  1. How does this ranking differ from the one published on http://www.world-results.net/uefa/ranking.html#2011?

    It is of interest to know the rankings that will be used for the seeding of the play-offs. According to your ranking it looks like Portugal, Greece, Sweden, and Czech Republic woule be seeded, assuming they finish second in their group and don't get the automatic qualifying sport. Slovenia would be next in line. According to the other source, the same four teams would be seeded, but Austria is next in line if one of the top four grab the automatic spot.

  2. @Fredrik,

    Edgar can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the main difference between Edgar's version and Raoul's version is that Edgar includes future scheduled matches (counted as losses for now).

    For example, for Spain's Euro 2012 Qualifiers portion:
    Raoul calculates the points for the 3 wins played so far, then divides by 3 matches.
    Edgar calculates the points for the 3 wins, plus 5 (potential) losses, then divides by 8 total matches.

    That is why Edgar's intermediate values are mostly lower than Raoul's. But after all qualifiers are completed, both versions will have the same values.

  3. Yes Alex, you're right.

    I use this method (suggested by amirbachar) because sometimes, at the beginning of a qualifying competition, some teams will suddenly find themselves at the top. In August 2008, with Raoul's system, Kazakhstan were at the top of the coefficient list. See more here.
