6th
more cash??
I donāt think so no
Top eight is fine as you get a bye into the last sixteen and will be the top seed so you play away first. Other than that it donāt matter if you finish first or eighth or anywhere inbetween
1st place (or top 2) gets to pick their opponents. Who says no to that suggestion?
how many more games is this vs. the last format?
Will we have the numbers squad wise to do well here and the other 3 domestic competitions?
8 āgroupā games instead of 6. If you fuck up and end in the playoffs, itās a two legged game to qualify for Ro16 for 10 total games.
Knockouts is the same as usual.
48 goals scored, none conceded?
after the first 5-6 games we will have a better picture if we can be top 8, and then decide if we can put less attention on the league game (or even FA Cup) if we need the additional 4 games.
Where will the away games for the Ukraine clubs be held? Iām assuming not in Ukraine.
Really? Thatās interesting, I wasnāt aware they were to that level
Did some research on Shakhtar, they will be playing at Schalkeās stadium in Germany.
Last year they played in Hamburg, Warsaw the year before. Seems they reach agreements with who will host their āhomeā fixtures on a per season basis.
There is:
Which clubs from pot 1 do people think will drop out of the top 8?
PSG
PSG, Leipzig and Inter.
Although ādrop outā isnāt the correct phrasing. More so āfail to make itā.
For some reason, Iām finding out about this new format just now. So, which teams drop into the Europa league now on?
None of them, which has always been the correct number
Cheers. Thereās a possibility the league phase could be a bit of a dull affair compared to the previous format, but no teams dropping to the Europa is a warm welcome.
Doesnāt happen anymore.
