It's a Catch-22 for the Eredivisie. We're getting so many points, because we have 1 really strong club in the CL, 1 average club in EL and 3 average clubs in the UCL.

We're getting most points because of the addition of the ECL and well of course Ajax's fantastic season.

Dutch right now have the most coefficient points of any FA in Europe this season. It's most important for all teams to stay in the competition as long as possible and either win or draw. Advancing clubs collect bonus points as well. The gap with Portugal can be closed if the results continue to hold.
Appie Nouri will forever be remembered for his grace and humanity on and off the pitch!

Absolutely. We are in danger :blush.gif: of moving up to 6th or even 5th in the co-efficients over the next couple years. I hope PSV/Feyenoord are ready to make the move to CL when that does happen.

I was hoping for a 5-1, so got better than I wished for. We have let in 2 goals in 10 games in the Eredivisie. With our 3rd choice GK. This is mad.

We always knew PSV was going to complain about the lack of rest since they played on Thursday. They can keep crying. So many times over the past many seasons, Ajax has been the only Dutch club which is still in Europe.
Totally right! PSV dropped out of Europe many times to focus on the eredivisie. Ajax were the only team to score point in the uefa ranking. And still ajax won the league and had succes in Europe. And thanks to the succes of ajax, there’s a chance that 2 teams from NL can directly enter the CL. Suddenly I’m rooting for Feyenoord or AZ. :hypocrite.gif:

However, if we accidentally get more teams into the CL, I worry about the net loss of points year over year.

If Ajax have some form of sustainability, then either next year or the year after pre changes to the champions league format (2023-24). 1st and 2nd place in the Eredivisie go directly to the champions league. third place go into a play off which likely means Europa league football. This is why teams like PSV and Feyenoord have to step up! In any event, regardless, if the senior staff members at Ajax carry on the strategy, who knows, Ajax might remain a force to be reckoned with for years to come. No guarantee but who knows? Didn't we always used to target 2nd place in the CL qualifiers? Now look, winning by 4 or 5 goal margins in the group stages.
