UEFA Champions League Seasons: Club Coefficients For Group Stage Clubs Part 2

Posted on December 16, 2010 8:45 PM

For the past ten UEFA Champions League Group Stages (First Group Stage in seasons with more than one) here is a comparison of the Bottom 14 Group Stage (hereafter B14) clubs and the Top 14 (hereafter T14) coefficient clubs that didn’t play in that season’s Group Stage:

2010-2011: B14 had a mean coefficient of 29.183 and a mean rank of 85.214, T14 had a mean coefficient of 72.941 and a mean rank of 19.964

2009-2010: B14 had a mean coefficient of 24.720 and a mean rank of 100.750, T14 had a mean coefficient of 68.574 and a mean rank of 20.321

2008-2009: B14 had a mean coefficient of 36.760 and a mean rank of 84.107, T14 had a mean coefficient of 73.086 and a mean rank of 21.571

2007-2008: B14 had a mean coefficient of 45.808 and a mean rank of 49.536, T14 had a mean coefficient of 67.379 and a mean rank of 23.286

2006-2007: B14 had a mean coefficient of 36.501 and a mean rank of 66.929, T14 had a mean coefficient of 67.418 and a mean rank of 21.000

2005-2006: B14 had a mean coefficient of 31.772 and a mean rank of 84.893, T14 had a mean coefficient of 70.480 and a mean rank of 19.929

2004-2005: B14 had a mean coefficient of 37.789 and a mean rank of 72.143, T14 had a mean coefficient of 64.077 and a mean rank of 22.300

2003-2004: B14 had a mean coefficient of 46.773 and a mean rank of 56.179, T14 had a mean coefficient of 83.462 and a mean rank of 18.714

2002-2003: B14 had a mean coefficient of 42.628 and a mean rank of 67.643, T14 had a mean coefficient of 71.383 and a mean rank of 22.250

2001-2002: B14 had a mean coefficient of 41.245 and a mean rank of 61.036, T14 had a mean coefficient of 70.896 and a mean rank of 19.179

Ten year mean: B14 had a mean coefficient of 37.318 and a mean rank of 72.843, T14 had a mean coefficient of 70.970 and a mean rank of 20.851

The mean number of clubs in the Top 32 coefficients for a season but not in the Group Stage that season was 13.8 and that’s why I put 14 clubs in each group I compared.
