The DFC match day programme runs an update on the seeding for each home game, for the first programme (late Feb) we were in the final seeded spot (at that point in time) but only due to clubs who had very little euro pedigree leading those leagues.
The most likely scenario was that Dundalk would be un-seeded and this still remains, in fact it will probably be all but confirmed very soon. Interesting to note amongst clubs already confirmed as seeded are the two we knocked out last year, BATE and FH. The latter being prime example of getting your co-efficient in good order means you don’t have to be relying on other leagues to have league winners with clubs with lower co-efficient.
Dundalk would probably need to get to play off stage again this year, and with a few more wins to have a chance of being seeded next year. That’s a very tall order. The same will apply to Cork this season, but it’s a very difficult process to rack up the wins, points means prizes!
