The preliminary draw is less than a month from today.
Assuming UEFA will choose the July FIFA ranking for seeding, we already know the pots, as European teams have no matches left to play before the deadline.
These are the pots and some quick analysis.

FIFA will publish the ranking on 9 July.
Most likely this ranking will be used to seed both the European and African sections of the 2018 FIFA World Cup draw.
141 matches until the deadline. Copa America 2015 + lots of qualifiers. Big points available for many teams.

2018 FIFA World Cup seeding (UEFA): 10000 simulations (5 June 2015)
See previous simulation results.
As usual with competition/pot sims, I used ClubElo's expected goals formula. Games up to and including 3 June 2015.
Per scenario sims can be found here.
Based on these 10000 simulations, these would be the pots. Teams are sorted by the average pot over the 10000 sims.

2018 FIFA World Cup seeding (UEFA): Simulations by team
Because I've received lots of "What are my team's chances if they do this and that and everything else stays the same" questions, I've decided to run 10000 sims for each possible scenario. Lost patience after Serbia and dropped to 1000 sims per scenario.
As usual with competition/pot sims, I used ClubElo's expected goals formula. Games up to and including 3 June 2015.
The usual simulations can be found here.
Some very important matches:
