36 teams in one big group. Every team plays 8 games against 8 different opponents. For that they have a draw from 4 different pots similar to how they do group stage draws now. Every team draws two opponents from each pot.
After group stage #1-8 advance to the round of 16. #9-24 play home and away games for the remaining 8 spots. Seeding based on group stage performance so #1 and #2 can't meet before the final.
