Nobody drops down into EL this season. Bottom 12 straight out, top 24 through in either automatic or play-offs. I THINK.

Looks mad Also makes a mockery of country protection. I don't know. I assumed it was two draws for knockout play-offs then round of 16 til you mentioned it. When it goes to round of 16 surely it has to be a draw. I am not sure.

He is a good guy and poster. I think he might be wrong on this one though. I am pretty sure it's random draws. Fergus seems to know too. But who knows.

Mbappe and Vini has potential for him though though. Could be Mighty Wings.

Thanks. That sentence to me reads like a general draw, not actually single placements minus a draw. But it is very vague, you are right.

Zidane was a maverick as a player to be fair. Maybe he isn't as a coach.

I said when it was announced this format would be good. It looked good from the start - the Swiss system seems to work well in practice. It could just be the novelty factor. But I think people are resistant to change. The biggest cons are more games for the players and unique fixture lists per...

Thanks mate. Wonder what source Rassvet is using?

That's weird. On wikipedia (yes I know, but it is generally right) it says there will be a draw for the knockout play-offs, then the round of 16. I tend to be very into formats and permutations so I figured I knew this well, but... It's pretty unclear though.

Like Harry Potter finally finding platform 9 3/4

I don't think it works like that. If you finish 1st or 8th, you go into the random pot. Equally, 9th doesn't play 24th, 10th doesn't play 23rd etc, it's a random draw between the segments. Open to being corrected if I am wrong, though.

True, but I mean by people saying MIlan were all over them. But yeah, in terms of the actual result, not a trashing. It sounds like the performance was and an even bigger hammering is coming, though.

Dark haired people who are anti blond.

Being in the top 8 ensures being seeded for round of 16, plus at home second, which is an advantage. But I do see your point.

He gets by on vibes and being cool and collected. He seemed better tactically earlier in his coaching career. Any tactical changes he makes are basic enough for most coaches to spot similar.

They did get trashed tonight really. But I assume you mean they'll concede 5, 6 goals.

Ten Hag is available...

Like I say, upsets are happening a lot right now. 'Lesser' teams seem to be stepping up sometimes in different leagues and Europe. And teams like RM, Arsenal and Man City are in a really bad moment.

1/7 for me tonight. 3/9 in total. That's poor, BUT lots of upsets. Edit, sorry, 2/7. Liverpool and B Dortmund.

@Temptation Should have kept to original Monaco prediction :(
