In previous years, the draw placed teams into groups. But this year, it will create fixtures. The 18 teams placed in three pots based on their UEFA coefficient, will each play six games. They will draw two opponents from each of the three pots. In line with what has been happening across the world, the human touch has been forgone for supercomputers. A team will be drawn on stage (starting with Pot 1 and ending with Pot 3) following which a computer will select the club's six opponents and corresponding fixtures.
