1โฃ6โฃ pts are projected to be the threshold for a Top 8 finish in ๐ UEL.
At the competition-wide level, 16 pts bring an 80% chance to make it, but not all teams are equally likely to qualify if they do finish on 16 pts:
๐บ 94% ๐ต๐น Benfica
...
๐ป 52% ๐ต๐น Torreense
Differences in % stem mainly from the differences in projected goal difference at the end of league phase.

๐ UEFA Europa League: single-outcome projected table
Instead of averaging thousands of simulations, this table plays out every league-phase match only once.
How each match is resolved:
โ
The favourite wins, with its most likely scoreline for goal difference
๐ค Draws are assumed for the closest matchups so that they reproduce the number of expected draws in ๐ UEL league phase
Here the order of teams IS NOT the same as if you simulate the competition tens of thousands of times and take average points (xPts). For that check our other posts.
