Can anyone explain how they work out the points for the current season? Admittedly, we're not showing well in the CL, but to be the reigning PL champs and still 3000 points behind Arsenal? How does that work? Are the European games rated that much higher than national standings?Numptyed said:This website will show you just how close to pot 3 we are, also they redused the points you receive in 2009 per game, coincidence?

It's mega important that we make the Europa league and do well our coefficient points are made up of the last 5 years points and next year we lose 20 points from 08/09 when Hamburg beat us, last year we won 3 groupe games and some Europa games won the league and only got 0.5 more points than we did in 08/09. If we don't start winning Europien games we will be in pot 3/4 next year.another generation said:Can anyone explain how they work out the points for the current season?

Edit: Have now read the handy little explanation on the very same website! So, in summary, you've got to be in Europe to get points. Correct?
Europe League football is needed as we need more ranking points. If we end up in t we should aim to win the EL.Bojinov The Bull said:...would you rather us finish 4th in the group and give more time to focusing on winning the league/FA cup again or would you rather us finish 3rd and go in to the Europa League?
