Now it's again time for the never ending battle of doom!
Beklager det engelske, men gætter på det ikke er noget problem for de fleste.
The battle for the 15th spot, all buttons are green and ready for war.
http://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uef ... k2017.html
14 Greece 22.100 5/ 5
15 Romania 21.050 5/ 5
16 Croatia 20.125 4/ 4
17 Austria 17.975 4/ 4
18 Sweden 16.975 4/ 4
19 Norway 16.950 4/ 4
20 Belarus 16.875 4/ 4
21 Poland 15.875 4/ 4
22 Denmark 15.500 4/ 4
23 Scotland 14.550 4/ 4
The cut:
Well, sorry Netherlands (13th spot), it isn't that we don't wanna play with you and could be nice to have participatiens of some good dutch people, but I feel it wouldn't really makes sense.
And sorry Azerbaijan (24th) and Cyprus (25th). The same goes for you, and the cut needs to be somewhere.
If you perform well, we might rethink so you can participate as well.

Now, those in question.
Greece
dispite of what it seemed to be, the best teams are in.
Only Asteras Tripolis (14.420) are out.
Next season it is a bad season which will be left out, so Greece might be sure top 15 in a little time yet, but with the licens problems and the economic problems in the country in general the next seasons might be interesting.
Romania
Seems to have some of the same problems.
Also CFR Cluj (16.210) didn't obtain license, which can be a problem for Romania.
Also they are loosing a good season next.
Croatia
At first glance favourite to go in top 15 together with Greece?
Lead by Dinamo Zagreb
Austria
Top 3 teams are in, and are loosing a bad season next.
Got good cards on their hand.
Sweden
Haven't choosen their european teams carefull
Malmö FF, IF Elfsborg and Helsingborg IF out. 3 out of top 4 coefficient teams.
Also more players still in France for the Icelandic NT. Shouldn't affect the teams, but let's see.
Norway
One of last seasons most impressive teams, Molde, is out. (The highest team of this countries who are missing out)
Also Tromsø IL is out, 2 of the best 3 teams will not participate. Rosenborg can be interesting though and if I remeber right Odd have surprised some big teams before also.
Belarus
Is it fair to say borring league, so much of the favourites are in?
Of course BATE is the leading team.
Poland
Lech Poznan and Slask Wroclaw out.
Same as Sweden, more players in France,
Again shouldn't affect the teams, but let's see.
Denmark
The semi-high coefficient teams as Esbjerg, Nordsjælland and Aalborg are out. But they aren't really in the strength they have been, so not a big loss.
København, Midtjylland and Brøndby should be the best teams to achieve point both now and in the future.
Aalborg could have been nice to have been the fourth, but oh well.
The 4th spot are for SønderjyskE, who I predict will get a difficult 2nd season, but let's see if they can keep the momentum dispite of being unseeded all the way.
Scotland
With Glasgow Rangers back in 1st tier, I believe the league will get a rise in general, maybe not already this season, but let's see.
Celtic will be interesting to follow. They will loose a quite good season, so last season to have good chances, if they don't perform.
