Argentina in the FIFA ranking
Pick the opponent, kind of match and result: the calculator applies FIFA's official formula and tells you how many points Argentina wins or loses.
Argentina adds 2.16 points.
P = 1,970.37 + 10 × (1.00 − 0.784) = 1,972.53
We = 0.784: the expected result by the FIFA formula, from the gap of 335.67 points. It is not a probability of winning.
Check against the FIFA document: a team with 1,300 points beats one with 1,500 in a qualifier and wins 17 points. This calculator gives +17.07.
