Chelsea have been playing fairly well for some weeks now so I disagree on that. I have Azpilicueta already so I obviously disagree on that too. And if you want to give me an extra FT I'll be happy to switch out Sanchez for Hazard. :mrgreen:

Costa is in my team so he'll play this weekend (granted he does not get dropped for Remy). Next week, he'll be shipped out regardless, for Kun Aguero.

+1

I have Azpi, and were Sanchez ruled out I would have bought Hazard and most likely captained him. Just the former for now, though.

Hmmm... I just checked again. Chelsea are the 4th highest ranked team in Europe on the UEFA coefficient with 125.7 points, behind RM, Bayern and Barca. Arsenal are the next highest ranked English team with 94.7 points in 10th place. Would that be the ladder you are referring to?

I'm presuming he means the PL table, which orders the teams by points gained from football matches - no coefficient knackers :lol:

I think Ruth has a point re the UEFA coefficient, but then Norwich won the League Cup (twice) some decades ago, so I'd say it's about even.

Nope. :D

That's correct. The ladder that actually means something and most people know about. :D :P :lol:

The UEFA coefficient is gained by success in football matches against the top European opposition.

It is the very poor performance of English teams apart from Chelsea (and to a lesser degree Arsenal) as measured by the UEFA coefficient that threatens the 4th Champions League place currently awarded to the PL. England have already slipped below Germany and are now in 3rd place on the country coefficient. Italy are very close behind in 4th place. If Italy overtake England (which could happen this season) then England will be down to 3 CL spots while Italy will get 4.

It means something alright. :|

I haven't seen Chelsea play one single good match this season and I watched a good share of them. Their campaign in the UCL so far is mediocre as well so I don't know where that coefficient comes from but if the FIFA national teams ranking is anything to go by the last thing I'd look at to determine a team's quality is this coefficient. I don't think Chelsea will drop points in this match but I also don't expect to see a football masterclass.
