Doug and Andy would make a decent centre back pairing. 

Don't think Mrs Considine will be up to the required standard between the sticks mind...

Don't worry. The bench of Considine, Considine, Considine, Considine, Considine, Considine and Shin Considine has us covered rotation-wise.

more likely than d31's scenario

Some might go as far as saying it is the most plausible line-up for next season posted so far.

Typical Aberdonian negativity.  Get a grip.

How does seeding work for the Europa league? Are both the coefficient of the league and recent club performance taking into account or just the former? I've noticed Aberdeen aren't seeded but Burnley are.

This is how they do the calculation: https://kassiesa.home.xs4all.nl/bert/uefa/calc.html

The recent change, whatever the logic, has served to completely shaft AFC.

Last season we were half way up the list of seeded clubs in QR2 - having previously been unseeded at that stage, but building up some 'credit in the bank' due to successive seasons reaching QR3.

Now, despite another season reaching QR3, we find ourselves unseeded in QR2, and way down the list with little prospect of that changing.

What is more galling is that Sevco (who's whole European history is their tie with Progres Niedercorn) and Hibernian (with two defeats against Malmo and Brondby as their only recent history) are effectively ranked almost the same as us now. Last season we were almost double Sevco's ranking.

AFC's players may enjoy their extended break - but I still think coming through 180mins in QR1 (rather than friendlies against Inverurie and St Johnstone) is the ideal preparation for QR2 and a big part of the reason we beat Groningen and Rijeka - so therefore don't have a particular good feeling about our prospects right now, especially given it'll likely be a 50% brand new team that we field.   Remember Sigma Olomouc?

As far as I can gather the reason is to shaft Aberdeen and teams like us. They want richer clubs from richer leagues in the group stages and knockout rounds. We are in a situation where Liverpool, a historically good team and one of the richest and best in the world, reaching a Champions League final is a surprise.
