I really do not get their seedlings. How can Arsenal be in pot 1 when juventus are pot 3 ? How can Man U be pot 1 but Man city pot 2? And didn't Dortmund win the German title yet are pot 4? Anyone in the know shed some light on it?
The seedings and coefficients are based on performances in Europe over 5 years from each team. theres a points systems so obviously the better you do the more points you get. Domestic football isn't taken into account at all, it's all about performances in Europe.
http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/seedcl2012.html This site helps a little bit, it shows you all the rounds and each teams coefficient points. If you scroll to the bottom it shows you the 4 pots and all the teams are in order of coefficient points.
Thank you I didn't know that Explains why Chelsea are pot 1. It's basically a way of helping big teams get a better draw then surely ?
Its easy, it's cash generation for the big clubs. It gives no chance or incentive to the small diddy clubs like Sevco Franchise FC in Scottish Divvy 3 for example.
There's scientists in NASA who wouldn't be able to make any sense of UEFAs seeding plans. Mind, they do know **** all about football in fairness.
Can I be clear - the second part of your post - it does refer to UEFA ? I'm sure NASA scientists are not that ignorant about football - and would have brought in goal line technology years ago.
