Yes there are but there's less anxiety about the league games as you have time to recover from blips and because you play week in week out it's easier to erase a poor performance.

The league should get the greater weight IMO and when you combine this with the CL performance you should get a fairly accurate seeding system (remember the league winners from the best countries are already top seeded).
