  2. Berten, I am pretty sure it is different assumptions.
    World-results appears to only be using the results to date and ignoring future matches and only taking the average over the matches played in the cycle (so four for most countries).
    Edgar is using giving all future matches 10000 points (the base point value) and then taking the average over the total games that will be played (except playoffs - so ten for most teams, though some have eight).
    At the start of a cycle, Edgar's method is more stable (you don't have some teams with only one match), so I like it better, but both are right (or probably right - I haven't done more than spot check world-results) given the underlying assumptions.

  3. Ok I see, so these are very close to the minimum points for each team.

    1. Yep. A country with no wins would drop some and a country that has a massive negative GD in their remaining games (20+) would group if they only had one draw.
