35 countries in total with at least one rep in the group phase of a European cup.

Top-3 highest ranked leagues without a participant:

ROMANIA 23
REP IRELAND 32
ARMENIA 35

Looking at the ELO ratings, there seem to be 3 big absentees this year:

Tottenham H, Juventus, Chelsea

Otherwise, I think the three cups are fully packed with what Europe has to offer.
