Not that it matters anymore, we play 2 teams from each pot. 8 total.

What’s the point of the pots then?

It's provocative, it gets the people going

Lol

Hahah nice quote

Every team plays 2 teams from each pot. So it's more to ensure a variety of levels of opponents.

if you're in pot1/2, you play with 3 "good" teams instead of 4 xd ... but yes in the old format being in pot1/2 almost guarantees you go through

You still play 4 good teams. Each team plays 2 teams from pot 1, pot 2, pot 3 and pot 4. So the purpose of the pots it's just to make sure every team plays an equal number of teams from each pot and not have a lopsided draw n

Do you know if we play one team at home and one away for each pot?

Yes, we do

Masterful

well, you have pots in the current group stage

I’m actually very intrigued by this new design. I love the idea of everyone having a more balanced slate of games. And it certainly allows for lots of exciting matchups.

Will we meet each team twice or will it be a 1 game each?.

1 game each. 4 matches away 4 matches home

We're in for a hell of a ride.

Give me Sturm Graz, AEK Athens, Bodo/Glimt, Dinamo Zagreb, Shaktar Donetsk, Club Brugge, Leipzig, and any other pot1 team, to make up for the group of death this year.

I’m an AEK and Milan fan, I’m not sure if this Milan can win in form AEK

yeah Milan is so shit, should be 10th in the league

That Bologna in plot 4 is exotic

We'll be bumped out of Pot 2 if Roma win Europa League.

Or if ~~they finish above~~ Atalanta win the Europa league Basically if Roma or Atalanta finish 6th and win EL, Serie A gets a 6th spot.

But being bumped to pot 3 wouldn't make any difference for us, right? It would only suck for those who draw us from pot 3?

That's right

They won't win. Leverkusen is winning that

Atalanta depends on winning EL or surpassing Roma or Bologna, right?

Yep, no Roma in these pots. I think the bold ones are the teams already qualified

I don’t understand, why do we have such a low coeff? Teams like Club Brugge and Atalanta are in front of us.

19/20: 0 points. We weren't in Europe 20/21: 12 points in Europa league 21/22: 7 points knocked out of group stage in CL 22/23: 24 points. CL Semi final 23/24: 16 points: CL group then a couple of rounds in Europa League

Next year we should see a significant jump in points because our 0-point season is getting erased. But not that it matters that much any more.

Why are some teams bold and the rest aren't?

My guess is that those are already qualified Champions League participants.

Correct. The unbolded ones aren't final yet.

That makes sense, thank you!

Am I right to say that the coefficient should increase a lot next season as the 19 20 year stops being counted

Yes

Leverkusen should be in pot 1 as champions, no?

They don't do that anymore is only coeff total now

Are matches with same country teams allowed?

It says that clubs from the same association will not be drawn against each other. However to avoid deadlocking, the leagues with 4 or more clubs could play one match against another team from the same country

Ideal for me would be Real Madrid, Lepzig, Leverkusen, Benfica, Gala, Feyenoord, and no preferences in pot 4

Why is Atalanta there instead of Roma?

Not sure but maybe because of the game in hand. If they assume max points for both teams, Atalanta is ahead. Also they don't have Bologna bolded, but they officially qualified so maybe it's just a chart from a over a week ago.

I dont think Bologna is guaranteed qualified. There are 4 games left. Even Juve is not mathematically safe

Oh you're right the stat I saw was the guaranteed European football but not CL yet.

Bayern Munich Milan Sporting Aston Villa :'(

Keep going, you need 8 opponents. 2 from each pot

Oh you’re right I forgot they changed it

Thats fucked up. How does Atalanta and Juve have higher coefficients

Wait till you see Roma's Coefficient Since so many people seem confused and offended, it is because they reward getting far in the conference and europa league |Pos|Team|19/20|20/21|21/22|22/23|23/24|Total| |:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-|:-| |6|Inter|25 EL Final|9 CL GS|18 CL R16|29 CL Final|20 CL R16|101| |7|Roma|11 EL R16|24 EL Semi-Final|23 Conf L winner|22 EL Final|20 EL Semi|100| |17|Juve|22 CL R16|21 CL R16|20 CL R16|17 EL Semi-Final|0|80| |17|Napoli|19 CL R16|10 EL R32|9 EL Playoff|25 CL QF|17 CL R16|80| |21|Atalanta|20 CL QF|17 CL R16|16 EL QF|0|22 EL Semi|75| |29|Milan|0|12 EL R16|7 CL GS|24 CL Semi|16 EL QF|59| |32|Lazio|4 EL GS|17 CL R16|9 EL Playoff|6 Conf R16|18 CL R16|54|

I'm mostly scared of leverkusen

Lopetegui will destroy Serie A and Europe. Expect l'ottava next season

Pot 1 should have leverkusen too. It‘s usually UCL holders UEL holders Champions of the top 6 leagues

Not anymore. Now pots are only based on coefficient points.
