According to Wikipedia we get two Europa slots and one ECL spot
I bloody watched Liechtenstein v Gibraltar the other day! I rather enjoyed it to be honest. I'd say it was probably League 2 or maybe high end Conference standard. No rolling about. No diving. Just kick and run.
I think this round is the group runners up Vs the Europa drop outs. Group winners rejoin in the next round of games
Shit fact just learnt: Liechtenstein doesn't have a domestic league so whoever wins the Liechtenstein cup every year gets into Europe irrespective of their coefficient ranking. They'll go into the conference league instead of europa next season

The teams that topped the groups get a pass to the next stage. Same happened to Roma. It's the same formula for Europa League too.
Imagine having to be involved in this shit
Learn to see things from other peoples perspective.
For countries like Scotland, Holland, Moldova, Hungary or equivalent its probably quite a big deal.
League Cup winners.
As long as they don't finish in one of the other European places of course.
And what happens if they do? Does it go to the other finalist or next in the PL after Europa slots?
I don't mind the Nations League. I think it's especially good for the lower nations. Instead of getting spanked in meaningless friendlies against teams 10/20 places above them, they get to play against nations of similar standings. Making there games more interesting, competitive (to both players and fans) and they can geta nice little trophy at the end of it along with promotion.
Same goes for the top nations, they'll learn more playing against similar ranked teams rather than having easy wins against minnows.
From 21-22, CL will be 1st-4th, Europa league will be only 5th place and fa cup winner and 6th will be ECL or EFL cup winner or 7th if 1-6 win fa cup

We lost one EL spot (the qualifying spot we got for this season) with the start of the conference league.
Group winners go straight to last 16 (next round i think)
With the announcement of Project Big Picture (aka Project Manchester 1 - 6 United and Liverpool) and the rumoured threat of a breakaway league, I wanted to comment on the new UEFA Europa Conference League starting next season.
Does anyone else see the possibility that this is part of a transition to a 'European Super League' happening under our feet?
It is a conceivable that a proposal of the top 4 or whatever clubs from each major country join a new "Champions League" that uses a more traditional league format with no knockout rounds, with relegation to the Europa League (and so on), and that the domestic leagues mutate in to something very different (that may or may not include the big clubs participation in some way).
The structure is being put in place imo. What do others think?

Can anyone even imagine who the third place team in the 50th ranked country would be?
OK, had to look it up ... right now it is FK Iskra Danilovgrad from Montenegro.

I don't see the need for it personally, but then again I don't see the need for the Nations League either.
With 3 tiers of European football it is certainly looking like a more formal structure to European competition. I was against the Europa League winners getting a Champions League place (seemingly the only person of that opinion) - as I didn't want the entire Europa League being viewed as a qualification round for the Champions League. Anyway that's where it is now, I guess the winners of this shit get 'promoted' to the Europa League next season?

No its just a competition to involve more smaller nations clubs in European competition.
