Champions League 24/25
« on: June 19, 2024, 01:52:22 pm »
Suprised to read that 29/36 participants for the CL are aleady comfirmed

https://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/028a-1a4c5f292492-f6d3a5ee82bd-1000--2024-25-champions-league-who-has-qualified-directly-for-t/

Pot 1 and 2 are set, so won't be any changes there after qualifiers.

Only changes will be in Pot 3 and 4, 2 from each of the 4 pots. This guy has shown the 7 who he thinks will qualify based on coefficients, so still a long way to decide those 7 tho

Ones in bold are confirmed entries

Things starting to line up (although only marginally) for the 7 teams that may come through the play offs and into the group stage

Winners of the 5 ties in the first graphic go to group
Winners of the 2 ties in the second graphic go to group

Basically it's mostly automated. Balls get drawn from Pot 1 then a computer allocates the fixtures and opponents

Because if there were no pots you could draw all big team or all small teams, that's why they're ranked by coefficent into 4 pots

so the old format was 13 games including the final

this format is 15 games* if you finish top 8

and 17 games* if you finish 8th-16th?

have I got that right?


*provided you reach the final

9th to 24th = 17 games.

Yes, you can finish 24th out of 36 teams and still win it. Don’t forget though that as per UEFA, it’s all for the fans, nothing else, definitely not the money.

also higher likelihood of a lot of dross being played, because players are knackered.

love how Gary Neville incited a riot about the super league but not this new format (which originally also included an 'auto' qualification for high coefficients).

On the positive note the increased number of aways combined with the fact that it's difficult to retain the credit unless you actually attend might open a window of opportunity for others to get on the away ladder.

if you can keep allocating to other people, i think people will always find a way

dependent on fixtures, if we were to make the final they might have to make criteria all homes + at least two aways for a guaranteed ticket now

Oh people will 100% find a way, the key is less people doing so (Napoli for example went to all members a couple seasons ago).

Have they changed something for the upcoming season or can you still just put somebody else details in and they go?

No they haven't changed anything but the point is its harder than it used to be as the ticket can only be used by that person and if it doesn't scan you won't get the credit.

If it's somewhere like, for example, Napoli, then you can't just buy the ticket and not go as people used to do, or you can but you'll risk not getting the credit.

How do we think criteria will work this season? I've put my guess, but probably wrong. My logic is I've gone back to the start of the season with the last allocation of that size, but not sure if they will do that?

Guaranteed criteria by allocation (rough):

>3800: 2 since Napoli 2018
3400-3800: 3 since Napoli 2018
3000-3400: 2 since Napoli 2019
2800-3000: 2 since Napoli 2022
2750-2800: 3 since Napoli 2022
1900-2750: 4 since Napoli 2022
1300-1900: 5 since Napoli 2022
1100-1300: 2-4 since LASK 2023
750-1100: 5 since LASK 2023

Oh and it looks like UEFA have clearly made a uturn very recently as apparently you now can’t face a team from the same country in the groups whereas up until very recently, countries with 4 or 5 entrants could face another team from the same country…literally making it up as they go along  ::)

Yep, which made it all the more farcical that the PL never actually came out and said that when they announced the September TV games over 6 weeks ago as I told a fair few that understandably hadn’t realised.

No surprises that UEFA are just like the PL in that they give zero fucks for the match going supporters.

So shocked how there has been so little comment about an automated draw for virtually all the matches, with UEFA claiming the software will be completely random

It's so open to question how it works, and possible fixing

Can almost guarantee that UEFA's software algorithms will ensure that Madrid and City get the 8 most favourable matches possible  ;) ;)
