    Shaping up nicely now that all 7 direct entrants to the Group stages have been decided.

    The group stages have 31 teams who will have come through from the play-off round (entrants at that stage include Kiev, Fiorentina, Feyenoord, Spartak, Alkmaar), 10 losers from the Champions League play-off round, and the other 7 teams who enter directly at that stage: Valencia, Bordeaux, Lazio, Anzhi, Freiburg, Guimaraes, and of course Latics :)

    What date does the actual draw for the group stages take place?

    Championship fixtures a week today :woohoo: :woohoo: :woohoo:

    Hoping to quadruple my away days this season.

    48 teams play in the group stage.

    The 48 teams will be allocated into four pots based on their 2013 UEFA club coefficients. They will be drawn into twelve groups of four, with the restriction that teams from the same association cannot be drawn against each other.

    Wigan Athletic have a club coefficient – somehow – of 16.592.

    The other teams who have qualified;
    Valencia CC: 102.605
    Bordeaux CC: 59.800
    Lazio CC: 41.829
    Anzhi Makhachkala CC: 20.266
    Freiburg CC: 15.922
    Vitória de Guimarães CC: 14.333

    We get the 16.592 by virtue of being English. There are two parts to the calculation – some points based on country (20% of the English coefficient) and some based on previous European results. We obviously have none of the latter, so start with 20% of the English coefficient.

    Surprisngly Germany have a lower national coefficient than England which explains how we have a higher figure than Freiburg, and also than Guimaraes of Portugal.

      That sounds like we’ll be drawn in a pot with Freiburg and Guimares which is a bit of a pisser tbh

      Saying that I’d take Bordeaux and Valencia for away days any day of the week

      Thanks, garswood.

      So Swansea have the same (English) coefficient of 16.592.

      The Welsh representatives are;
      Prestatyn Town CC: 0.516
      Airbus UK Broughton CC: 0.516
      Bala Town CC: 0.516

      No – we’ll probably be in a pot with them, which means we won’t play them. We’ll play one of the top 12 at least.

        Wigan Athletic
        Limassol

            Yes that’s what I said

            My point being I wouldn’t mind going to Freiburg or Guimares

            I’ve been to Guimares. Not much there, but Porto is an hour away it’s a fantastic city.

            If you’re only half OK, I don’t know about the rest of YOU!

              Looks a nice place, UNESCO world heritage site and like you say close to Porto and Braga.
              Saying that probably not the ideal place to hang up a ‘Ashton Goons On Tour’ flag
