There are 125 matches in total being played in the Champions League and we have left 96 matches behind with the group stage. We have left nearly 77% of the pool behind if we look at it in terms of Pot A. If I understood the statement above correctly for Pot B we have left only the 60% part behind. Meaning if you are behind in Pot B your chance to climb upwards is much higher compared to Pot A.
Oh wait, Im confused so how is it different between pot A and B? Its the same total of matches being played after the end of the group stage. In terms of catching up I guess it will be alot easier to catch up on pot A compared to pot B if you are way behind the competition. We probably wont get any underdog lucky win again top 16 so even by consistently manage to get atleast 20 points on each round might not be a guarantee to be on top 10 by the end of the UCL.
I've arranged Pot B to have the same "matchday" as Superbru -- or at least, how I believe matchday are organised in Superbru based on how I remember last season.
So both pots should involve the same games -- but even if not, it shouldn't matter.
Pot A max points dwindles as it's a hard 3 points max per game + 3 Slam points per MD. There will soon be a point -- likely on MD9 when we will even know many winners. Pot B can still throw up many more points depending on outcomes -- and how people stake. Little will be certain until after the final.
