8. Austria (not just Salzburg)
In the aggregate 5-year-ranking, Salzburg accounts for roughly half (46.1%) of our points.
That's middle of the road among comparable countries:
Rangers 46.0% (Celtic 38.2%)
Crvena zvezda 53.6% (Partizan 34.1%)
Shakhtar Donetsk :( 46.9% (Dynamo Kyiv 33.0%)
Basel 45.6% (YB 37.7%)
Olympiacos 44.4% (PAOK 28.3%)
FC København 52.3% (FC Midtjylland 25.2%)
The big exception in this region of the coefficient table is Belgium, where Brugge, Gent, Genk, and Standard Liège
(unlike the underperforming Anderlecht) all contribute similarly, but none of them has made as many points
individually as the other countries' big-hitters mentioned above.
Our second-biggest contributor has been the surprising LASK (23.4%), who this year netted almost as
many points (3.7) in the ECL as Salzburg did by reaching the CL Round of 16 (3.8).
Unfortunately, it looks like LASK and their coveted seeded status won't make it into Europe next
season.
I guess without Salzburg, we'd probably be somewhere between 20th and 25th, where we were before
Red Bull entered in 2005. Without the other teams also stepping up, we'd be similar to Bulgaria,
Croatia, or Sweden (with just Ludogorets, Dinamo Zagreb, and Malmö collecting significant points).
13. Scotland
Underlines how having four teams in the group stages is even more important than reaching a European final.
The majority of points is won in autumn.
At least, in the current set-up. Who knows what it's going to be like in three years' time when all
of this will have been thrown out of the window by UEFA.
Ciao,
