FIFA actually summarized it pretty well here:
final draw
If we get Uruguay, Jozy won't see another minute at Sunderland

The main thing that seems questionable about this format is that it does not simply place the lowest ranked European team in Pot 2 (as had been rumored) instead of randomly drawing that team from Pot 4.
That there has already been a somewhat controversial decision in seeding that kept Holland and Italy out of the first pot, this means that there is no assurance they now both can't end up with Brazil (or Argentina, Colombia) in a group.
That would be a group with 3 teams that would have been first pot seeds with the seeding method used in the last WC!
Not only is that pretty unfair to the USA or Japan or whoever gets drawn into that group but probably even more unfair to the South American side that gets punished for having a top seed.

Why would you say that re Jozy and Uruguay?

With the new pot rules I got
Spain, Ecuador, USA, Portugal
Is this worst case scenario?
