Just to add, for anyone interested, have found this tool useful for adding/subtracting results to the most recent rankings.
http://www.football-rankings.info/2020/08/fifa-ranking-september-2020-preview_16.html
Here is a rough tally for the current situation (rough due to the lack of decimal point information from FIFA). I think my maths is correct. 17 Slovakia 1490 18 Serbia 1486.2 19 Turkey 1485.4 20 Republic of Ireland 1484.5 ------------- 21 Russia 1477.8 22 Northern Ireland 1476 23 Romania 1475 24 Iceland 1465 Edited by J0E_90 - 04 Sep 2020 at 2:56pm |

Swiss probably the top seed to get looking at the rest of them (Not that it will be easy)

Thanks for this. Great information. So vital we stay in that second seed spot. I wouldn't be fearful of any of the currently seeded 3rd.

Love these threads! fair play Rolo.
Quick question on the algorthm - it doesnt specify that play off matches for the confederation finals are included? It says the playoffs
for nations league definitely are.
If they are included and they’ve the same weighting as the qualifiers then the Slovakia match will be worth considerably more, almost 2 nations league games 0.15 vs 0.25? |

Before last night's games:
Seeding - Team - FIFA Ranking points 17 Turkey 1494 18 Serbia 1494 19 Slovakia 1490 20 Rep of Ireland 1486 ------------------------ 21 Northern Ireland 1476 22 Romania 1475 23 Russia 1470 24 Iceland 1465 Duffy's equaliser meant we only dropped 1.5 points, rather than 9. Russia beat Serbia; a gain of 7.8 points for Russia, a loss of 7.8 for Serbia. Turkey lost to Hungary. A loss of 8.6 points for Turkey. The others above didnt play last night. So that group of teams after last night's matches now look like this: 17 Slovakia 1490 18 Serbia 1486.2 19 Turkey 1485.4 20 Rep of Ireland 1484.5 ------------------------ 21 Russia 1477.8 22 Northern Ireland 1476 23 Romania 1475 24 Iceland 1465 Very tight. We'd be out of the top 20 now if we had lost last night.

Very interesting.
The North play Romania later so we'll see movement for both of those most likely. |

A win for either will give them 7.5 points, and the other will lose 7.5 points. A draw in that game will see both of them take 0 points from the game. That wouldn't be the case in other drawn games (teams gain and lose points in a drawn game) but in that match both teams would take 0 in the event of a draw. So a draw there would be best for us.

Northern Ireland and Romania drew. They both get 0 points, no gain or loss of points.

See the post above yours. Didnt see NI game. I was watching Slovakia v Czech Rep in first half then Italy Bosnia in second half. Slovakia are beatable, Bosnia would be very tough if we make it to the final.

Very tight between Ireland the teams around us.
Just a further update to emphasise the importance of these Nations League games for the World Cup seedings: If Ireland beat Finland, thats a gain of 6.1 points. A draw and we drop 1.4 points. Lose and we drop 8.9 points.
