I'd happily take Basel, Zenit might be tricky and I wouldn't want the away leg of that one, same with Moscow. Would love to avoid Lyon, Milan and Napoli. No opinion on Leverkusen, they were fortunate to play Chelsea at that particular point and that's the only game I've seen of them recently.

What a boring set of possible games this year =(
Hope for something competitive like Benfica v AC Milan at the very least.

Other then that, expect all of pot 1 bar APOEL to progress with ease.

There's quite a few tricky teams there though, Zenit have been doing alright since that Italian coach took over, not sure if CSKA are any good nowadays but they've got some tasty players and that horrible plastic pitch. Marseille are decent, Lyon are decent, Leverkusen seem alright. There's some good fixtures in there really. :)
 
We needed to win our group, i can see us getting a touch game at Madrid or Schalke.

Wouldnt mind Ajax to get a trip to Amsterdam in

Lyon v APOEL
Napoli v Chelsea
