| The new format of european cups have damaged the country competition for the top 10 since it is almost impossible to have any change at these positions which will make difference to the countries spots at access list. Although there is a nice battle from places 11-15. 7 countries are battling for these places (might some other lower country grab a place too if their clubs earn much points but not likely)
11th-12th countries secures 2 group spots since champion will take part at EL if fail at their qualifiers and CW has direct spot . Champion starts at Q4, runner up at Q3, CW at group stage, N3 at Q3, N4 at Q2
13th-14th countries have champion starts at Q3, runner up at Q3, CW at Q3, N3 and N4 at Q2
15th country champion starts at Q2, runner up at Q3, CW at Q3, N3 and N4 at Q2
16th and lower countries have just champion at CL starting at Q2 and 3 clubs at EL
We should also consider that CH holder or/and EL holder might open places if they qualify at CL at their domestic leagues so there might be differences and 11th place might have more advantages that 12th and 13th more than 14th.

11th Netherlands 27.433 2/5

PSV CL (Barcelona, Tottenham, Inter)
