You are masterful at this stuffYeah, the seeding for the knock-outs will depend on where you finish.

There will be a draw for the play-off round and a draw for the RO16. So as an example 15th will get drawn either 17th or 18th and 16th place will face whoever they don't get on the other side of the bracket. And then in the RO16, 1st or 2nd will draw to see which of the winners (of 15/16/17/18) they face which will also tell them which side of the bracket they're on with the other team ending up on the other side of the bracket. Once the RO16 draw is done, the path to the final should be laid out. The finishing position will also affect who plays home/away when. 1st/2nd would play the return leg at home all the way to the final should they make it.

What a contribution you gift us all with.
TLDR.
