Not entirely. They are based on results over the last 5 years. Sure the more recent ones mean a lot more, but those results from years ago still have an impact. Not only that, they don't really take into account the strength of the opposition very well.

Well I consider that recent . I always thought they did take into account the strength of the opposition. For example, I think Iceland got a lot more points for beating NL (2-0) than for beating Latvia (3-0) recently

From what I remember they do.

Points gained from the match * importance * strength of opponent * confederation
