Feel like this is the opposite of ideal, personally would rather the four additional spots be for playoffs/qualifiers. I find it a farce that not every association at least has a chance of qualifying for ACLE - a la UEFA. We could still have an extra Australian club in said playoffs or something.I wouldn't even bother with entry playoffs, just have direct spots.
(Obviously the AFC probably wouldn't do that based on how they further limited top tier continental football with ACLE, although 40 teams was ridiculous)
