Looks like we can rule out ever playing any friendlies against European sides in the future (not that we played many) except if they are looking for friendlies immediately before a World Cup. New "European Nations League" on the horizon - likely to be approved next month at the UEFA congress. Replacing friendlies, European countries will play in leagues every year (three/ four divisions) from 2018:

Although the exact details have yet to be revealed, the Nations League competition will largely replace friendly games and become, in effect, the third major international competition for European teams after the World Cup and European Championship.
The plan would involve teams playing in three or four divisions, with promotion and relegation between them.
The competition would culminate in a "final four" tournament with two semi-finals and a final taking place at a neutral venue in the summer of odd-numbered years.
Infantino said the details would be announced at Congress.
"What has triggered this whole discussion is that we have been working to establish a new international calendar," he said.
"We also wanted to bring more structure to the dates when there are friendly matches.
"There are some countries everyone wants to play against and other teams who struggle to find opponents, so we looked for something new and have come up with the Nations League, which will be presented to Congress on Thursday."
