I think it's 12pm CET so it'll be 11am our time. I'd imagine fixtures will be released the same day but doesn't say anywhere for certain.

Anyone know if the fixtures will be released the same day? Good thread!! I too would like to know more when the fixtures will be released. My bet after the draw they'll all be sent off to a dark room to sort it all out. I'd expect the fixtures to come out within a few hours of the completion of the draw...then the rush to book flights etc....will be on! Does anyone know for sure?

In no particular order Slovenia, Czech, Slovakia, Hungary, Latvia, Luthania, Faroe Islands or Malta for me!

Can we draw a team that we've drawn in the Nations League?
I really don't fancy getting Ireland again...

Going off current Nations League positions, this is the draw I'd like to see the most:
Poland Wales Finland Lithuania Kosovo (Why not?) Malta
We can't get Croatia if they go down and we don't come last I believe.

Just noticed Iceland would actually be in pot 1 as Netherlands and Croatia are bottom of their group and had a lower coefficient when this started so they'd be the ones to drop.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong there.
If I'm right, I'd have Iceland as my pot 1 team.
EDIT: IGNORE ME, IT'S POINTS THEN GOAL DIFFERENCE SO ICELAND WILL LIKELY GO DOWN.

Though I've just noticed Latvia would fall into the bottom pot as it stands, so I'm revoking Malta and replacing it with a weekend in Riga.

If we’re talking fantasy draws then I’d love Portugal top seed away in June. The rest of the group made up of teams like Belarus, Bulgaria, Lithuania and Kazakhstan!

Poland as top seeds. Slovenia in June. Would love a Baltic state. After that just someone we havent had for a campaign or two.

Anyone but England or ROI. I'd take a group such as Poland, Wales, Finland, Lithuania, Luxembourg, San Marino. That's probably the best draw available on current ranking. Because one of the League D teams will be 4th seeds and several others 5th seeds, the League D competition could throw up some interesting groups if as currently, someone like Luxembourg does well.

I'm pretty sure that they don't do the draw and then send the delegates off to agree the fixtures any more. I think it is something like they do the draw of the group and then send the delegates off to do a secondary draw of the actual fixtures, it is only for the delegates only agree the actual day (and maybe the time) that they play now. Although I'm happy to be proven otherwise. But yes, judging by Euro 2016 qualifiers fixtures it was followed by a mad scramble to book flights.

Iceland would be best top seed if they can finish within top 10 of Nations League, probably doubtful though now after two hammerings.

On On Atlantic airlines Think there is also a ferry from Aberdeen, stopping at Shetland on route. I have been told from someone that has been everywhere, that the beaches on Shetland are the most beautiful in the world ;-)

I wanted Kazakhstan until I saw the £300 flight price and that was the cheapest! Would mean I'd have to sack some other aways off so probably wouldn't bother and just do the other 3 or 4.

A bit of a boring country, unless you have time to cross into Russia or China, or at least Uzbekistan, as well ;-)
Think they tend to do decent onward flights to Asian destinations, as part of a stop-over. Again, if you have the time...
