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

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.
Geremi has let Kilbane in here, cross comes out to Holland, 1:1!!

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?

Also worth remembering that only the results from the last 36 months are taken into account. Current rankings are from July, so between now and November the points from these games are removed:
Away draw vs. Georgia
Home win vs. Moldova
Away win vs. Wales
Away draw vs. Denmark
Home loss vs. Denmark 

That away win vs. Wales was worth quite a few points, we need to knock up a few wins just to get those back

Not the case anymore, see my post above.

You're right, apologies. I completely forgot the system changed.

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.

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.
