No more surprises in CL

And there will be less surprises with the new system, as the 5 qualifiying champions will certainly not have all been there when all the 10(15?) non-champions qualifiers would be in the same qualification-competition.
I expect less surprises from the pot-4 teams, leading automatically to less surprises in pot 2 & 3 (in pot 1 there are hardly any surprises anymore as have been shown above )

Ricardo, it would lead to more surprises in pots 2-3, because everything could be determined in the 2 matches between them.

The pot-1 team who finished 4th of their group was Manchester United I think but who was the pot-4 team which reached the quarters? Fenerbahce?

Fenerbahce was indeed in pot 4 and reached the quarterfinals by beating Sevilla on penalties in 2007-2008.

thanks @scapulaire24!

according to your stats,
the percentage distribution for reached positions and stages (which means for example: 100% of all winners came from pot1 before and so on):
4th (out):    45,0% Pot4 / 37,5% Pot3 / 15,0% Pot2 / 2,5% Pot1

3rd (EL): 45,0% Pot4 / 37,5% Pot3 / 15,0% Pot2 / 2,5% Pot1

Round of 16: 47,5% Pot1 / 35,0% Pot2 / 12,5% Pot3 / 5,0% Pot4

Quarters: 57,5% Pot1 / 32,5% Pot2 / 7,5% Pot3 / 2,5% Pot4

Semi-final: 80,0% Pot1 / 15,0% Pot2 / 5,0% Pot3

Final: 100,0% Pot1

Winner: 100,0% Pot1

I think this year will be more soprise in CL/GS than last few years.
From pot 1 Sevilla and Arsenal can be elimineted from the next round,from pot 2 Sporting and Alkmar! Who can pass from pot 3 and pot 4? Probably Dinamo Kijev,Wolfsburg and Rubin,but all anothers clubs has chance too.I hope we will watch interesting season with many soprise in EL!

You are thinking too much ...
Everything is based on the draws, and nothing else. And Sporting is not qualified yet, they have TWO rounds to pass. And the last time SEvilla played the CLGS, they won their group ...

Last time Sevilla was much stronger than now.Maybe they can pass group now too,but it will be very defecult.
I expecting from 3 champions, from 3th and 4th pot,Dinamo Kijev,Wolfsburg and Rubin to pass group,they are strong,but it will also depend about draw.

First of all - very interesting statistic.

As to surprises I think that the new system will lead to even fewer surprises (if possible). The reason being that clubs in pot 3 & 4 will be weaker with the 5 spots allocated to contries 13-51, whereas pot 1 & 2 remains more or less unchanged.

Well, not necessary, we will see in a few years.

Some good teams could play the EL 2-3 times and collect enough points to sneak a spot in pot B or even A (Sevilla) and change the seeding.

And the pot3 will not be really different, while the 4th will be. If one team end with 0 points, there is more chance for the pot3 team to sneak a win and ends 2nd.

Again, we will see in a few years

Interesting statistics. Shows it pays to be a pot1 team then!

It's not too surprising to see that it's hit or miss for pot two and three teams and pot 4 teams struggle more often.

There's usually one anomoly each year (like Fener the year they did really well) but in general the big teams, no matter how the draw, seeding or whatever options for Uefa there are, make the most of the competitions...

Ah, nice to have prove that the CL does get more predictable

But could you have a look again at the distributen for R of 16 losers and onwards? they are the same for both time periods, which has to be wrong, I think you made a c&p mistake there.
