So, by my reckoning, as things stand in terms of teams we could still play in the competition, it could be Rotterdam, or anywhere, Liverpool or Rome...
Very good

Purely in terms of getting through (and not travel etc) what are people’s thoughts? Anyone want to rank the possibles from best to worst?

I don’t know much about Europe leagues but I’m thinking avoid Milan, Benfica and Sporting - and Qarabag would be the easiest? Prob avoid Roma too if they get through as they’re decent aren’t they?

Marseille - worst












Anyone else - best

Freiburg is very driveable. I used to drive to Zurich regularly, about 11 hours including getting across the Channel. Freiburg is about 2 hours closer so you could comfortably do it over 2 days, stopping halfway, or even on the day of the match itself if you got a very early start (not recommended though). Lovely city and location in the heart of the Black Forest.
Yes, we holidayed near Freiburg in the Black Forest in 2003. It’s a a beautiful area and Freiburg is lovely.

I’m going with a continuation of the dream draws. We’re going to get Milan or Sporting.

I will also accept Leverkusen, Villarreal and Benefica.

Rangers and Roma (assuming they are through) I will accept begrudgingly.

The rest, no.

Come on that’s not what I’m asking 🤣

Marseille would be winnable but tricky - prob mid range in terms of progressing through…

  1. Milan
  2. Sporting
  3. Roma or Feyenoord
  4. Benfica
  5. Sparta
  6. Freiburg
  7. Marseille
  8. Qarabag
I'd rather avoid Marseilles, Milan and Roma, probably.

I know you have to play them at some point but just want as many European nights as possible.

Expect we would give most teams a game, Milan, Roma, Leverkusen, Sporting, Benfica the toughest, Qarabag of Freiburg the weakest.

That's before you chuck Liverpool and West Ham into the mix.

Saying that I wouldn't mind drawing Milan in the next round, imagine seeing Brighton play on the San Siro.
