Newcomer to WFN World Ranks - Le Bleus

France will become the newest Fully Fanked Nation on WFN World Rankings when Germany hosts France in an international match in Berlin this weekend. Regardless of the outcome France will be the 21st nation to have been fully ranked on WFN World Rankings (the official, unofficial Australian Football World Rankings)

Currently France is provisionally ranked with 38.23 rating points whilst Germany is fully ranked at 15th with 35.73 rating points. A fully ranked nation will more often than not defeat a provisional nation, so an Eagles Home win of less than 40 points (rating gap of 0.50) will result in a rate change of +/- 1.43 and see Germany climb to 14th (from 15th) with 37.15 Rating Points.

The Le Bleus would enter the Ranks just behind Germany at 15th with 36.80 Rating Points, and push Peace Team(16th), China(17th), Japan(18th), Finland(19th) and India(20th) down one place each respectively.

However, if France can buck the odds and win, then the rating change will be +/- 1.57 points and they will enter the ranks with 39.80 Rating Points at 11th place and Germany would slip to 18th place with 34.15 Rating points.

It will be interesting  to see if players (and/who) are making their debuts in International Footy for each of the nations or how many of the French players are IC11 veterans and German players are 2010 European Championship veterans etc.
