just look up who the top unseeded team is, and we'll draw them, or are we unseeded next time, should we progress

We're unseeded. So by my reckoning we should get one of:

Seville
Zenit St Petersburg
Basel
Besiktas
Olympiakos
FC Copenhagen
Sporing Braga
Steuea Bucharest
Gent
Genk
Maribor
Maccabi Tel Aviv
Feyenoord

(or whoever they lose to in round 3).

All the info you could ever need is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2018%E2%8 ... -off_round" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

The draw is on Monday and we won't be seeded.

There seem to be a distinct lack of German teams

Good. German teams are the only ones who have ever beaten us in Europe. :D

Leipzig are in the unseeded half of the draw.

Wow some tough games there.

I dont think we can get Besiktas as we are playing Istanbul.

Olympiakos would be unbelievable.

Would also be happy with Zenit, Sevilla or Feyenoord.

But as I am at a wedding the day after one of the games no doubt it will clash with that. So hoping we get one as close to home as possible.

Braga, Genk, Gent or Feyenord would be good trips on that list.

I would like to go Tel Aviv

Surely it doesn't matter that we'll have played a Turkish team already?

Ghent, Copenhagen, Feyenoord, Braga, Maribor would be excellent. Close enough and decent sized teams and stadia.

Another Turkish trip or even Russia would be horrific.

Anyway let's get there.

It's because the draw is made before the next round, so it could be two Turkish teams drawn against each other.

I think the point (correctly) is that Basaksehir can't be drawn against Besiktas.

Draw is before we play the next round, so they'll want to avoid two Turkish teams playing each other on the off chance that Burnley don't progress

Unbelievable City.

Would be great to see a load of clarets on Tel Aviv Beach for a European game!

Plenty of bars and some of the best food ever.

But take your own pork scratchings, or do without. (Which you'll have to do in Istanbul as well.)

Way it's gone so far we're nailed on to get Seville! No chance I'm missing this one if we get through. Can't go Istanbul due to work commitments, absolutely gutted.
