@SPFLWatch Imo, beating Fenerbahçe is unlikely, but Sturm Graz might be doable for Hearts. Just need some good draw luck. 🤞🏼

Best scenario for Hearts next season is getting to the Champions League Playoff Round dropping into the Europa. Picking up £10-15m and then getting the basis needed to consistently challenge for titles. They’ll face Sturm Graz or Fenerbahce in the Champions League QR2 - win that and they’ll secure Europa League football

@EpauletteShark9 @ttkraul15622 @fmeetsdata Nope. According to UEFA regulations, if a team in the Conference League spot wins a UEFA competition, that team moves directly to either UEL (if Conf Lg was won) or UCL (if UEL/UCL was won), vacating the Conf Lg p/o spot. (This happened w/ 🇪🇸 & Villarreal in the 2021-22 Conf Lg).

@EfoseO @ttkraul15622 @fmeetsdata Wouldn’t Freiburg spot just slide down to Frankfurt?

✅ CONFIRMED 🇩🇪 Stuttgart become the 22nd team to mathematically secure a place in 2026/27 🔵 UCL league stage! 4⃣ Bundesliga 🇩🇪 slots are now full. Freiburg can join if they win 🟠 UEL 🏆! 🏁 22 down ⏳ 14 to go

@pieandbov Champions League *second qualifying round*. Hearts will be unseeded in all qualifying rounds, so could face difficult opponents in two-legged ties. If Hearts lose three ties in a row, they could even exit Europe entirely before the league stages begin.

Feel so gutted for Hearts, gave it absolutely everything this season and showed massive balls in the run in despite so many things going against them. That spirit was evident again today, so very unlucky in the end. Still an absolutely incredible season and plenty to build on for the next campaign, not to mention Champions League football in Gorgie.

@ttkraul15622 @fmeetsdata Yes. Freiburg would move to UCL league stage and Germany would not enter a team to UECL. Germany’s 7 teams would be allocated 5-2-0 (UCL-UEL-UECL). This may be bad for Germany’s coefficient next season, as 🇩🇪 would miss out on easy (in theory) points from Conf Lg wins.

@fmeetsdata if Freiburg will win UEL, so no German clubs will be in UECL?

@ally_wood82 @MaxRadwan Too mamy draws were also a problem for Arsenal, especially against Man Utd at home & Spurs away.

Number of points taken in last 11 WSL games of the season: Arsenal 29 Man City 25 Another season where a sub par first half of the season cost us a meaningful title challenge

@rooskayaa also the two man utd draws, especially the home draw vs 10 players

it’s the Villa, spurs and (the terribly officiated) home Chelsea draws that cost us the title

@SPFLWatch *in case Dunfermline beat Celtic in the Scottish Cup final; that would mean the Conf Lg qual places don’t drop down to 4th & 5th - instead staying at 3rd & 4th. The 5th place team would miss Europe completely, not even entering a qualifying round.

@SPFLWatch *Guaranteed* Europe *qualifier rounds* (Conference League 2nd qual round to be precise). From there, the 4th placed Scottish team would have to win three (3) qualifying ties, starting late July, to reach the Conference League proper. Lose in any of Q2, Q3 or P/O = no 🇪🇺⚽️ next yr

Really annoying that Hibs vs Motherwell is not available to watch anywhere legally in the UK. Shootout for Europe.

@fmeetsdata So the graphic assumes that the higher placed team (i.e. Viborg) wins the Danish UECL playoff, as it stands?

@EfoseO Not projected, it's as things stand.

🟢 UECL Q2 is the biggest round in UEFA competitions. 📈 A whopping 100 teams participate here: ▪️88 teams in Main path ▪️12 teams in Champions path This is how the seedings look like as of 15 May in the Main path. 👉 Full analysis of seeding positions in qualifying rounds and league stages of 🔵 UCL 🟠 UEL 🟢 UECL in 2026/27 now available on our page (in bio).

Hey ! 🦎🌡️🤯 When Burnoudoron reaches its limit, its head explodes and it evolves. Available for adoption ✨ #pokemon #fakemon #art

@fmeetsdata Hmm… possibly bad news for 🇩🇰 coeff if: a) FCK lose Euro playoff (Sønderjyske/Viborg/Brøndby/FCN likely unseeded in UECL Q2/Q3/PO & risk pre-LS exit) b) FCK win the Euro playoff but lose in UECL Q2/Q3/PO c) FCM reach UEL LS, but also exit in LS (UECL likely better for FCM).

FCK 🇩🇰 lose the 🏆 Cup final so now their last hope for Europe (🟢 UECL Q2) is to win a European playoff against 4th placed team in the league! Midtjylland 🇩🇰 go to 🟠 UEL Q2!

@fmeetsdata For now, Atalanta are favorites. However, that changes if Chelsea finish 8th & lose FA Cup final, &/or Marseille replace Monaco as the 🇫🇷 team. Also, if Freiburg finish 7th and win 🟠UEL, 🇩🇪 won’t have a 🟢UECL team. To answer Q, yes Atalanta winner unless Chelsea join 🟢UECL.

🔝 Big-5 league teams projected to enter 🟢 UECL: 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Brentford (🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Chelsea close behind!) 🇮🇹 Atalanta 🇪🇸 Getafe 🇩🇪 Freiburg 🇫🇷 Monaco 🔵⚫️ Atalanta the winner of 🟢 UECL 2026/27 🏆?

@dlafcp14 @fmeetsdata Only 3-0. Each goal Celtic scores increases Celtic’s goal diff by 1 and decreases Hearts’ goal diff by 1, meaning a 2-goal swing. 6/2=3.

@EfoseO @fmeetsdata They had to beat them 6-0

One of the craziest title races this season in Europe has come to its final step. It's only fitting that it's decided in a direct duel between the two remaining contenders. 🏆 To win Scottish Premiership: 55% 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Celtic 45% 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Hearts

@sk_football1907 I agree with this. In fact, there’s an argument that if 🇮🇹 had qualified, they would actually be worse than some of the top dark horses (e.g. 🇭🇷🇪🇨). My only concerns with 🇪🇨 are a lack of scorers besides Enner Valencia and Beccacece setting up too defensively against weak teams.

Interesting takes 👀 I agree that some of these powerhouses you listed are very vulnerable at the moment They're barely better than the best dark horse tier nations It's gonna be a wide open ⚽🌐 World Cup until the quarters/semis From semis onward it's a closed society

@MathGuyTFL 1/x+1/x = (1+1)/x = 2/x 2/x = x 2 = x*x x = +/-(sqrt(2)) x ~= 1.41421 or -1.41421

Solve for X.

@Elite_4_J Porygon. Both of its evolutions can be achieved by trading with no level-up required.

which pokemon is the only one that can be hatched from an egg, evolve twice and remain level 1 throughout??

@BennIRL19 @Timleon_HSV “1 Tor mehr” bedeutet auch z.B. 2:1, 3:2 oder 4:3. Ich schrieb genau *1:0* (und “ebenso” für der FCH) um zu zeigen, dass der FCSP es schwer kann haben, der Klassenerhalt via der Relegation zu schaffen.

@EfoseO @Timleon_HSV Das ist genau das was @Timleon_HSV geschrieben hat bro

Imagine Pauli gewinnt einfach 1:0 und Heidenheim gewinnt auch mit 1 Tor mehr😂 Einfach Abstieg wegen zu wenig Toren

@fmeetsdata Well apparently 🇳🇴Viking Stavanger would have benefited with the old system because Norway is 11th in the access list, per FMD.

@fmeetsdata With the old system, the 🔵 UCL ticket would go to (as it stands) 🇵🇱 Lech Poznań, current leader of the 🇵🇱 Ekstraklasa. Poland are 11th, right below Czechia in 10th. (Or would that be 🇬🇷 AEK because Greece is 11th with coeff scores up to 25/26?)

📈 Teams directly promoted to 🔵 UCL due to UCL rebalancing: 2024: 🇺🇦 Shakhtar (🔺 from PO) 2025: 🇬🇷 Olympiacos (🔺 from Q2) 2026: 🇺🇦 Shakhtar (🔺 from Q2) 🇺🇦 Shakhtar Donetsk are the biggest beneficiaries of UEFA's new system introduced in 2024! Pre-2024, when 🔵 UCL winner qualified to UCL via domestic league, their direct UCL ticket was transferred to the champion of highest ranked COUNTRY that doesn't have a club directly in UCL (country ranked 11th). From 2024 onwards, the system was changed and that direct 🔵 UCL ticket is given to the highest ranked CLUB in UCL qualifiers, regardless of their country's position in ranking. 🇺🇦 Shakhtar Donetsk was that club in 2 of the 3 years since the new system was introduced!
