Olypiacos are 43 but they have to lose over 2 legs to Omonia to fall into Europa. The tie is represented in the model by Omonia. The 6 champions league playoff ties lose their way to Europa so the model shows the lower coefficient.

That’s a very best case scenario way of looking at it 😂

What would people prefer, get to the final of this and finish 8th or knocked out early and finish 4th?

It depends how we get to the final. If we deservedly beat some of the bigger teams in the competition, like Benfica, Milan, Sevilla, whoever ends up in it, then I would take it because we would presumably genuinely have a chance at winning. If we grind our way in against the likes of FC Copenhagen then there's not much point, the other finalist would probably stomp us, especially considering Rodgers' record against teams a level above us.

Really want another CL adventure so unless we win it would prefer 4th. however, if fans are able to go to the final then surely a european final is a big tick box ......

Great question, a hard  one non the less, I’m going for option A, because it’s a European cup final, which if we won anyway we could get champions league football, 

[The Bear]

Depends if you win the final, surely?

Looking for wins for Slavia Prague, Krasnodar and Salzburg tonight and Olympiacos tomorrow night to help with the seeding - Would also like Gent to go out to Dynamo Kiev as a potential Pot 1 or 2 team id rather go to Belgium than Ukraine.

[Ric Flair]

I know I've more chance of waking up as David Neres and forcing a move to Leicester, but I'd love us to get Salzburg and experience the away game at their gaff. Their atmosphere in the CL last season was very good.

Are you sure Ric they are supported by a bunch of plastics. The original fans are all behind Austria Salzburg in the fourth tier

Slavia Prague drew, Salzburg and Krasnodar both won.

2 legs in the CL, so we will see how they go next week, but looking good.

Prague might struggle to go through, so that would be another team with a better rating than us. 
Some big games for us coming up this week.

Damn! I thought they were all single games still. 

Edit post to half time scores in those games....

[Guest Lako42]

Can see all European comps being delayed at some point. 

 

Can't believe they are still doing 2 legs

Haha plastics must make a lot of noise as their game vs Liverpool sounded decent!

This is a great point. That's what made Seville so magical for us beating the likes of Liverpool, Blackburn, Celta Vigo and Stuttgart on the way to the final.

Beligan side Charleroi massive favorites to take out Partizan Belgrade tomorrow.

Get to the final and finish 8th 100%
 

Leicester in a European final

Only if we won it. 4th and out in group stage over 8th and final.

 

However, 17th and Win Europa league is a better season than runner up in Prem and out in EL group.

[HybridFox]

Can see us f***** this off due to injuries/limited squad. Prove me wrong Brendan 

[twister]

next ten days will dictate the approach to this, no bodies in and i cant see how this squard can compete on two fronts.

 

 

[Rigga]

No way are we taking EL seriously..

The squad is thin on quality so expect a similar looking team that we saw tonight with the odd splattering of Soyuncu , Youri and Barnes.
Sad times..

 

[Aus Fox]

I can’t think of a single reason not to take the competition seriously? 
Let’s rest a few players and go out early, so we might qualify for Europe next season - where is the logic?
