Flattery will get you everywhere! LOL
OK - here is a simplistic (VERY simplistic) way of looking at your number in relation to the global count.
Let's say your number is AF70000. We know the max number for AF is ~116000 so your number is in the first 60% of AF numbers (70000/116000*100 = 60.3%). If you take the 140000 number of selectees you could compare your AF raking to that and say that you are in the top 60% of global numbers i.e. 84000 (60% of 140k). They increased the selectee count to 140k this year to be SURE they will fill the global quota of 50k visas, since previous years did not fill with around 105k selectees. Therefore the global quota will be hit somewhere between the 105k and 140k. You are below that 105k lower limit, so my simplistic method says you are sitting pretty and can be sure to get an interview.
I should say there are better more complicated ways to look at this so I can't be sure - but it "feels" logical...
Simplistic lollollol
