Method

This method uses basic principles bsed more or less on how UEFA calculates its association coefficients:
Every match played (MP) in every UEFA club competition (Champions League (or Champion Clubs' Cup), Cup Winners' Cup, UEFA Europa League (or UEFA Cup or Inter-Cities Fairs' Cup), UEFA Europa Conference League, but not UEFA Supercup or UEFA Intertoto cup) is taken into account:
Each club receives 2 points for a win (W) and 1 point for a draw (D) (no point is yielded for a lost match (L)).
Moreover, reaching the quarter-finals of any cup (knock-out round or group stage of 8 clubs) yields 1 bonus point, as well as reaching the semi-finals, reaching the final or winning the competition. Note that these bonus points are different from those yielded by UEFA in their own rankings.
Since 1999-2000 season, games played before group stages are counted apart.
The ranking is then set up according to the highest number of points (PTS), then (if needed) to the highest number of points (pts) in preliminary games, the best goal difference (GD) between goals for (GF) and goals against (GA), the best goal difference (gd) between goals for (gf) and goals against (ga) in preliminary games, and then (if needed) tothe best "goals for" amount.
