  1. I've used fifa's ranking prognosis calculator for Albania's matches. The win against Norway gives Albania 596 points, but if you add a win for Albania's next friendly with Lithuania, it slightly hurts Albania's ranking, giving them only 584 points.

    Could you explain this one?

  2. Albania's first time frame average is at the moment 3935.4 matchpoints in 10 matches = 393.54.
    A win against Lithuania tomorrow delivers 255 match points. This leads to a first time frame average of 4190.4 match points in 11 matches = 380.95, a loss of some 12 FIFA points.

    In general a friendly hurts your FIFA points total, because it delivers less match points than a country's first time frame average.

  3. Thanks for the info, Ed!

    So the time frame average wouldn't get hurt by an unofficial friendly, then..

  4. Yes exactly, you put your finger right on the sore spot, as we say in Holland :)

    1. Bosnia will have 896 so this is surely incorrect?

      Two notes - I have eliminated the Russia-Northern Ireland game at the moment as I have not seen a new date.
      Brazil could move to 19 with a win in their friendly against Bolivia or 20 if it is canceled/not counted (909-889-879-897 (W-D-L-cancel)

    3. The Bolivia - Brazil game will be taken into account for the April rankings, since it's on April 6th, and the deadline for the April rankings is on April 7th.

      The Northern Ireland vs Russia match will not count for the April rankings, when a new date is found it will count for the rankings that apply to that particular date.
