FIFA Ranking: Malaysia October and November 2008 detailed point totals

I don't get the same value as FIFA does, but that's because there's the issue of historical rankings published before July 2006.

The columns are as follows: Match date, Opponents' FIFA trigramme, FIFA match points for Malaysia.

28-Oct-2007	BHR	221
6-Jun-2008	IDN	60.35
22-Jul-2008	IND	42.5

Adding it up:

Year - Points - Matches - Multiplier - Total

-4	874.65	10	0.2	17.493
-3	229.5	6	0.3	11.475
-2	558.45	13	0.5	21.47885
-1	323.85	5	1	64.77

For the last 12-month time frame, Malaysia only have 4 matches, but FIFA requires a minimum of 5, so the total is divided by 5 instead of 4.

My total: 115.2168462. FIFA has 109. However, my software makes adjustments based on previous month differences and Malaysia had 109 in my final October 2008 FIFA ranking preview.

23-Oct-2008	MYA	127.5

Adding it up:

Year - Points - Matches - Multiplier - Total

-4	874.65	9	0.2	19.43667
-3	229.5	6	0.3	11.475
-2	779.45	15	0.5	25.98167
-1	612.85	6	1	102.1417

My total: 159.035. FIFA has 152. The adjusted value computed by my software was 153 as you can see in the November 2008 FIFA ranking preview.

Malaysia total rised because:

You dropped the defeat against Hong Kong (13 Oct 2004), so the average of the "0.2 time frame" increased.
Two matches against Bahrain (21 and 28 Oct 2007) dropped from 1.0 to 0.5 increasing the average of the 0.5 time frame.
You won 4 friendlies so the average of the last 12 months increased.
