Not at all.

They allocate you into a pot with 9 other teams (5 seeded 1-5; 5 Unseeded 6-10), and basically they pull one from each side and thats basically it.

You'll know of the 5 opponents before the draw, so you can have yourself ready on easyjet ready to book your flights to Israel or something lol

Is this deffo Barney?
UEFA rules say that the team drawn first, play the home leg first.
But there's no reference to whether the seeded or unseeded team is drawn first.
Seems a bit random.

We'd booked the last two weeks in July for holiday, hoping to take in the pre-season.
Then we qualified for the Europa League, which has brought pre-season plans forward.
So we can't do Tanzania because it's too early.
Then thought we could do Holland and go straight to the Europa qualifier if we're away first.

It's all turning into a bit of a disaster, with rumours now that the three proposed games in Holland might not happen.

All I can really refer to is the draw from last season, which I've linked in this post, whilst obviously, it's dull as dishwater.

You can see from that video (scroll along a smidge), that they just draw a team from the seeded, and then a team from the unseeded, then throw them in a middle pot, where the order of play will get drawn.

Hope that's of a little better knowledge of what to expect when it comes to the draw.

Last season for example,

West Ham, Hertha BSC, AZ Alkmaar all played at home first for example. So whilst there is seeding, it's not like the Champions league, as the seeded teams don't necessarily play at home second.

Ignore West Ham. Fairly sure they switched their fixture to give stadium more time to be ready

Rangers COULD struggle against APOEL Nicosia.

Aberdeen and St. Johnstone may also struggle actually as Aberdeen may easily struggle with Kazakh heat and a relatively unknown commodity.

Frustratingly for me, Hajduk split got dealt a tough draw :lol: maybe I won't get that dream draw!
