My mate in Australia has this, he says the best part about it is all the money goes to the club and not sky.

I somewhat agree but reckon it would dilute the competition even further if all of the TV rights went to a couple of clubs.

That's the Barca/Real problem longterm.

Provided the matches themselves are sold as a league it's probably fine to give Celtic their own U20 games and interviews and 12hr delayed replays

Teams in darker shade are confirmed in the respective pot, lighter shaded ones are qualified, but can still move to another pot, i.e. Plop move to Pot 2 if Benfica doesn't qualify.

Pot 1 = CL Winner + EL Winner + Top 6 champions, Pot 2-4 sorted by coefficient.

Liverpool runners up last season in pot 3, lol.

Russia is considered the 6th best league so their champions go into pot 1.

Spain has 3 pot 1 teams because they have the CL and Europa League holders in Real and Atletico while Barca won the league.

5 for Standard Liège? I would pile on that. Ajax probably going through, but those odds are ridiculous

seems like Malmö is going to fail to go through the hungarian giants Videoton.

Fener seem to have the exact same team every year. Nice mix of turks and washed up former stars from bigger leagues.
