For a second I was wondering why it would matter to Benji then I realised. Doh.

Is there a list of the seedings about? Curious as to who is in what pot.

Pot 1: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Leicester, Bayern Munich, Juventus, Benfica, PSG, CSKA Moscow
Pot 2: Athletico Madrid, Dortmund, Arsenal, Man City, Sevilla, Porto, Napoli, Bayer Leverkusen
Pot 3: Basel, Spurs, Dynamo Kyiv, Lyon, PSV, Sporting, Club Brugge, Moenchengladbach
Pot 4: Celtic, Monaco, Besiktas, Warsaw, Zagreb, Ludogorets, Cophenhagen, Rostov.

See I don't know what Leicester fans would like. Do they wanna play the big teams as they may not have a chance to do so in the near future or do you want to try and get the easiest group and try to advance. 

Curious as to what you think @Benji

He'd want Arsenal, Spurs and Celtic. Nice easy group.

[Benji]

Myself, I want an easy group. I would be ecstatic even if we didn't come last in the group. A point per game average and I would be plenty happy.

To us it's a rare bit of fun. We had the big teams in that stupid ICC thing and we got clobbered, so I'd rather enjoy the ride and lose close games than sit through another 4-0 drubbing.

I would like a crack at Atletico though, we owe them for their absolute bullshit win so many years ago.

[DavidMarrio]

Ideally then you want to avoid the trips to eastern Europe and places like Turkey and Croatia. 

So Celtic or Copenhagen out of pot 4, Brugge or Sporting in pot 3 and pot 2 there isn't really an easy team...Sevilla might be a good choice only because of the high volume of players leaving and joining the team and a change in management. 

I think that could very well be a group that you'd expect to qualify from and possibly even top if you can get a result against the team from pot 2.

I don't want the easy one in pot two, I want Atletico!

[Lineker]

Well you're into Group G!

[GoGo Yubari]

Okay, fingers crossed for no Group F. Or Group D. Not those. Good god.

[Katsuya]

Fun for Pep...

[Baddar]

Ruuuuuuuuuud

[Lineker]

In a group with CSKA Moscow and Bayer Leverkusen. Delighted with that.

[Katsuya]

Group B really is shit, huh? Benfica, Napoli, Kyiv...

[Jimmy]

Very, very good draw for us. I'm sure we'll get a tough trip to Russia, but I'd like to think we can navigate that. Honestly thought we were gonna get Dortmund & Real.

Porto and Brugge for Leicester so far. They'll be confident of progressing from that.

[GoGo Yubari]

I want Celtic in group 4 so I can watch the Kaney team that I don't hate.

[Lineker]

Copenhagen for Leicester. Super group for them!
