    Don't think it'll be real we get. Bayern seems more likely.

    Opta predicting us to finish 19th and get either Bayern or Brest.

    This is where the heavyweights are, subpar performances won't cut it going forward....have to be totally switched on for what's to come

    No point even trying to predict who we get in the playoffs, it’s gonna be so unpredictable!
    If we lose or draw to Villa, we’ll drop down the table and could end up playing the likes of Real, Dortmund or Bayern.

    Or we could beat Villa, move up the table, and still end up drawing PSG or City.

    Obviously, moving up and getting the home advantage in the second leg would be huge, though!

    Can we not still get an automatic spot on 15? It'd require crazy math, but possible, no?

    Technically we can still make the top 8, all we need to do is beat Villa, and hope that…
    (*inhale…)
    Barca beat Atalanta
    Leverkusen fail to beat Prague
    Bayern fail to beat Slovak
    Dortmund don’t beat Shakhtar
    Real and Brest draw
    Zagreb beat AC Milan
    Monaco don’t beat Inter
    Juve don’t beat Benfica
    Lille and Feyenoord draw
    and Salzburg beat A. Madrid
    (…exhale!)

    If all that happens, we’d actually finish 5th.
    So we’d need at least 7 or 8 of the above mentioned results to go our way to reach the top 8.

    Be interesting to see what kinda pay out you’d get on that accumulator!:56:

    Looking at upcoming fixtures, we finish ahead of Man City, at least one of PSG and Stuttgart, a good chance of coming ahead of Benfica or Juve. Club Brugge have to get a result away to City to go above us.

    There are some really good teams below us.

    Its going to be a complete lottery who we get in the next round. A single goal scored/conceded in any fixture on the final matchday will likely cause ripples through the table. The pack will shuffle and shuffle and then like the roll of dice we will know our opponents.

    I think UEFA are definitely going to tweak this format in the years ahead, probably starting with making the play off round a seeded draw based on coefficients

    Making the play offs seeded by coefficient wouldn't make sense. Imagine coming 9th and not being seeded because 5 years ago some * who comes 24th had a good run in the conference league.

    I think the current model makes sense, as despite clubs already qualified so many clubs have loads to play for in the last game. Whether it's top 8, top 16 or higher in the top 16.

    Assuming this excludes TV money?

    Those numbers look a little low. Surely all in with TV, gate receipts etc we are talking £40-50m?

    It used to be 40m always spoken about for playing UCL and this season the numbers were meant to be bigger than ever.

    I believe it's not including TV money as isn't that dependent on each countries own TV deals?
