If they are going to move teams around it kind of defeats the purpose of even having a draw in the first place doesnt it?

Smells like a bit of a fix too me!

From the BBC:

A pre-draw will be held to move one of the European non-seeds (potentially England) to pot 2

Pot 1 will then be drawn. Brazil will be placed in Group A, with all other seeds drawn sequentially in Groups B-H

The four South American seeds are temporarily allocated to Pot X and one team is drawn - meaning their group will include the European side moved to Pot 2 in the pre-draw

The remaining teams in Pot 2 will be then drawn

This is done sequentially from Group A to H, although groups may be skipped to guarantee geographical separation - i.e. Chile and Ecuador will not be drawn into groups containing South American seeds

The teams from Pot 3 will then be drawn sequentially from Group A to H

The teams from Pot 4 will then be drawn sequentially from Group A to H

Finally, the position within groups (A2, A3, A4, B2, B3, B4 etc) will be drawn for all teams in pots two, three and four. Only then will we know where and when teams will meet

They just need to allocate the Pot 2 European side (maybe England) to a South American seed, and the two Pot 2 South American sides (Chile and Ecuador) to European seeds. Once Pot 2 is done, there's no need for any geographical shuffling, as all of the nations in Pots 3 and 4 can meet anyone already drawn.
