The current world ranking has not been updated for 2 seasons, however this ranking still fill an important function in constructing the pots for the WC qualification draw.
Here's a suggestion on how to create a more versatile ranking system that focus more on recent performance rather than being a linear function as it has been before. The idea is that the most recent season provide full base points, and then the points from the previous season decay over time. Makeing more recent performances more important. Numbers can be modified but below is a suggestion (this below will be over be last ~60 weeks which can be from 18 to 36 matches for each NT)
decay rate:
-1 seasons = 100% base points
-2 seasons = 75% base points
-3 seasons = 50% base points
Then of course the base points have to be calcualted and stored in some variable ("Sweden_basepoints_WC10" or something similar). My idea is that base points gets earned for Winning or Drawing, thus there's a pot of points to be divided among the teams playing, let's say 100 points. Winner takes all, draws split the base points.
Then I also suggest that winning games in the actual World Cup should yield more points, Let's say 150 points per game. And in the playoff 200 points per game. Thus maximum points a NT can achieve in a season are:
6*100 + 3*150 + 3*200 = 1650
All numbers can be dicussed but I'm more interested in seeing the concept being created asap since It's really easy to do and would serve a worthwide function, and give you the developers much cred for taking an interest in the game ... |

I suggested something similar to this almost a year ago.

Even though my national team would most likely fall even further than it already has if this were implemented, I would still like this to happen. Most of the current rankings are not very dynamic because there is such a huge gap of points between many of the teams. This system is already severely outdated and needs to be replaced.
Regardless, we should not have to wait this long for a ranking update. If the points are never updated, then what's the point in even competing if you can never better your rank? If it's never updated, then the entire system is useless.
I'm just surprised that the points don't update automatically. Isn't automation the original purpose of the computer? From the looks of it, the ranking isn't really a program as much as it's just a drawing on a webpage that the admins write numbers into every now and then. |

I don't know why the ranking isn't updated, its important part of the game and no one in the game care about it?
They should make something like you suggested. So confused atm. |
This is where we hold them! |
