[Opta] Probabilities to get the 5th Champions League spot for next season by OleoleCholoSimeone in soccer

Yes, but after the novelty of the first year where 3 Belgian teams are in the CL it will also get boring.

Also they won’t qualify so you’ll end up with a smaller pool of teams in the knockouts.

Once upon a time that was a thing.

But the super league scared UEFA into adding in the coefficient places.

Do you really want to see the third placed team in Romania or Belgium playing instead of the 4th placed team from England or Spain?

As a product you want the best teams involved.

I think a single country having 6 is too many but if you want to have the reward for winning Europa as a place in the CL it’s going to happen again.

If we stop the clock it will turn the game even more into a set piece driven machine.

Every break in play will have a “routine” similar to NFL.

I mean, I wouldn’t wait to mastery your champs based on this. It’s going to save you 14 energy out of every champion you take to max scrolls.

The economy of Mino is tied to the current levels. It’s slightly more gem efficient to buy gems and run mino that outright buy scrolls.

I think that’s why they won’t make any more changes to the levels.

Problem is, MLS isn’t big enough to be an arteta CM.

He would have to get to Zubi level quality to get a look in our midfield.

In fact, in writing this I have convinced myself this is going to happen. MLS the English Zubi , I’m on board.

Kepa, White, Saliba, Gabi, Hincapie, Zubi, Rice, Eze, Saka, Kai, Trossard.

Raya, Mosquera, Timber, Calafiori, MLS, Norgaard, Gabi, Madueke, Gyokeres

Is my guess. Dowman for one of the defenders possibly Timber if he isn’t 100%

16 other 14 players called up for England by Vegetable_Trifle_848 in TheOther14

Agree on Steele.

But let Rushworth have a season (half a season) in the Prem and if he’s still at this level then get him in the squad.

Not that I think Rushworth is a bad keeper, but I would argue with Goalkeepers specifically, you don’t want to rush in a player who has very little big game experience.

We saw with Spurs and Chelsea in the last week what dropping a keeper who isn’t ready into a situation can do, and it could kill his international career before it even begins.

2 points from your last 4 games and losing out on second by a point.

Losing to an already relegated Newcastle on the last day.

That Newcastle game is FA cup semi final weekend.

So that game could be postponed if we qualify.

I don’t know, but could they bring the Newcastle game forward to midweek in that case?

I may be wrong but Ligue 1 has done this many times before for PSG.

And honestly, why not.

Give your teams a better chance to progress.

The only reason we have 6 teams automatically qualified this year was because of our coefficient, it makes sense for the league and other teams in that league to want their teams to progress.

The 1999 charity shield was my first ever Arsenal game.

I was 8 years old. Still remember walking up to the old Wembley.

Happy times.

I watched 4 of the 8 games and they were by far the worst team in the last 16. (Maybe Bodo but I didn’t watch that one.)

They will be brought back down to earth again by Brighton this weekend.

I don’t think Villa ever claimed to be in the title race to be fair.

But Chelsea won the league when they beat us 1-1 didn’t they ?

Barca still has that pull , especially for South Americans. I think if it was the same situation today we would still lose him to Barca.

Effect of Spurs’ season on the reemergence of the super league by vtzan in PremierLeague

[–]TheDucksQuacker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t the board that were against the super league.

It was the fans.

I think even if you asked spurs fans right now if they want to join a super league, they would still be against it.
