Default Ranking problem.

I am creating a Sports League table, where the ranking is acheived
with the following rules
a) Teams are ranked by Total points scored (2 for a win 1 for a draw)
b) If teams are tied on points then Goal difference will apply

Example
Team A and B have 5 points each, but Team B has +2 Goal difference and
Team A has -1, so B will Rank above A in the League.

To try and achieve this, I have a column that subtracts "Goals
against" from "Goals for" and divide this by 1000. This result is
added in another column to Points
So Team A (above) would have a ranking score of 4.999 and B would be
5.002

My problem though, is this:
In early season, if a team has played no games, they will have a rank
score of 0. Another team may have played some games with no wins or
draws and a negative goal difference will have a negative ranking
score.
So 'RANK()' will place the teams on 0 (played no games) above the
negative ranked teams, and I want them to be at the bottom.

Can anyone please suggest a better way to do this please, so I can
have my table show teams who played no matches at the base of the
chart.

Many thanks and I hope I explained this properly!

Neil
