| The '''World Football Elo Ratings''' is a ranking system for men's national teams in [[association football]]. The method used to rank teams is based upon the [[Elo rating system]] method but modified to take various football-specific variables into account. These ratings should not be confused with the [[FIFA World Rankings]], which is more prevalent because it is the official rating system used by the [[FIFA|international governing body of football]] to rank national teams.
| |
| | |
| The ratings consider all international "A" matches for which results could be found. Ratings tend to converge on a team's true strength relative to its competitors after about 30 matches.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eloratings.net/system.html |title=The World Football Elo Rating System |publisher=Eloratings.net |date= |accessdate=26 February 2012}}</ref> Ratings for teams with fewer than 30 matches should be considered provisional.
| |
| | |
| The [[FIFA Women's World Rankings|FIFA Women's World Rankings system]] uses a modified version of the Elo formula whereas the [[FIFA World Rankings|FIFA men's ranking system]] uses a non-Elo formula.

| ==Strongest teams since the mid to late 1960s==
| |
| Time averaged Elo or Elo-like scores are routinely used to compare [[Comparison of top chess players throughout history|chess player strengths]].<ref>Arpad E. Elo, ''The Rating of Chessplayers, Past and Present'', Arco, 1978. ISBN 0-668-04721-6.</ref><ref>Arpad Elo, ''Chess Life'', 1962.</ref><ref>[http://chessmetrics.com/cm/Documents/AboutSystem.htm About the Chessmetrics Rating System], by Jeff Sonas</ref> The following is a list of the national teams with the highest average Elo score from 1 January 1970 to 1 January 2014. Before this time intercontinental play was fairly limited and many nations in Africa, North America, and Asia had played too few games yet to create a representative Elo score. Since Elo scores reflect past accomplishments, the table represents the relative strength of national teams since the mid to late 1960s.

| ==Averages by decade==
| |
| | |
| The table below shows the teams with the best average Elo score per decade (Jan 1 19X0 - Dec 31 19X9). Because the Elö scores take into account past achievements with an inercy of months, the averaging over a decade is more representative of the teams' strengths for a decade starting a few years earlier and ending with the latest results of the decade relatively underweighted. For instance, this partially explains England claiming #3 spot despite missing two WCs in the 70s, boosted by results legacy from the late 60s. Or conversely the surging of France in the late 90s and Spain in the late 00s not being fully reflected in that decade but rather on the subsequent one.

| ==History==
| |
| This system, developed by [[Hungary|Hungarian]]-American mathematician Dr. [[Arpad Elo|Árpád Élő]], is used by [[Fédération Internationale des Échecs|FIDE]], the international chess federation, to rate [[chess]] players, and by the [[European Go Federation]], to rate [[Go (game)|Go]] players. In 1997 [[Bob Runyan]] adapted the Elo rating system to international [[football (soccer)|football]] and posted the results on the Internet. He was also the first maintainer of the World Football Elo Ratings web site, now maintained by Kirill Bulygin.
| |
| | |
| ==Overview==
| |
| The Elo system was adapted for football by adding a weighting for the kind of match, an adjustment for the home team advantage, and an adjustment for goal difference in the match result.
| |
| | |
| The factors taken into consideration when calculating a team's new rating are:
| |
| *The team's old rating
| |
| *The considered weight of the tournament
| |
| *The goal difference of the match
| |
| *The result of the match
| |
| *The expected result of the match
| |
| | |
| The different weights of competitions in descending order are:
| |
| *[[FIFA World Cup|World Cup]] Finals
| |
| *[[Football Continental Championships|Continental championships]] finals and Intercontinental tournaments
| |
| *World Cup and Continental championship qualifiers
| |
| *All other tournaments
| |
| *[[Friendly match]]es
| |
| | |
| The single difference is Elo giving a special treatment for minor tournaments, while FIFA consider them as friendly matches.
| |
| | |
| These ratings take into account all international "A" matches for which results could be found. Ratings tend to converge on a team's true strength relative to its competitors after about 30 matches. Ratings for teams with fewer than 30 matches should be considered provisional. Match data are primarily from International Football 1872 – present web site.
| |
| | |
| ==Basic calculation principles==
| |
| | |
| The basic principle behind the Elo ratings is only in its simplest form similar to that of a league, unlike the FIFA tables who effectively run their table as a normal league table, but with weightings to take into account the other factors, the Elo system has its one formula which takes into account the factors mentioned above. There is no first step as in the FIFA system where a team immediately receives points for the result, there is just one calculation in the Elo system.
| |
| | |
| The ratings are based on the following formulae:
| |
| | |
| :'''<math>R_n = R_o + K G (W - W_e)</math>'''
| |
| | |
| or
| |
| | |
| :'''<math>P = K G (W - W_e)</math>'''
| |
| | |
| Where;
| |
| {| style="width:50%;"
| |
| |-
| |
| |width=4%|
| |
| |-
| |
| |'''<math>R_n</math>'''||= The new team rating<br>
| |
| |-
| |
| |'''<math>R_o</math>'''||= The old team rating<br>
| |
| |-
| |
| |'''<math>K</math>'''||= Weight index regarding the tournament of the match<br>
| |
| |-
| |
| |'''<math>G</math>'''||= A number from the index of goal differences<br>
| |
| |-
| |
| |'''<math>W</math>'''||= The result of the match<br>
| |
| |-
| |
| |'''<math>W_e</math>'''||= The expected result<br>
| |
| |-
| |
| |'''<math>P</math>'''||= Points Change<br>
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| ===Status of match===
| |
| The status of the match is incorporated by the use of a weight constant. The weight is a constant regarding the "weight" or importance of a match, defined by which tournament the match is in, they are as follows;
| |
| {| class="wikitable" style="font-size: 90%;"
| |
| |-
| |
| !Tournament or Match type!!Index (K)
| |
| |-
| |
| |World Cup Finals||60
| |
| |-
| |
| |Continental Championship and Intercontinental Tournaments||50
| |
| |-
| |
| |World Cup and Continental qualifiers and major tournaments||40
| |
| |-
| |
| |All other tournaments||30
| |
| |-
| |
| |Friendly Matches||20
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| ===Number of goals===
| |
| The number of goals is taken into account by use of a goal difference index. G is increased by half if a game is won by two goals, and if the game is won by three or more goals by a number decided through the appropriate calculation shown below;
| |
| | |
| If the game is a draw or is won by one goal
| |
| :<math>G = 1</math>
| |
| | |
| If the game is won by two goals
| |
| :<math>G = \frac{3}{2}</math>
| |
| | |
| If the game is won by three or more goals
| |
| *Where '''N''' is the goal difference
| |
| :<math>G = \frac{11+N}{8}</math>
| |
| | |

| | |

| |
| |<nowiki>+9</nowiki>||2.5
| |
| |-
| |
| |<nowiki>+10</nowiki>||2.625
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| ===Result of match===
| |
| | |
| W is the result of the game (1 for a win, 0.5 for a draw, and 0 for a loss).
| |
| | |
| ===Expected result of match===
| |
| W<sub>e</sub> is the expected result (win expectancy with a draw counting as 0.5) from the following formula:
| |
| | |
| :<math>W_e = \frac{1}{10^{-dr/400} + 1}</math>
| |
| | |
| where ''dr'' equals the difference in ratings plus 100 points for a team playing at home.
| |
| So ''dr'' of 0 gives 0.5, of 120 gives 0.666 to the higher-ranked team and 0.334 to the lower, and of 800 gives 0.99 to the higher-ranked team and 0.01 to the lower.
| |
| | |
| ===Examples===
| |
| The same examples have been used on the [[FIFA World Rankings]] for a fair comparison. Some actual examples should help to make the methods of calculation clear. In this instance it is assumed that three teams of different strengths are involved in a small friendly tournament on neutral territory.
| |
| | |
| Before the tournament the three teams have the following point totals.
| |
| {| class="wikitable" style="font-size: 90%;"
| |
| |-
| |
| !Team!!Points
| |
| |-
| |
| |A||630
| |
| |-
| |
| |B||500
| |
| |-
| |
| |C||480
| |
| |}
| |
| Thus, team A is by some distance the highest ranked of the three:
| |
| The following table shows the points allocations based on three possible outcomes of the match between the strongest team A, and the somewhat weaker team B:

| ====Example 2====
| |
| '''Team B versus Team C (both teams approximately the same strength)'''
| |
| | |
| When the difference in strength between the two teams is less, so also will be the difference in points allocation. The following table illustrates how the points would be divided following the same results as above, but with two roughly equally ranked teams, B and C, being involved:

| Note that Team B loses more ranking points by losing to Team C than by losing to Team A.

| ====Comparison with [[FIFA World Rankings]]====
| |
| | |
| Assuming team B drew with team A and lost to team C the table now stands;
| |
| {| class="wikitable" style="font-size: 90%; text-align: center;"
| |
| |-
| |
| !Team!!Initial Points!!Final Points (FIFA)!!Rank (FIFA)!!Final Points (Elo)!!Rank (Elo)

| |

| |
| | |
| As you can see, the criticism suggests, the FIFA rankings have been slow to respond to Team Bs considerable drop in form, with despite Team Cs [[Underdog (competition)|underdog]] victory, the margin between it and Team B is still ten points, whereas in the Elo rankings, team C has overtaken team B. Also in the FIFA rankings, team A despite having drawn with a team significantly lower ranked than itself, has still gained 8 points, whereas in the Elo rankings has lost 4. However in the Elo rankings, team B who managed a draw with significantly higher ranked team A, have lost a position in the rankings due to only a single poor result, and have overall lost more than ten points. -->
