Why are the top 4 seeded? Do they not have a big enough squad of past and present players to avoid fixture congestion?

Looks more like the newcomers and almost-relegated ones have to qualify

Is this an existing quiz then? Are we late to the party? Did the top four finish in the top four quiz placings last season?

From a television point of view, I can't imagine why they want to reduce appearances by the audience grabbing top teams by excluding them from the qualifiers.
