As you can see from FIFA's ranking schedule, the deadline is Thursday prior to the release date. However, they sometimes include matches up to Sunday if the official match reports arrive in time.

Canada's win against Guatemala wasn't included this month -

Edgar, got another question for the ranking guru. Does FIFA use Rounddown on all the final rankings? For example I keep getting a point total of 8.5 for the country of US Virgin Islands. If I round up it would make it 9, but FIFA and you have it as 8. I know it's not a huge difference , but I'm trying to get my formulas perfect.

They had 2 draws during the .5 time period.

I heard somewhere that the old ranking calculations stop the thursday before the rankings are released (but that would not make sense since the sunday confed cup games are counted).

Edgar would better know.

Does FIFA have published when the final "deadlines"? (do they have the past published somewhere as well?)

So that means the Canada match will get the newest rankings?

I'm brand new to your site. Great site. I'm very interested in statistics myself. How did you manage to get the right point totals for the Top 20 teams from the October 2007 rankings? I've been trying to run a few scenarios to see where teams will end up based on wins / losses, but haven't figured out how to count for any of the redone rankings prior to the ranking method
