Bosnian forward Edin Dzeko, the undisputed leader in the FTBL rating of European forwards, can take a well deserved rest up to the end of this summer without worrying about losing his top spot in the rating: with 250 points over all, his lead over the remaining competition is so huge that he could begin the next season still commending the top. Bosnia will not play in World Cup 2010 qualifiers on June 6 and July 10.

Dzeko’s nearest rival, Liverpool’s Holland international Dirk Kuyt, trails by more than 50 rating points. Kuyt will have planks of 30 and 23 points to beat in the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Iceland and Norway, respectively.
