Its a bit more complicated than that, considering 4 teams around the top 10 (including us 
) still have 1 game, potentially 2, to play, but as it stands we are minimum 11th, but could still vary quite a bit within that

It does exactly what FIFA want it to do as far as I can tell...it gives nations a chance to both rocket up the rankings and plummet back down them in-between draws if they do well enough. From what I can tell, the best way to gain in them is being hard to beat and don't play many friendlies. I think if FIFA wanted it to be an exact representation of the rankings of every country they would have made the one or two small changes needed to do that
