Gotcha. Yeah this is the first season where teams don't drop into the comp below anymore. As they've moved to the league format rather than pools.
It 'should' allow for some unique winners in Europa and Conference.
In what regard?
3 different tiers in European competitions.
Champions League;
Most prize money, larger pot means all teams participating earn a lot more money. Each European league has a number of teams that qualify based on league position. Prem for years has been top 4 get Champions League, could be top 5 this season.
Europa;
Less money, usually the next 2 spots on the table down for qualification. Winner of Europa league gets a spot in the next Champions league if they didn't qualify...
