In the draw for the World Cup in 2018 and 2022 teams from pot 1 are draw to position 1 inside the groups they were selected to, but teams from pots 2,3 and 4 can be draw to any position not already occupied (pos 1 and any other filled) inside the groups they were selected to.

Currently, the position in those draws is fixed according to the pot being draw.

I bet I can be done just like groups are selected in your CL Draw for teams that were selected in pot 2, pot 3 and pot 4 but, instead of balls representing groups, they represent positions, like B2, B3 or B4(since B1 and any other pos1 are fixed).

Ex: Simulating Group B in the 2022 Fifa World Cup Draw

  • Portugal is draw to Group B and assigned automatically to position B1.
  • Netherlands is draw to Group B and then is draw to position B3.
  • Senegal is draw to Group B and then is draw to Position B2.
  • AFC/CONMEBOL is draw to group B and then is draw to the remaining position, B4.

And this could be extended to the other groups of the draw.

I think this FIFA video summarizes it well: https://youtu.be/jDkn83FwioA
