Apparently there will be a special ranking published between 8 and 10 June 2016 that will be used to seed the teams for the third round draw.
10000 simulations later, these are the pots:

ReplyDelete"The craziest thing about all of this is that it truly matters what day the rankings are released because of the way FIFA calculates points. If Egypt, Cape Verde, and Tunisia all win, here are the ranking dates and corresponding final Pot 1 team.
◾6/2 – Egypt
◾6/3 – Egypt
◾6/4 – Cape Verde
◾6/5 – Cape Verde
◾6/6 – Cape Verde
◾6/7 – Tunisia
◾6/8 – Egypt
◾6/9 – Egypt
◾6/10 – Egypt
◾6/11 – Tunisia
◾6/12 – Egypt
◾6/13 – Tunisia
◾6/14 & After – Egypt"
The FTF article mentions 8-10 June. I chose 9 for the sims.
DeleteI think this potponing is unfair, Whats about Nigeria? they lose chance to improve its ranking with Chad withdrawl,
ReplyDeleteIt's not only unfair, it is completely outrageous. This is a first in FIFA's history of using their ranking as a seeding instrument.
ReplyDeleteSome serious money must have been 'distributed' here for FIFA to even contemplate this shady move. Pfffff, what an utter disgrace for FIFA once again.
Let's hope that all their scheming may lead to no change in the resulting seeding whatsoever !
Whats the timeframes for 9 June ranking?
ReplyDelete1st timeframe from 10-06-2015 till at least 05-06-2016 to include all June CAF17 qualifiers
ReplyDelete2nd timeframe from 10-06-2014 till 09-06-2015
3rd timeframe from 10-06-2013 till 09-06-2014
4th timeframe from 09-06-2012 till 09-06-2013
Is it possible to play 2 friendlies against the same opponent with 3 or 4 days duration??? fifa accept that ?
ReplyDeleteYes. As long as the match locations are in the same confederation. Also there's a thing about number of time zones the teams have to travel.
