Chelsea’s French forward Nicolas Anelka could lose his spot in the World Top 23 or exit the group altogether if the fails to pick up close to 24 rating points in the FA Cup final against Everton.

With 191.13 points over all at the moment, Anelka has displayed constant good form in his latest appearances, earning approximately 70 rating points in his last 3 alone! He will be able to further boost that rating if he can extend his scoring streak into the FA Cup final.

A poor performance and a loss for Chelsea will mean an exit from the World Top 23 for the French, as fellow France international Thierry Henry lurks not far behind with 183.06 points over all. Defeat for Chelsea will also translate into a loss of the top spot in the rating of French forwards to Henry for Anelka.
