Football team statistics. The best football clubs in the world

The FIFA national team rating or the FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking (eng. The FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking) is a ranking system for national football teams. It was first introduced in 1993 as a relative indicator of the strength of the national team at the moment, allowing you to assess the dynamics of the team's growth. In July 2006, after the World Cup in Germany, significant changes were made to the scoring system.

FIFA ranking of football teams for today

The International Football Federation (FIFA) has published an updated rating of national teams. After the 2018 World Cup, very serious changes took place in the list: as expected, the leader changed, and the Russian team greatly improved its position, rising to a record number of places.

In July, the FIFA rating was not updated, but this was due to the new scoring system, which was introduced taking into account the matches of the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Actually, thanks to this, the leader has changed: the World Cup winner, the French team, is now in first place. It is followed by Belgium and Brazil.

Croatia burst into the top 4, rising by as much as 16 places. Germany, which failed at the 2018 World Cup, is now in 15th place. Argentina also flew out of the top ten.

There is great news for fans of the Russian national team: after the team reached the quarterfinals of the world championship for the first time in its history, it improved its position by a record number of places, also showing the best progress in the FIFA rankings, by 21 lines.

Wards of Stanislav Cherchesov before the tournament occupied the 70th place, but now they are on the 49th.

famous british magazine FourFourTwo published his list of the top 100 football players of 2016. There are no Russian players in it, but this does not make the list less interesting.

Top 10 players of 2016

1. (Real Madrid, Portugal national team)

The intrigue of all the football ratings of recent years actually comes down to which of the two names will be given the first place, and which - the second. And at the end of 2016 FourFourTwo gave gold to European champion and winner Cristiano Ronaldo. The publication emphasizes that despite the opinion of many fans that the Portuguese is gradually losing ground in world football, they are still quite strong.

2. (“Barcelona”, Argentina national team)

In the past year, Leo Messi got the second line of the rating. The Argentine was reminded of the failure in the Copa America final, but they still note the progress of the already star footballer. The publication writes that his free-kick technique has improved, but more importantly, Messi has finally turned into a real strategist, able to correctly determine when it is better to try to score on his own, and when to assist his partners.

3. (Barcelona, ​​Uruguay national team)

Following Messi is his faithful partner Luis Suarez, another member of the famous attacking trident. And, as noted FourFourTwo, it is thanks to him that we can assume that Cristiano and Leo no longer have a monopoly in big football. In addition, Suarez is very hardworking and not greedy, which makes him even more great.



Barcelona - Arsenal. 2:1. Luis Suarez

4. (Atletico, French team)

It would seem that Neymar should follow Messi and Suarez, but European vice-champion Antoine Griezmann wedged ahead of the Brazilian. FourFourTwo notes that in 2016 the Frenchman became a world-class star, and even though in 2016 Cristiano with his both teams stole a victory from Griezmann, first in the Champions League, and then in, the year one of the leaders and top scorer of Euro 2016 still came out on - really outstanding.



Atlético - Barcelona. 1:0. Antoine Griezmann

5. (“Barcelona”, Brazil national team)

Giving Neymar 5th place in his ranking, FourFourTwo writes that in Barcelona the player had two tasks: to find his place among other superstars, and also to prepare for the role of Messi's heir, because sooner or later he will definitely be needed. The editors believe that the Brazilian coped with the first of the tasks and is on the way to solving the second. In addition, his progress over the past year is noted, as well as the fact that Neymar really found and realized his place in the team. If necessary, he is able to help in defense and at the same time will not be greedy in attack. Well, and everything else in 2016, Neymar, as you know, still became the Olympic champion.

6. (Real Madrid, Wales)

There was a moment in Gareth Bale's career when it looked like he was about to leave - it was a rather sad story of a serious conflict in the camp of Madrid. But it seems that all the troubles are behind, and the player continues to progress. The publication notes his outstanding physical data and the desire to control the game. And, of course, how much he did for, which became one of the brightest teams at Euro 2016. And if Neymar can replace Messi in the future, it is Bale who has been called a potential successor to Ronaldo.



Russia - Wales. 0:3. Gareth Bale

7. ("Bayern", Poland national team)

The most difficult thing for Robert Lewandowski in 2016 was to improve his performance in 2015, which became incredibly successful for the Pole. As a result, the magazine gave the footballer 7th place, and at the same time recalled the words, which believes that in the game Lewandowski should rely not so much on tactical literacy as on his killer instinct.

8. (Manchester City, Belgium)

The publication believes that Kevin de Bruyne has finally become a real star, and give him 8th place in the ranking. It is noted that once he did not give him the opportunity to prove himself in simply because the football player was in the wrong place at the wrong time. Now the Belgian has really opened up, including because he finally ended up in the right place at the right time.



Manchester United - Manchester City. 0:1. Kevin de Bruyne

9. (Manchester City, Argentina national team)

FourFourTwo believes that for Sergio Aguero, the outgoing 2016 was a year of professional growth. The magazine writes that the football player has good statistics, and the combination of brilliant work of the mind and performance skills makes him more and more dangerous for his rivals.

10. ("Bayern", Germany national team)

Manuel Neuer became the only goalkeeper to be included in the top ten according to the publication. FourFourTwo recalls that the game of the German led to a great evolution of goalkeeping skills and forced all the goalkeepers of the world to look up to him. Also noteworthy is the crazy "superhuman" concentration that Neuer possesses, and of course his great contribution to the game, including at Euro 2016.

FIFA Ranking 2016-2017 is a special ranking system for national football teams. This system was first used relatively recently, or rather, in 1993. The main feature of this rating and system is that the number of points of the team directly depends on its performance over the past four years. In other words, the more successful she performed, the higher the place in the ranking will be. For each successfully played match, the team receives points according to the rules established by the regulations.

How are points calculated?

The counting system was formed and adopted in 2005, although it was still slightly changed and adjusted in July 2006. It is these changes that have become final, according to which all calculations and calculations are made and carried out today.

The scoring system is based on the principle of scoring points for each successfully played match.

A team can earn from 0 to 2,400 rating points per game, as it all depends on the category and level of the match.

For example, the maximum number of points is awarded in case of a victory over the leader of the rating in the final tournament of the World Cup, while both teams must belong to the confederations with the maximum regional coefficient. How are points awarded for the outcome of a match?

  • Firstly, a win in regulation and extra time is worth 3 points.
  • Secondly, the victory in the series of post-match penalties - 2 points.
  • Thirdly, a draw or defeat in a penalty shoot-out - 1 point.
  • Fourthly, defeat in regular or extra time - 0 points.
  • Fifth, if the match ended with a penalty kick, then the teams earn 2 points for a win and 1 point for a loss. At the same time, the outcome of the main and extra time of the match does not matter at all.

Match importance factor.

  • First, a friendly match - 1.0.
  • Secondly, the qualifying round of the continental championship and the world championship - 2.5.
  • Thirdly, the final stage of the continental championship and the FIFA Confederations Cup.
  • Fourth, the final stage of the World Cup - 4.0.

It is on the basis of all these indicators that the rating is built. If we talk about the rating formula itself, then it has the following form - O = M * B * SP * SK, where each indicator has its own specific and definite value.

O - the total number of points for the match.

M - points for the outcome of the match.

B is the coefficient of importance of the match.

SP is the coefficient of the opponent's strength. To determine it, it is necessary to subtract the opponent's place from 200, which is determined by the latest published FIFA ranking. In other words, for the opponent. Which takes the first place in the ranking, the value will be 200.

SC is the confederation strength factor. This indicator is calculated based on the relative performance of the teams of the confederations in the previous three world championships. Also, such an indicator as the current coefficients of the confederations and the percentage of prescription are taken into account here.

This is how the Fifa ranking table looks like at this point in time.

WHAT HAPPENED ON SUNDAY

On Sunday, the FIFA Council made a number of important decisions, one of which concerned a new formula used to calculate the coefficients of all the teams in the world. "After more than two years of exploring various alternatives and extensive consultations with all confederations, the FIFA administration has proposed to the FIFA Council a modified formula - a system that was approved today and will be used for the first time after the conclusion of the World Cup in Russia," the official statement on the website of the International federation.

"A group of sports professionals and statisticians have developed a formula based on the Elo method," FIFA said. Let me explain: Arpad Imre Elo is an American physicist of Hungarian origin who invented a system for calculating the individual coefficients of players used in chess. FIFA has already taken as a basis his method - for the ranking of women's teams. Now it's the turn of the men.

What is it all done for? "To make the formula more accurate, eliminate opportunities for rating manipulation and ensure equal opportunities for all teams," FIFA cheered us.

HOW IT WILL WORK

Now the "weight" of the match is taken into account - the relative strength of the opponents and the importance of each game. Depending on this, points will be added to the coefficient of the team or vice versa, it will decrease.

Friendly matches will be less important. And, on the contrary, the games of the final rounds of the World Cup will receive the greatest weight.

In general, the formula looks like this:

P = Pbefore + I x (W - We)

Pbefore - points that the team had before the match, which is taken into account.

I - the importance of the match. It varies as follows:

I = 05 - for friendly matches that are not played on the days set by the international calendar

I = 10 - for friendly matches that are held on the days set by the international calendar

I = 15 - Nations League group stage matches

I = 25 - play-offs and matches of the final stage of the League of Nations

I = 25 - qualifying matches of the championships of confederations (for example, the European championship) and the world championship

I = 35 - matches of the final tournaments of the championships of the confederations to the quarterfinals

I = 40 - matches of the final tournaments of the confederations championships starting from the quarterfinals, as well as all matches of the FIFA Confederations Cup

I = 50 - matches of the final tournament of the World Cup to the quarterfinals

I = 60 - matches of the final tournament of the World Cup starting from the quarter-finals.

W - match result

1=win, 0.5=draw, 0=lose

We - expected result of the match

We = 1/10 (-dr/600) + 1)

After each game played, which is included in the official FIFA registry, a computer program will recalculate the rating of each of the playing teams. This will happen for the first time in July after the completion of all 64 World Cup matches.

HOW WILL IT AFFECT THE RUSSIAN TEAM

One of the main advantages of this rating system, FIFA called that it "allows for a smooth transition" from the old system to the new one. In addition, points won a few years ago will no longer lose their value, as they used to. And the national teams will no longer have to cheat by avoiding friendly matches. The coefficient of the confederation will disappear, which to a certain extent complicated the tasks for teams not from Europe and South America. Finally, the host of the World Cup will be able to avoid a serious drop in the rankings, which has happened regularly in past years.

The Poles, who some time ago were cunning with friendly matches (someone smart figured that the white-reds should abandon them at a certain stage), in this rating they are only 19th.

It turns out that with an imperfect and unfair formula, someone managed to get a benefit, and someone, like the Russian team, fell to the bottom. But now everything is allegedly in "equal conditions".

Only now the starting positions in these "equal conditions" are different. And it will not be easy for us to rise from this bottom, what the 70th place looks like.

And it is likely that in the qualifying tournament for the 2022 World Cup we will get very strong opponents.

Eurocup tournaments (EC) appeared in the 50s of the XX century in order to give the best clubs from different countries of Europe the opportunity to “measure their strength”. Now there are two European cups - the Champions League (Champions League) and the Europa League (LE).
The number of clubs that different countries field in European competitions is not the same, as well as in which tournaments and from what stages they start. This depends on the position a country occupies in a special UEFA ranking, commonly referred to as the "UEFA Coefficients Table" (TC).
TC is formed as follows. At the end of the European tournaments, the so-called “season coefficient” is calculated for each country. To do this, the sum of points earned by all clubs that represented this country in the EC of the current season is divided by the number of these clubs (the coefficient is calculated to thousandths, without rounding). For the UEFA Coefficients Table, points are awarded according to the following rules:
- in qualifying (preliminary) rounds: victory - 1 point, draw - 0.5 points, defeat - 0 points;
- in the main rounds: victory - 2 points, draw - 1 point, defeat - 0 points;
- for getting the club into the group stage of the Champions League (and it does not matter, through the qualifying round or automatically), it is awarded 4 bonus points;
- for hitting the club in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League - 5 bonus points;
- 1 bonus point is awarded for reaching the ¼ finals, ½ finals and the Champions League final or ¼ finals, ½ finals and the LE final (but no bonus is given for winning the finals in both ECs).
The odds table is compiled by summing up the odds for the last five seasons.
Eligibility for Tournaments:
1st-3rd places - four clubs each in the Champions League and three each in the Europa League
4-6 - three each in the Champions League and three each in the Europa League
7-9 - two each in the Champions League and four each in the Europa League
10-15 - two each in the Champions League and three each in the Europa League

FIFA National Team Ranking

The FIFA Ranking (officially called The FIFA/Coca-Cola World Ranking) is a ranking system for national football teams, which is determined every month based on the performance of the world's football teams over the past four years. It was first introduced in 1993 as a relative indicator of the strength of the national team at the moment, allowing you to assess the dynamics of the team's growth. The more successful the team performs, the higher the place in the ranking. For each match played, teams are awarded points according to the rules. After the World Championship in Germany 2006, the points system was changed.
The system is based on the principle of scoring points for each match played and calculating the average number of points for each year prior to the release of the rating. The number of points received per match is not fixed and depends on the opponent, the result, and the importance of the match.
Only the results of the first national teams are included in the calculation. No games of "combined clubs", Olympic, youth or women's teams are counted.
The FIFA rating is used to scatter national teams in the draws in the final tournaments of the World Cups.
