The Russian Premier League this coming weekend will be dominated by the Dynamo – CSKA Moscow derby, as well as the personal battle between the two best rated forwards in the League, Dynamo’s Aleksandr Kerzhakov (pictured) and CSKA Moscow Brazilian forward Vagner Love.

Kerzhakov (84.92 points) ranks first ahead of the Brazilian (79.81 points) in our FTBL rating of forwards in the Russian league, but he will have a plank of 17.55 rating points to beat in the game, while Vagner will have a slightly less difficult task: a little less than 16.85 rating points to earn.

A good performance by any of the two could mean a place in our FTBL Top 23 rating of best players of the Russian league. Kerzhakov has a better chance here, since a goal accompanied by his side’s victory could help him overtake as the best player in the league leader CSKA’s Milos Krasic, who has 92.50 points over all.
