How does the draw work, are all the seeded teams at home?

No - it just means they can't play each other

Think they just avoid each other.

Who do we WANT though?

Leeds out, be seeded, so avoid top 24 sides and hopefully secure an 'easy' passage through R2?

Leeds through, be unseeded, get a Prem side in R2, and make a couple of quid early doors?

Because the GLAMOROUS Prem sides are not in until R3, so there's no chance of a trip to Old Trafford / Emirates, etc, I'm in the former camp.

Come on DONNY.

 

[Papa Lazarou]

So, if we're not seeded we've got a 50% chance of drawing a Prem team. And another 50% at home. So, 25% chance of a Prem team at home.

Correct, but only Palace or Villa or Bournemouth, rather than Citeh or Arsenal or United.

I'm not sure I could cope with Palace at home just yet.

And the same chance of drawing someone else in our division zzzzzzz

And the same chance is drawing someone else in our division zzzzzzz

Yes, only us and Rotherham were sh*t enough last season to miss out on seeding (if Leeds win)

But, but, if Donny lose we have a chance of playing the CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE. I can't believe you missed that.

Unfortunately Leeds look ok on Saturday so, depending on the team of course) I can see them winning.

I would like a home match with somebody who hasn't been to the Amex yet, Everton/Villa/WBA

But I beat we get Bournemouth away

I'm fed up with that. We've already beated Sevilla and Forest this season. Bring on Rochdale, I say.
