R16 also gets us €1.75m as well.

So finishing 1st or 2nd is fairly inconsequential in monetary terms but is worth about €5.5m in total.

Do not let Onana anywhere near this game.

Or Tielemens

Probably would of made more money by having tickets slightly cheaper and less prohibitive.

Brilliant, thanks AV82. Couldn't find that online.

[cdbearsfan]

Seems silly that there is no real difference between 1st and 2nd. I would give the 1st place team in each of the competitions a trophy, to at least make it vaguely worth bothering.

Play the kids.
