See previous simulation results.
As usual with competiton/pot sims, I used ClubElo's expected goals formula.
Based on these 10000 simulations, these would be the pots. Teams are sorted by the average pot over the 10000 sims.

October 2014: Recommended friendly impact
The best opponent to play against is determined using a combination of
Elo ratings and FIFA rankings. Let's look at the September 2014 FIFA ranking and
we'll see the impact of one extra friendly. The difference in ranking is
computed assuming all things remain equal, except the points of the
given team and their recommended opponent.
After Sierra Leone's drop of 25 places, the most popular opponent for the month of September were Wales (50), closely followed by Congo (47) and Antigua and Barbuda (37).

2018 FIFA World Cup final draw seeding: Oldest timeframe now closed
Next update: October 2018.
Assuming FIFA will again use the October 2017 ranking to determine the seeds, the 0.2 time frame (games played between 36 and 48 months ago relative to the release date) closed a couple of days ago.
It's not looking good for some of the big teams, but there's plenty of time to climb in the rankings.
