ModJambo Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Looking at the UEFA website it says that clubs from the same association cannot be drawn against each other. Meaning that Omonia cannot get drawn with Larnaca/Partizan and Sivasspor cannot be drawn against Fenerbahce/Slovacko. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A full stadium, a bouncing atmosphere, and a bit of luck on the park. Stranger things have happened, look at the run that Rangers put together. We were pishing ourselves when they were drawn against Borussia Dortmund... You're not telling me they are actually as good as how they ended up performing!

Waterboy Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 (edited) Here's how our potential opponents rank based on UEFA club coefficients, which takes in to account results in Europe over the past 5 seasons. Ranked the ties on the right by coefficient, most favourable ties at the top. Think I've probably over estimated some of the teams we could face - but previous performance isn't always a reliable indication of future performance Also, Hearts don't have a ranking as not been in any European competition the past 5 years.

Waterboy Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Also - some of the rankings look wrong, but clubs are ranked based on which is higher, their club coefficient or their nations coefficient over the period. So some teams who have performed poorly, but are from a country with high performing teams might benefit from a bump up the rankings.

I think there's probably quite a lot in the various qualifying paths that doesn't make sense but no one has enough of an idea to ever question it 😂 I think the reason that Q3 league path losers go straight into the EL group stage while Q3 champions path losers only go into the EL playoff round is that the teams in the champions path are mainly from lower ranked countries. League path teams are from 5th down to 15th (roughly, looking at a not 100% up to date access list), champions path teams are from 14th potentially right down to 55th and bottom San Marino. I think it's basically a case of looking after/prioritising the bigger clubs/leagues as usual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Hardy’s Dug Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 People can say it’s a losers mentality, and of course I want us to win the play off, but the reality is dropping down to the ECL is the route by which we will earn the most money from Europe this season. Also, in my opinion, last year the ECL semi finals had better teams in it than the Europa semis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuck berrys hairline Posted July 28, 2022 Share Posted July 28, 2022 Just shows how shyte our league really is. 3rd should be Hearts minimum every season.
