  1. I checked the ranking tools on FIFA.com and realised that even if Hungary win against the Ivory Coast, they'll drop one position. Can you tell me which particular Hungarian game will be excluded from the equation as of June?

    ReplyDelete
  2. First timeframe average of Hungary is more than 600. So any friendly (even a friendly win) in May will drop the FIFA points of Hungary in June.
    Furthermore for the June ranking calculation the friendly draw against Denmark (177 matchpts) on 22/5/14 drops to 3rd timeframe and the friendly win against Czech Republic (522 matchpts) on 1/6/12 drops out of the 4th timeframe.

  3. My personal opinion on the top 10 teams in the World right now -

    1) Argentina
    2) Germany
    3) Belgium
    4) Chile
    5) Uruguay
    6) Spain
    7) France
    8) England
    9) Portugal
    10) Colombia

    France are massively underrated. Brazil are in bad form currently.

  4. Thanks you for always keep us posted.
    Do you know if the friendly for Lebanon vs Kyrgyzstan on June 2 will be a good thing for our ranking?

  5. Gibraltar and Kosovo are new members of the ranking at the day of 13th May, please make some changes here -.-

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Gibraltar will enter the ranking with 0 points, thus last.

      Kosovo have a friendly with Central African Republic. They will have 19 points for a draw, 57 for a win.

      Delete
    2. Actually Gibraltar won't be entering the ranking before playing a match.

      Kosovo's friendly vs. CAR was apparently canceled.

  6. because Australia fell 9 places ?? and if Australia win or draw with England this May she walks a house ??

  7. Ed can you tell me how Mauritius wins 13 places even though they have not played matches for May ?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. akeel, the 3 matches (1 win, 2 losses) Mauritius played last year May for the Cosafa Cup 2015 dropped to the second timeframe and are now weighted only half instead of full. This boosts Mauritius' points total from 185 in the May ranking to 239 in the June ranking.
      This process is called devaluation of points and can cause a change in FIFA-points, even if a team does not play any matches the past month.

    1. Thanks! I have one question though. FIFA awarded Turkey a win vs Greece for their friendly in November 2015. Shouldn't Turkey have 919 points and switch positions with Ukraine?

      Delete
    2. I hadn't noticed that awarded match before (and would only have stumbled upon it when I compare my ranking to FIFA's), so it must be changed this last month. This means the matchpoints for that match will be calculated with the May 2016 ranking. Turkey: 919 pts on spot 18, Greece: 678 pts on spot 40.

      I knew it was a trick question, to ask for a ranking you can perfectly calculate yourself :D

      Delete
    3. No, no, I only calculate the rankings for the top 30 and I needed the full rankings for the July calculations. So it wasn't a trick question. ;) My calculation techniques in Excel are rather rudimentary and you'd be probably disgusted if you saw them. :) I always check what I got with your's and Edgar's calculations.

      BTW, the decision on Turkey-Greece was made 3 days ago:

    4. ok, I believe you :) Thanks for the link and for the coming tournament: Go Croatia Go !!

    5. Thanks for the support! Given the guy who is currently our coach, I'm not an optimist, even on the question of passing the group stage. But I will allow myself to be surprised. :)

    6. Hey Ed can you give me average point of each timeframe for Germany? I tried calculating but it was 1310.51
      12330/16 => 770.63 => 154.13
      5593.5/10 => 559.35 => 167.81
      17296.8/15 => 1153.12 => 576.56
      3708.045/9 => 412.01
      total: 1310.51

      what's wrong with it?

      Delete
    7. Not much Dinh. Just don't round the results of each division and multiplication and you will see that you end at 1310.495 = 1310.

      Delete
    8. oh nơ I know why there's always 0.01 or 0.02 difference from final points when I calculate myself. tks Ed

      Delete
  10. Guy's interested in your thoughts.

    To those who get so worked up about the rankings I always say they should be used to Group teams by bands. And bands of 10 seem appropriate.

    If you are 8Th you are a top band team, 12Th you are second band and so on.

    The ranking shouldn't be seen as 3Rd is obviously better than 4Th because they don't play enough games.

    When viewed as bands I believe the rankings are pretty spot on.

  12. Somethink wrong about Vietnam's ranking. As I caculated, they must have 275 points not 266 points (include match won Syria 2-0 in 31/5). Please reply me, thanks :)
