Seems pretty much the same level of quality pretty much accross both pots. Yes, there's a pretty big difference between Switzerland and Greece Its hardly Brazil and Andorra.  We drew at home and lost away against Switzerland last time out. I'd expect pretty much the same outcome against Greece. Greece are ranked 54th in the world and the Swiss are ranked 16th. So yeah, no big deal.

Switzerland are a good side and qualify for everything. You would definitely want Greece ahead of them but....that is just one example and as you said a lot of the teams in the 2 pots are of a similar level, as long as no big gun slips down to pot 2.

That website used that system in the previous windows and have had the correct rankings each time.

Thing is Bren GM has a very valid point as we have no goals in the team .

There are plenty of threads on here to moan about how sh*te we are at the moment. Can we please leave this one to the freaks, geeks and virgins interested in ranking points?

That website used that system in the previous windows and have had the correct rankings each time. Yes I know that, but if you look at the IRL-BUL game for example, it says a win will give us 6.0 points. It won't, and no one can say now how much points we will actually get for it, since it will depend on games that have not yet happened. I have seen this guy's spreadsheet, and he updates the points based on every game, just like I do, but other than the first round of games in his preview, the amount of points to be awarded isn't really what he is listing here.
