Match Day Thread 2015/16 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

It's not, it's exactly the same, barring the lack of an additional point for winning the Rd of 32 game (which doesn't exist in the CL) as stated.

 

So Rodgers European record isn't better than his then.

Thanks for clearing that up

 

The associations' club coefficients rankings are based on the results of each association's clubs in the five previous UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League seasons. The rankings determine the number of places allocated to an association (country) in forthcoming UEFA club competition.

Points system
1. Each team gets two points for a win and one point for a draw (points are halved for matches in the qualifying and play-off rounds).
2. Clubs that reach the round of 16, quarter-finals, semi-finals or final of the UEFA Champions League, or the quarter-finals, semi-finals or final of the UEFA Europa League, are awarded an extra point for each round.
3. In addition, four points are awarded for participation in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League and four points for qualifying for the round of 16.

Coefficient calculation
The coefficient is calculated by working out an average score: dividing the number of points obtained, by the total number of clubs representing an association in that season’s two club competitions. The resulting figure is then tallied with the results of the previous four seasons to calculate the coefficient. Where two associations have the same coefficient, the association with the higher coefficient in the most recent season is placed first.
These rankings will be updated after each round of UEFA club competition matches.

If Juventus and Man City both got to the semi-finals, it would be better for Italy since they only had six European competitors compared to our eight.

For arguments sake, lets say both teams had gained 16pts...

Juventus / Italy would be the 16pts divide by six (teams) = 2.66pts

Man City / England would be the 16pts divide by eight (teams) = 2pts

Therefore, we can't just match the Italian teams, we have to do better.

 

I think city finishing top, ahead of Juventus played a part in keeping England coefficient higher.

 

I posted how the points are calculated above, there are no points awarded for finishing top, it is based on match result and round progression only.

 

You know how this works -

A) I never read it.
B) I'm still right.

 

It's from UEFA's website

 

I refer you to point B.

 

I was going to say "You are actually right but not in the way you suggest ", but I just checked and they are equal atm...

Man City have won four which gives them eight coefficient points

Juventus have won three (6pts) and drew two (2pts) = 8pts

 

Two coefficient points for a win means Juventus and City both have 8 points

 

FFS...


Those 8pts are worth more to Italy (6 teams) than England (8 teams) too

 

I know, why'd you need so many more words to say the same thing?
