FIFA Ranking - November 2024 - Possible Results

Here the first attempt at the point exchanges for this month. For now this is from today, with a lot of details regarding dates and venues of the African Nations Cup TBD. I expect several matches to be played in Morocco again, so that will affect the expectation and probabilities. Given the expected changes I'll update this early next week when the results of the first three matches are known and if there's and venue changes.

As with Ed's list, for second and subsequent matches of the same team, the calculations are done assuming that the previous match(es) ended in the expected result(s).

Sorry about the formatting, still getting to grips with the editor...

R = 1 (home win), X (draw), 2 (loss)

Exp = FIFA ranking win expectancy

Win/Draw/Loss = point exchanges if Win/Draw/Loss, for now no matches of final tournaments where the point exchanges can be non-reciprocal, reverse for "away" team

Any comments or questions, don't hesitate to ask.

Updated 2024-11-05 05:50 UTC, including recent results in the African Nations Championship Qualifying, and adding known dates/venues for African Nations Cup Qualifying.

  1. Concacaf Nations League Quarter Finals are worth 25, not 15.

  2. Hi Anonymous, last time indeed Ed had predicted 25, but I stuck with 15 and was proven right with 15 points being correct in November 2023 for the last tournament quarter finals, but if you have information that that has changed for these matches then please share it. To my current knowledge only the semi finals and beyond get an importance of 25 points.

    1. This is absolutely correct, but I'm expecting the same (i=15) for the play-in round that is considered fully part of the Concacaf Nations League

  3. Hi Homer,

    I always loved looking at the 10000 simulations posts. Is there any chance you'll bring them back or was it calculated by some software that you don't have access to?

    Kind regards and thank you for continuing the blog

  4. Hi Henning, I will get to the simulations, and in fact I have been working on the software for it for a couple of weeks already (when time permits, I also have a day job). With the matches coming up this week and next I expect that it will still take me a little while, maybe until January to get it all organized and ready for the World Cup qualifying for example. I do have all Ed’s material so I will refer to that, but I have also worked with my own data and software for more than 30 years also. I don’t have a personal copy of Excel that Ed used, so running his software isn’t an option, but I should be able make use of it somehow.
