I just want the easiest possible draw.
don't we all.I just want the easiest possible draw.
Ha. In fairness I said 'less appealing' - I wasn't ruling out going! The coup looks to have ended quicker than was anticipated and people aren't being shot/beheaded in the street anymore.
August 5th I believe.I haven't been following this - when is the draw?
Being beheaded would only be a minor inconvenience to Bill.
I would like to draw Celtic
Impossible until the group stage, we are in the runners up pot not the Champions one, and therefore teams we can draw are from good football countries with high coefficients who have a very good chance of knocking us out.
I hope this is right!
Next qualifying round (with coefficients)
Young Boys (SUI) 24.755 or Shakhtar Donetsk (UKR) 81.976
PAOK (GRE) 37.440 or Ajax (NED) 58.112
Rostov (RUS) 11.716 or Anderlecht (BEL) 54.000
Steaua București (ROU) 36.576 or Sparta Praha (CZE) 40.585
Monaco (FRA) 36.549 or Fenerbahçe (TUR) 40.920
Winners of each tie enter the play-off round with
Porto (POR) (80.249)
Manchester City (ENG) (79.206)
Villarreal (ESP) (51.971)
Borussia Mönchengladbach (GER) (38.985)
Roma (ITA) (37.816)
So if the seeds (Shaktar Donetsk, Ajax, Anderlecht, Sparta Praha, and Fenerbache) all win, then Donetsk, Ajax and Anderlecht would be in the top coefficient group with us (i.e. we can't play any of them), and we could play Villareal, Sparta, Fenerbache, Borussia Mönchengladbach or Roma. If any of the non-seeded teams win, we could play any of them.
I've amended my post. In case Wikipedia is wrong...I though our co efficient was 99.256? As stated throughout the thread... Until now
