Liverpool F.C. — Best pictures!

Bayern Munich midfielder Mark van Bommel (pictured in the center) has joined his compatriots Edwin van der Sar of Manchester United and Livepoool’s Dirk Kuyt in the FTBL Top 23 following the Netherlands’ 2:0 convincing win over Norway in a World Cup 2010

England striker Wayne Rooney (picture right), who remains out of the World Top 23, could return in the elite after England’s World Cup 2010 qualifier against Andorra; his plank to beat in the match amounts to just over 3 rating points.

The three highest rated goalkeepers in the world, all playing for English Premier League clubs, now have a new rival in Inter Milan’s Brazilian Julio Cesar (pictured).

Liverpool’s Dutch forward Dirk Kuyt ended the season with a rating of 206.54 points, the best in the English Premier League as it stands. His nearest rival, Teammate Fernando Torres, is only second with 192.96 points over all.

Manchester United’s Edwin van der Sar has lost his top spot in the FTBL rating of world best goalkeepers to Liverpool’s Jose Reina after losing 17 rating points in the lost final against Barcelona.
