Curious...How does everyone here think the P4P rankings work?

[Conrad]

Forgive my ignorance but how is the actual P4P list compiled? Is it done a la Boxrec and calculated statiscally or is it purely based on opinion?

Either way it's no definitive list and will always be contested , that's down to the hyperthetical nature of it.

The world FIFA football rankings have always baffled me. You look at the current standings and England are a miserable 14th, with the likes of Cameroon and Turkey above us. Not to mention Croatia at 6th who we stuffed 4-1 in Croatia last month. (que sly dig from welsh/scot/irish member reminding me of our failure to qualify for the Euros! )
