You have got the UEFA coefficient rankings totally wrong!
This is incorrect. You have the coefficients all wrong, and the first twelve teams have already been decided i.e. West Ham, Leicester, Real Betis, Real Sociedad, Lazio, Napoli, Bayer Leverkusen, Eintracht Frankfurt, Lyon, Marseille, Sporting Braga, and Locomotive Moscow.

Not looking too bad so far.
Where on earth did you get those UEFA national coefficient rankings from? They are utter nonsense.
What is interesting is Lazio, who you didn’t mention, are in the mix, and given the club co-efficient gap, and depending who gets dumped out the CL in the meantime, we could well meet in the group draw. Interesting prospect.
