2026 World Cup Qualifying UEFA 10000 Simulations (update 20 April 2025)

Especially for Ted, here's the simulation update to the UEFA 2026 World Cup Qualifying groups following the publication of the April 2025 FIFA Ranking and this time adding the chances of qualifying for the playoffs via the 2024/2025 UEFA Nations League.

NOTE: The "Pl-off" column signifies the percentage chance to qualify for the playoff round, the "Q-or-P" signifies the percentage change to qualify directly or for a playoff place, and the "NQDnorP" specifies the chance of not qualifying directly nor qualifying for at least a playoff place (not for "not" qualifying for the finals, but I'll work on that also because I guess with this determination it's now also possible to randomly draw playoff paths after seeding the qualifiers according to the relative FIFA Ranking after these qualifying matches have been played, excluding any friendlies though as that's going to complicate matters further).
