Hi everyone. I am a passionate follower of the country coefficients and rankings and wanted to open a thread since I haven't seen one active recently. After Galatasaray's qualification to last 16 in the CL, Turkiye's points took a boost from 5.000 to 6.400 since Galatasaray got 5 big bonus points for advancing and 3 points for the win. (If Fenerbahce won the game against M'bach, we would have 6.800!) It seems like we will finish this year as the 12th, since we are 3.300 points below Greece and 4.025 above Switzerland. Both of these two countries have only one team left in the competitions, we have two. Do you think we can finish above Greece at the end of the year (or even Belgium, which also 3.500 points above)? This pretty much means that both Galatasaray and Fenerbahce need to at least advance to last 8 and that the Greek and Belgian teams do badly.
Here is how it looks so far on the Bert Kassies's UEFA ranking site:
