7 October 2026FIFA ranking in use

2012points for Spain, ranked first

1296points between first and last

These are the numbers every simulated match starts from. Points are each nation's total in the FIFA/Coca-Cola Men's World Ranking published on 7 October 2026; the simulator uses them directly as the team's rating. Attack and defence are this site's own 1–100 scores, worked out from each nation's last 30 internationals. How the three numbers are used.

The gap from Spain at the top to San Marino at the bottom is 1296 points. In the model a gap of 400 points already means the stronger side is expected to take about 91% of the result, so the distance between the best and the weakest of FIFA's members is very large indeed — which is why the early qualifying rounds are so one-sided and why most of the 211 nations qualify rarely or never in the simulated odds.

Attack and defence

A high rating and a high attack score are not the same thing. Rating measures results; the attack and defence scores describe how a team has been getting them. The highest attack scores at the moment belong to Spain (100), Argentina (100), France (99), England (99) and Belgium (97), and the highest defence scores to Spain (100), England (98), Morocco (98), Argentina (97) and Mexico (97). Two teams with the same rating but different profiles produce different kinds of scorelines: a side with a high attack score and a low defence score is involved in higher-scoring games.

When the ranking changes

FIFA republishes its ranking several times a year. When it does, the simulator is updated: ratings, seedings and the odds on this site all move to the new release. A game already under way in your browser is not disturbed — it keeps the ranking it was drawn from until you start a new one — and any rating you have edited by hand stays as you set it.

Think a team is underrated? Change its rating, attack or defence in the team editor and see what difference it makes.
