While that is a decent list to start working from, I agree with Rebs. Sevilla, Porto and Napoli would deserve to be in the "European League" much more than Everton or Spurs.

Also I would never give seeds to teams becase they are the strongest or have a great history. All should fight for the right to be there, and if a fan favorite fails to do it, well they can try again next year.

If you are to do a Superleague i think it should be based on Uefa Coeficient.

After that we should keep the national leagues and do a Playoff for 2 or 3 places every year between the champions of all the national leagues.

Currently the top 20 is as follows

1 Real Madrid
2 Bayern München
3 FC Barcelona
4 Atlético Madrid
5 Chelsea
6 Benfica
7 Paris Saint-Germain
8 Juventus
9 Borussia Dortmund
10 Arsenal
11 Schalke 04
12 Valencia
13 Manchester City
14 Zenit St. Petersburg
15 FC Porto
16 Napoli
17 FC Basel
18 Bayer Leverkusen
19 Sevilla
20 Manchester United

Why not just go by coefficients :p. Instead of some arbiterary I think these teams deserve to be there ?


Yeh i agree, FC Basel, Schalke, Valencia should all be in a top 20 super league

Why do Napoli deserve that right then? Porto qualify every year but this year they are poor. Napoli have not been good since losing Cavani in Europe anyway. Sevilla do well in Europa league i guess but i put them to battle it out with others to get into it. The likes of Everton and Spurs get in it due to what they are doing now in England however i am all for putting them into the qualifier play off types to battle into it.

Does it mean they have to play Superliga and CL? Where they have time for this?

I dont like an international league, I prefer what CL is doing (Groupstage & single elimination).

Well I haven't checked but I would bet Napoli and Sevilla have more EL/national trophies and CL/EL appearances than Everton in the last 20 years. Also I would favor them if they were to play the english club. Hell I think Sevilla would beat them consistently.

But as I said, discussion is pointless because no team "deserves that right". There should be some bigger competition (let's say they would skip CL for a year) to decide who qualifies to be in that top 20 elite teams. Then every year the bottom two or three teams in that elite league would "demote" to their own national leagues. The rest would have a CL type of competition to choose what two or three teams enter it each year. That's how I see it at least, makes it kinda fair.

I have to admit that it is very unlikely, in the basis that there's no way they are gonna skip CL and there's no room for more games. The schedule of games is already super tight. If there is such a league, it's probably going to be made by some dudes hand-picking names from a list because of their history and marketing value and other bs. That way, bad teams like Chelsea or Liverpool will be favored over good teams like Sevilla

I hope you do realize putting in 7 english teams in 16 teams, whilst only having 3 spanish sides is RIDICULOUSLY biased towards EPL? I dont think Everton, Tottenham, ManU and Chelsea would win against Sevilla or Valencia in their current state tbh. And to be fair we will probably see how Liverpool plays against a spanish side in EL soon.

A superleague is a terrible idea anyways. So many clubs even in the top leagues are already weak financially, just imagine another league with clasico tier matches every day siphoning even more money away from national leagues. So many clubs would disappear, taking away all the things they do in their community, jobs, urban decay from their empty facilities etc.

Well Man City when playing poor bear Sevilla home and away for fun. Add in Liverpool and Spurs beat man city "easily" (4-1 and 3-0 respectively) then i think i would stand up to that. Also Valencia are in danger of getting sucked into a relegation right now. So i would easily back all of those teams to beat Sevilla and Valencia yeah.

The only way this league works is if the leagues they play in they do not exist and they play once a week inside this mega league. You can't play it alongside another league, you can play along domestic cup competitions though but this mega league would have to be the once a week games.

Yeah the big reason it wouldn't have any English teams in is that the premier league would throw enough money at any club not leaving English league.

Sevilla is the most bipolar team that I have seen. 17 consecutive victories at home, but they have not won away this season.

CL is perfect, we dont need any "next level" tournament. Abundance will kill (football) interests anyway. UEFA should just remove the new seeds (since 2015/2016) for Groupstage (one russia and portugal team is always in pot 1, 2nd place in la liga or PL means you are in pot 2).

edit: this new seeds is the reason why we had Real/PSG and ManC/Juve groustages.

There is no interpretation lol.

He said what he said you and you said what you say He said these teams in their current state are not very good and would lose. He didnt elaborate why, but he doesnt really have to.

That has nothing to do with City beating Sevilla and Liverpool beating City therefore Liverpool > Sevilla logic.

Nothing at all. Its not even remotely the same. You just pulled an analogy from nowhere and if anything putting words in his mouth.

Clubs change form across the season. Sevilla was in a crisis in Octover/November and were in last positions in league. Now they are 5th and with 17 wins streak at home.

You never can't use the x> y > z logic.

I think you can

Rosenborg won the norwegian league last season, far ahead of molde. molde beat sevilla the previous match those teams played. So Rosenborg should be in top 20.

Also, Neymar sentenced to pay €45 million cuz of tax evasion? More than half his net worth from what I'm reading, but he's still pretty comfortable. Nevertheless, I guess that doesn't feel too great. ,p
