Je ne comprends pas le classement faible de mon club, buteur ou entraîneur favori.

For good understanding  of the ranking of a Club, TopScorer or Coach, you need to know  the various elements of the calculation, which determine the number of points that can be earned.

All results are weighed, making a substantial difference, e.g.  

·        the Spanish Primera Division is much higher rated as for instance the Dutch Eredivisie

·        CONMEBOL and UEFA are stronger FIFA confederations as AFC, CAF and CONCACAF

·        International cup matches  - in particular in the knock out stages - are weighted more heavily than domestic league matches

Points are calculated over the match results of the last 52 weeks,  often results from the current and partly the previous season. Meaning the current position in the domestic league table or scorers table does not determine the rank in the World Rankings.

Good results – in particular in the knock out stage -  in the International cup tournaments are pivotal for a high rank in the Football World Rankings.
