FIFA ranking: July 2019 preview

Here are the minimum and maximum points for each team in the July 2019 ranking. FIFA will publish the ranking on July 25th.

Minimum and maximum points per team are determined with a small piece of software which calculates per match the minimum and maximum possible points for each participating team, given the minimum and maximum starting values of both teams before the match. 


Note that only scheduled matches with both teams known at calculation time are incorporated in this analysis. So f.i. all scheduled knock-out matches for the three continental finals are not included in this overview.
