What draw would you like to see and would would your worst draw be?

Like: Chelsea, Porto, Anderlecht, Maribor (probs easiest)

Worst: Chelsea, Barcelona, Roma, RB Leipzig

I would like Chelsea to face PSG in group stages so we couldn't match up with them after.

The teams i want to avoid are in our pot. I mean i wouldn't want Barca, Leti and Paris per se but i think we can beat if we are at full strength and firing, which we hopefully will be by gameday 3 (which is when we will likely play them if we get them).

However i would prefer we have the weakest team from each pot, anyone who wants a tough team for entertainment sake should look at what happened in 2012. Porto, Anderlecht and Maribor will do just nicely.

We might as well get PSG out of the way in the group stage this time.

Chelsea, PSG, Besiktas, Feyenoord

Chelsea, PSG, Napoli, Copenhagen - predicted.

Chelsea, Porto, Basel, Feyenoord - wanted.

I'm fairly certain I've got at least one team right for both lists.

That's a pretty good prediction.

Hopefully we can avoid Turkish/eastern european 

No question in my mind we'll draw Atletico or PSG. Uefalona will no doubt get Maribor, Anderlecht and Spartek. 

I hope Liverpool get paired with Celtic so we can watch Rodgers lose his mind about how much history and tradition both clubs have. With any luck he'll forget which team he's managing and start talking about how pleased he was with how Liverpool attacked in a 2-2 draw.

When i see how unfair the competition is at times and seeing Real Madrid and Barcelona get favouritism that other clubs don't get, then yes, i do end up hating it a bit. It's quite stressful viewing so maybe the year off was just what i needed, but i'm glad we are back in it. Some of my favourite Chelsea matches have been in the Champions League. The home games are always great and the atmosphere in the stadium is always good.

There is something wrong when the team who only qualified due to winning the Europa League goes straight into Pot 2.

nothing wrong with that

The champioooooooonnnnsssss !!

We will 100% end up with PSG. Just can't escape them.

Well at least if we meet Athletico Madrid they won't have our on-loan keeper this time.

Could we meet Celtic or are they classed as a home nation?

I only ask as that could be a trouble flash point.

1. Athletico Madrid doesnt exist

2. We can draw Celtic

Would love to beat them with naymar burst that bubble 

I think there are a few teams in Pot 2 we wouldn't want to face. Everyone bar Sevilla and Porto.

As long as we steer clear of Napoli and Roma in Pot 3 we should qualify. CSKA would be the nightmare in Pot 4 given the travel and our tiny squad.

Worst: Barcelona, Napoli, CSKA

Best: Sevilla, Anderlecht, Feyernoord  (Little travel)

 

Chelsea, PSG, Basel, Feyenoord.

 

That's my prediction. Really don't want to meet Napoli.

It's all  about pot 2 for me no threats in 3 or 4 bar Roma and Napoli and to be fair if we aren't beating them home and away we aren't who we say we are I'm more intrested in shorter journeys than what team we get ability wise in 3 or 4 but if I had to avoid one would be Napoli.

As for pot 2 Barca obviously are tough but it's a good time to get them if we played to our potential all players fit they are beatable. Don't want Psg I'm sick of the sight of them and they are dirty bar stewards who kick lumps out of you, mind you luiz owes us a match winner against them and I like revenge matches. 

Athletico are tough but we should be beating them, wouldn't be overly scared of them, all in all there are 2 easyish teams, 3 tough teams and Dortmund falling in the middle. 

Whoever we get we certainly should qualify it's just a case of first or second. Due to the squad size an easy route and first would obviously do nicely moreso than usual. 

In all cases glad to be back and I expect to see at least 3 English teams go through to the knockout stages like it should be, I have to confess in Europe I even like seeing our rivals progress.

Aww I don't get to see what @Valerie replied? 

 

I don't see why we wouldn't want to play Uefalona right now. They look like a mess and I'd love to play them over Dortmond, Atleti or PSG.

I was thinking the same. The pot 2 teams actually have it easier. Two of them are going to end up with either Spartak Moscow or Shakhtar Donetsk. I would rather have either of those two than any of the pot 2 teams and some of the pot 3 teams.

We have had some boring groups over the years so let's get barca, Roma and Celtic, that will be more exciting
