Is there much difference between the 9th best team in europe and the 24th though? Uefas coefficients has leipzig 9th and ajax 24th. Yes you'd probably prefer to draw ajax if last seasoon was anything to go by. But if you have a big prem game coming up you might take the risk.

Doubt it will change, they will just have Champions League, Europa League and Conference League.

Ineos is "confident" of finding a solution that allows Manchester United and Nice to compete in next season's Europa League.
Sir Jim Ratcliffe's Ineos company owns a 27.7% stake in United and are in control of the club's football operations, while they completed a takeover of French club Nice in 2019.
Uefa rules restrict the influence any organisation can have over more than one club in the same competition.
An independent panel will rule on the matter before next season's competition starts in the middle of July with the qualifying rounds.
Uefa's regulations meant Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise had to alter its ownership structure last season to allow it to compete in the Europa League alongside Brighton, whose owner Tony Bloom had been a pivotal figure for both clubs.
Aston Villa and Portuguese side Vitoria Guimaraes faced the same scenario in the Europa Conference League.
It is also a situation Emirates Marketing Project and Spanish side Girona will have to address this summer given they are both part of the City Football Group and have qualified for next season's Champions League.
If a solution is not found United would have to drop into the Conference League as they finished lower in the Premier League last season than fifth-placed Nice did in Ligue 1.
However Ineos is confident that scenario will be avoided.
"We are aware of the position of both clubs and are in direct dialogue with Uefa," it said.
"We are confident we have a route forward for next season in Europe."
Ineos also owns Swiss Super League club FC Lausanne-Sport, but they have not qualified for European competition

Could be handy for squad rotations/integrations ... especially for us

Interesting to see how they are going to deal (circumnavigate..roll eyes) this.

I think this looks ripe for winning.
The current qualifiers don't look scary at all. And no teams that look like 'up and coming' types . Eg Roma/Lazio.
And with no CL drop ins to muddy the path later...we should be all in.
Bilbao are a danger...with the lure of being at home in the final.

Not much to be bothered about being confused of. It's a league of 36 teams, where you get to play 8 of them. 2 from each of the 4 pots. Get as many points as possible. That's it. If you're among the top 8, you get 1 less round, as those from 9th to 24th will have to fight it out to get to the knock out rounds.

What about girona and city?
Some of us just like to understand how it all works.
I din't know the playoff was just one leg (as you suggest).

I don't think it is?
I don't know. Just going by kandi saying finish top 8 is one less game.
Cl especially it might be worth more to play in a 2 legged playoff.

It's two legs. But now you're just being difficult and pedantic.
How am i being difficult and pedantic? The league is one leg games. You said the playoffs are one extra game.

I meant one round. You're being difficult because you want this to be difficult. The only difference is the initial league. Everything else is as its always been. Knock out rounds are always home and away.
It's a totally new format that is overly complicated. Asking how it works isn't being difficult. You giving wrong information makes it difficult.
You could have just said i meant one round. That would be cool. No probs.

It’s not hard I read the format once and it’s stuck and I don’t give a floating-brick about European games.
Just remember that Italian teams will be on drugs if there is money to be made and every one else will be out bribing each other to buy the officials.
It’s a load of old toss, all of it.

I’d go for something really radical like ‘UEFA Cup’.
