Why are City in Pot 2 then? Didn't they finish lower than Tottenham? Or is that not what matters?

The UEFA five year ranking should be the cause for this circumstance. It doesn't only exist for countries as a whole, but for individual clubs as well. Oh, and the ranking is only about the teams' performances in UEFA competitions, not domestic leagues. That's why RB Leipzig is locked into pot 4; it's the first time the club participates on an international level.

EDIT: To provide a bit more context, RB Leipzig finished second in the Bundesliga, ahead of Borussia Dortmund who are in pot 2. But like I said, performance in domestic leagues isn't taken into account.

I thought they got rid of the whole 'previously in europe' thing? Or were going to. As if I recall some teams had a moan as they won their league but Arsenal who finished 4th each season (and easily got the the last 16 in champs league as well) got seeded.



Hmm, pie.
