what do these percentages relate to and how do they work them out?

Apparently the draw for the Round of 16 is rigged and has already been leaked, I will put this in spoilers for people who would rather wait until the draw but apparently in the Round of 16 we will be facing...
Probably some mathematician. It's the probability of each side drawing its opponents once you factor in the many country and group protection variables.
It's just the probabilities of each of those teams drawing each other after they factor in the rules of the draw in that you can't draw teams from the same country or group.
Taking a look at who we could draw, this is my order of preference:
Bayern - I'd love to draw Bayern, they'd probably beat us but maybe not. The toughest draw we could get.
Juventus - Would love this fixture, although they are a bigger team I think we'd beat them and I would like to progress so I hope this is the draw we get.
Sevilla - Would be a nice draw. Winnable but decent enough opposition.
Basel - wouldn't be a bad draw, we'd be favorites but I actually think Basel are quite good and I'd prefer to play a bigger team.
Porto - Would be ok, but not as glamorous as some other ties.
Shakhtar - I always want to avoid this kind of fixture because of the distance and although they are not a bad team I'd rather draw a bigger name.
Bayern - I'd love to draw Bayern, they'd probably beat us but maybe not. The toughest draw we could get.
Juventus - Would love this fixture, although they are a bigger team I think we'd beat them and I would like to progress so I hope this is the draw we get.

Basel - wouldn't be a bad draw, we'd be favorites but I actually think Basel are quite good and I'd prefer to play a bigger team.

Basel or Juventus for me. A chance for revenge against Basel or a great tie against Juve.
Want the easiest possible. We may have beaten Real Madrid but instead of the book, it is now stated that it is the massive effort of beating Real Madrid etc in CL that has contributed to the poor league form. Could well be some truth in that and get Bayern and our league form will suffer again.
If we would have come in 2nd in the group
Am I correct in thinking that we couldn’t play 3 of the 7 possibles and would have either
PSG - top of the league
Barca -top of the league
Besiktas -4th
Roma- 4th
As it stands we have
Juve- 3rd
Bayern- top,of the league
Porto - top of the league
Basel -2nd
Shaktar - top of the league
Is there really much difference ( Barca of course yet Bayern have been in 2 more finals) except for the home tie second, and does that really have an advantage?
Interesting enough maybe not at all

Hope we get Porto, if not then Basel or Sevilla for a bit of revenge.

'You cannot ignore what they have done in the group stage and perhaps Wembley is the perfect setting to bring the best out of these players on the big European nights.
The likes of Kane, Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen will relish this stage and they'll be aiming for the last four at least.'
From the Daily Mail. Think I prefer them to say we will get nowhere.

I'd like to see that one. Preference would be for Porto though. A good side, not the most toughest of travels and one we can beat. The big boys can wait for the later rounds. ;-)
