2018 FIFA World Cup seeding (AFC): 10000 simulations (16 January 2015)
As explained earlier, AFC have told me they will use the most recent FIFA ranking available at the time of the draw.
With the preliminary round draw taking place two days before the February FIFA ranking release, the pots are already set. I don't quite understand why they couldn't wait for another 3 or 4 days.
As usual with competition/pot sims, I used ClubElo's expected goals formula. Games up to and including 16 January 2015.
Very important: this is based on the fixtures list from FIFA.com. If teams schedule other friendlies things will look different.
