Tord31 Posted October 9, 2020 Share Posted October 9, 2020 Yes thats for the next 5-7 years which includes a conference title holder every year. There isn't one. Some people believe that means they will create an additional fixture in the PO round. Obviously another possibility could be the move one team up to the Groups. We'll just need to wait and see. it's not exciting until we are comfy in third anyway Link to comment

Were 14th and the country in 13th will get that PO spot next year. Its not happening for next seasons competition as far as I can see Link to comment

My premise is that for next seasons competition, Scotland's Scottish Cup Winners / 3rd place will enter the Europa League QR3. The post above I merely accepted the suggestion that there could be one additional spot created as a result of there not being a current Conference League Winner and articulated why that does not create enough spaces for us to be bumped two spots Link to comment

With the new format its hard to tell at this point wheter we would be seeded or not Europa League QR3 Only 6 teams in this round There are effectively no previous rounds in the new Europa League format and there would only be 6 sides entering the QR3 stage. 3 Teams from countries ranked 13-15 and 3 teams who have dropped out in the Champions League, non-champions from countries ranked 10-15. So there is the potential we could be a seeded team, depending on who was knocked out of the CL-QR2 round Europa League PO round There's 20 teams in this round. 3 teams from the QR3 (3 from associations 10-15) 6 teams dropping out from the Champions League QR3 (countries ranked 13 and lower) 5 teams from Europa League Champions Path (League Champions from associations 15 and lower) 6 teams direct entrants from associations 7-12 So its hard to know whether we would be seeded or not. If we gained access as a team in rank 12, theoretically, there are 5 teams from higher ranked associations, however the other 14 are likely to be from associations that are lower in ranking than ourselves. It will depend on individual seedings to see if we scrape a seeded place or not 2 hours ago, Tord31 said: unseeded and starting cold Not for cetain (as above) The starting cold is uncertain as well as I guess it will depend when the rounds are scheduled and when our season was to start.

Yep, that's the scenario for whoever finishes 2nd in Scotland should we break into the top 12 country rankings. Win 1 round and you're guaranteed group stage football, be it CL, EL or EL2 Link to comment

The theory you are presenting does not work because they've got rid of QR1 and QR2 for the Europa League. (I WAS MISSING THIS IMPORTANT FACT PREVIOUSLY) So you can't fix the problem by only moving up one nation because you can't back fill that one team from QR2 teams. It's meant to be 8 ties in QR3 and then 12 teams join in QR4 meaning there would be 20 teams in QR4 (10 ties). Once you lose one team from QR4 start (7th nation promoted) then you have 8 ties in QR3 and only 11 teams join in QR4 meaning you are one team short (19 teams). One possible fix is to change it to 7 ties in QR3 and then 13 teams join in QR4 putting you back to the 20 teams in the PO round (13th and 14th nation promoted). This is the best guess theory that some Uefa know it all's are going for. Link to comment

Quite a few bones to pick in there. 1) The competition has only 6 teams the the Europa League QR3 next season (From Bert Kassies). 3 from leagues 13-15 and 3 losers from the Champions League (non-champions) QR2. 2) You’re correct that there is no earlier rounds to back fill, meaning there are a number of differing solutions. Such as a team getting a bye or more likely, promote the team in the 16th league from the Europa League Conference competition and back fill I. There (more likely I would propose). There are 81 ties and 162 teams, so easy to lose one tie out of there. Link to comment

Within days of starting Higher maths I realised that I stood more chance of passing water on the Queen than passing it so I dropped it sharpish. You have just brought that feeling of utter hopelessness right back to me. I'll settle for us being in the Betfred group stages rather than that fucking mess (well I won't but I'll just watch the matches that we play and let Pythagoras worry about how to sort out the fine details of the draw) Link to comment
