huh the pots dont go by league position now? back to coefficient?

Yes, the CL holders are pot 1, then all others are done by coefficients.

So UCL & Europa start on different weeks....do they continue like this or will 'European weeks' include all 3 cups as before?

Interestingly (to me at least) if you progress through the Europa League (1st - 4th) then you do not play any greater number of games than the Europa League in years gone by, as it always included an additional ko round (Round of 32) compared to the UCL.

The UCL gets another 2 games in the group stage (8) and potentially another 2 if you end 5th - 12th in the league.

I assume winning the Europa still gets you to the UCL, and conference to the Europa, as before?

Also do the top 2 performing leagues in Europe this season get an additional UCL place next season?

So many questions

No, just the first weeks are "exclusive". Then it goes back to CL on Tuesday and Wednesday. Not sure if all Europa/Conference are just Thursdays. The other difference is the last games are all played on same day - ie all CL on Tuesday, Europa Wednesday, Conference Thursday.

Yes, Europa winners get CL, Conference winners Europa.

Yes, the top 2 performing leagues get the extra place.

thank you font of knowledge

TNS are as good as through

Would be one of the greatest comebacks if they fack it up. First Welsh team to get to the group/league stage since it stopped being straight KO?

CL pots confirmed.
