Good point! However, I still do not think international rank holds that much sway in the league - Atkinson and Dean still get big matches despite both no longer being international referees, and Dean never got into the top category. Likewise, Alan Wiley who never made it onto FIFA got plenty of important matches.
Thinking about it again, I think they are simply trying to spread out the biggest games among a larger group of referees than they have previously.
