Yeah, 5th and 6th go to the play-off round, 7th place goes to the 3rd qualifying round.
 
no matter what happens Sunday we start at the same place

we could play a tough team before we even get to the groups, PSV, PSG, Lokomotiv, Porto...

Will we not be a seeded team??
 
Getting giddy just talking about the obscure rounds, silly UEFA rules and regulations and the strange places we'll go. Can't wait!

wiki tells me the clubs are separated by seeded and nonseeded based on club coefficient. I don't know what goes into the coefficient aside from recent European history so aside from last season I don't know if that give us enough to be seeded or not.

Either way it shouldn't be taken lightly, Villa and Zenit lost in last years playoff round to Rapid Wien and Nacional respectively, not even getting to the groups would be the ultimate embarassment.
 
Last time when we got in we were not seeded first draw but Motherwell were.

I am hoping for AZ.
 
The Europa League will be fun! Of course it means more matches but more City is great and we'll be on TV a lot. I love watching us in Europe. That game in Scandinavia somewhere, at what looked like a Sunday league ground, was surreal. We scored with seconds to go, Corluka's last match wasn't it?

His last match was 3-0 at Sunderland the day before transfer deadline, but papers reported the winning pen would be his last kick in that Midgey game.
 
here are a lot of numbers and mathematics I'm too stupid to interpret but maybe in here it tells us if we are to be seeded or not

It doesn't as not all qualifiers are known. For example if teams like liverpool get through to our round we move down the pecking order.

guess we won't find out until later in the summer then. Oh well.
 
From looking at current teams and possibles I would say it is at least 50/50 that we get seeded.
