shamrock Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Hi, I tried the search function but couldn't find an answer to my query, if this has already been answered then please direct me to the thread. My youth team have finished top of the uefa youth league group stage however they do not appear in the knockout stages. Please could someone explain the rules behind this in layman's terms. Thanks.

lemeuresnew Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 have the draws been made? go into the competition and see when they are scheduled for. the competition finishes late (around same time as europa and cl) so it will probably just be that hope thats all it is, and not a bug Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 Hi, The draw appears to have been made however my club doesn't appear in the fixtures for the first knockout stage. I wasn't sure if there was a rule that influences this. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Presume you are talking about the U19 Champion's Cup as its called in the default game. Looking at my save it seems to be working correctly in which case: A) Are you using a default or created database? If you are using a created database it could be as a result of editing and you should contact the database creator to see if others have reported the same issue. If not then pics of the results/league table would help, its possibly a bug but you would expect others to have reported it by now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamrock Posted May 24, 2017 Author Share Posted May 24, 2017 I'm sure it's just my misunderstanding of the rules as opposed to a bug. Attached are the screenshots, my team is Liverpool and it states 'Q' as they finished top of the group however they don't appear in the knockout stage.

The First Knockout Round has teams who finished 2nd in their group, and the teams who won the Third Round of the other route. The eight winners will go on to face the 8 group winners in the Second Knockout Round. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile, the winners of the youth league from the top 32 UEFA coefficient nations play in two knockout rounds (if the winners of a youth league are already in the group stage, they're replaced by the winners from the next best-ranked nation). The eight sides who finished second in the groups then play the eight remaining youth champions, and are then joined in the next round by the eight group winners. It wouldn't be UEFA if it wasn't ten times more complicated than it needed to be. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

zindrinho Posted May 27, 2017 Share Posted May 27, 2017 the rules used to be explained wrong ingame, but they work as spurs08 has explained in this thread. I asked the same a while back: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
