We will face 8 different teams, making it 9 teams in the "group". 1 from pot 1, 2 from pot 2, 2 from pot 3, 2 from pot 4 and one random which I don't understand how it will be decided.
Knowing UEFA, it'll be uncomprehensable even if they try to explain it.
It's two teams from each pot, one at home and one away. I'm curious how the fixtures will be scheduled as there's no information on that anywhere. In the end everyone will be ranked in one table.
Ok i've been drinking so brain not working. 36 team league. 8 teams in each "group".
36 doesn't divide by 8 though?

The 4 groups of 9 teams in the graphic on the previous page should help you to catch up.
Ok. So we get to play 8 teams. 1 from our group. 2 from each of the others. To me that sounds like only 8 teams in our group not 9?
It's similar to the PL2 I suppose which is a 26 team league, but everyone played exactly 20 matches.
All teams are ranked in one table based on their 8 matches. The top 8 go through to the round of 16 and the teams placed 9th to 24th will be drawn against each other in a playoff round.
I get that bit. Sort of.

If you now play 2 from each group, does the seedings make any difference?
If we were in pot 4, it's still the same draw?
Everybody gets the same level of opposition, but that happens because they've been seeded into different pots. It doesn't look like you get any advantage from being in any particular pot.
If that other one is fake any idea of how many pots there will be? I don't see how you can do it from 4 pots (unless it's 9 teams from each pot, which makes no sense).
It's not fake, but most of those teams aren't confirmed yet. It's most likely just a list of the teams with the highest coefficients that are likely to be entering the competition. Some leagues haven't finished yet and some of those teams have to go through qualifying rounds.
Ok so how do you get 4 lots of 9 from 4 pots? If you are picking teams from different pots.

The table i provided is preliminary.

If there wasn't any Seeding, just a random draw, we could end up playing only the highest ranked teams.

It was more, does your seeding matter any more, rather than any seeding.

It's almost exactly the same as before. You played one from each pot, now it's two from each pot. Only difference is that now you face a team from the same pot as you.
