Okay I've gone around as many other forums I could find and started compiling some world international rankings. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AttujdNBdATWdHI3WVRSM2xDaWcycnZwbnFKTFRoS0E&output=html Just rating all the team's players, assigning expected playing time and then a bunch of numbers happen. Pretty similar to calculating a GPA. Weighing ratings and stuff. Here's USA's: Rating - Player - (Pos) - Avg Mins Played 81 - Howard (GK) 90 mins 73 - Cherundolo (RB) 70 mins 71.5 - Bocanegra (CB) 85 mins 69.5 - Goodson (CB) 70 mins 72.5 - Johnson (LB) 80 mins 74.5 - Bradley (CDM) 90 mins 76.5 - Jones (CDM) 80 mins 70 - Torres (CM) 60 mins 82 - Dempsey (LW) 90 mins 80.5 - Donovan (RW) 90 mins 74 - Altidore (ST) 75 mins 71.5 - Chandler (RB) 15 mins 70.5 - Lichaj (RB) 5 mins 69 - Parkhurst (CB) 5 mins 68 - Onyewu (CB) 13 mins 69 - Cameron (CB) 7 mins 69.5 - Castillo (LB) 10 mins 69.5 - Edu (CM) 5 mins 70.5 - Beckerman (CM) 10 mins 68 - Boyd (ST) 3 mins 70 - Gomez (ST) 25 mins 69 - Wondolowski (ST) 2 mins 69.5 - Williams (CM) 10 mins 76 - Holden (inj) 0 mins Okay so if it needs to be changed I'd love to change it but I'll explain first. This isn't a world cup roster prediction, simply an expectation of playing time on average. So Goodson, a 69.5, would get his 70 minutes by starting 3 games and sitting out the fourth, I would suspect. We don't need any goalies on this because we can expect Howard to play the full 90. A lot of defenders because nothing is really nailed down. Had some trouble with the midfield... PT could probably be changed a lot. And top four strikers, I would guess, are Altidore, Gomez, Boyd, Wondo, as far as getting on the field goes. Anyway, I gave every other forum a chance to tweak stuff so here is America's shot. I probably have a glaring bias so we can tweak that if need be. Oh also if you want to fix/edit another country let me know. (You can navigate through the tabs atop the page). I'm sure the CONCACAF is pretty inaccurate and some people aren't thrilled Senegal is 23rd. The cool thing about this is that you can say "Oh X team shouldn't be that high because X player is overrated and should X number instead." instead of "That's wrong boo that sucks." Kinda funny that people look at world rankings only to find mistakes though. You never hear "Oh they got such and such teams right..." It's always about what the biggest mistake is.
