FIFA ranking October 2021: preview

Here are the minimum and maximum points for each team in the October 2021 ranking. FIFA will publish the ranking on October 21st.


Minimum and maximum points per team are determined with a small piece of software which calculates per match the minimum and maximum possible points for each participating team, given the minimum and maximum starting values of both teams before the match.


Note that only scheduled (and included) matches with both teams known at calculation time are incorporated in this analysis.

  1. Shouldnt it be impossible for the 4 team playing the Uefa Nations League finals to lose points this month ?

    ReplyDelete
  2. You are completely right. This small piece of software wasn't updated with the fact that Nations League Finals also count as 'knock-out match in a final tournament' where teams can't lose points.
    I will fix it. Thanks.
