The 48 entrants are split into four seeding pots based on their club coefficients, with each of the eventual 12 groups to contain one team from each seeding tier. Under a new system, club coefficients are determined either by the sum of all points won in the previous five years or by the association coefficient over the same period – whichever is higher. No team can play a club from their own association, with the exact draw procedure confirmed before the ceremony.

Gaffer 1,665 Posted August 30, 2018 Author Share Posted August 30, 2018 It's never too early to start planning holidays. Some of these prospective opponents are mouth watering. Imagine we got Chelsea, Arsenal, Milan, Lazio, Villarreal, or Fenerbahce. Those would be ties to look forward to. I know some will be looking for the kindest draw, but not me. I want the glamour ties back and I'd take as many giants as they want to give us in our group. Anyone else buzzing for this draw tomorrow? It's great to be a bear. And on that point, already I've had so many messages from the younger bears in my family and friends circle. It's fantastic to see them so excited again. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
