    New Champions League draw system

    Now that we are talking about CL (for different reasons) I will do ma suggestion, based in a system semi-real (LOL).

    As we know the actual rule, divide teams in 4 POTS, 1st with the winner + the 7 winners of the better leagues and 3 POTS depend of UEFA coeficient of teams.

    I'm sure that can be difficult to create something like a coeficient of CL and for example, and do a ranking of the teams based in CL history to do the groups so, my suggestion is that every group have to have a League winner, a 2nd, a 3rd and a 4th.

    That simple. I think is really a fair rule, guarantee variety no?

    Your proposal was good if the leagues of the same level were similar in terms of team power, but we all now this is completely wrong. I'm plenty of examples where team 4th in a league are much worst than the ones that won other leagues of the same level...

    ..in fact my advise in order to win without big amount of token consumption is not to be very strong, but to find the right equilibrium...and to be not too much strong! I can clarify if it may interest!
