    I have no idea why those pots exist.

    They make no sense geographically, they don't separate the teams according to the coefficient, teams are simply randomly distributed into those pots and that's it.

    That and the decision of doing away with the seeding system they employ in every single round of this competition just for this situation specifically.

    For us, in that situation the old system would be better.

    We can also get the winner of Ludogorets / Zrinjski.

    Ludogorets would probably be the worst we could get.

    No we can't as they are a seeded team like us.

    4 seeded v
    4 non seeds from our pot.

    Qarabag
    Young boys *already in playoff draw*
    Malmö
    Red star Belgrade

    Assuming the 3 others win there ties which is likely.

    Ludogorets aren't seeded. The champions route of the Europa doesn't work the same way as the other qualifiers. The 6 losers from CL Round 3 are seeded. The 10 teams who come through from EL Round 3 are unseeded. 6 Pairs are draw for seeds/non-seeds. The last 4 non-seeds are drawn against each other.

    Ahh right I see so we can play one of 6 teams?

    I saw an article that we can draw 1 of 4 so I assumed Ludogorets would have been seeded due to there high co officent ranking.

    Avoid Young Boys and we should be fine, all the other teams are considerably weaker than AEK.

    If we get young boys and dispose of them also along with athens and rosenborg then surely we will give a better account of ourselves this year after what's been thrown at us

    Cheers. Do you know if we’ll be given the exact date?

    Looking to book a flight for the home game but only can if it’s the second leg.

    Also realise I’m taking a bit of a chance seeing as we haven’t even played the first leg of the Athens game yet haha.
