Valencia CF striker and Spain international David Villa (pictured right) could use the upcoming Confederations Cup in South Africa as a means to return to his former form and grab the top spot in the FTBL Top 23 of Spanish forwards when his country meet New Zealand: he will have a plank of just 1 rating point to beat in the game.

Villa set the plank in the La Liga game against Espanyol, which Valencia lost 0:3.

Villa currently has 160 points and trails leader Fernando Torres (pictured left) of Liverpool by approximately 20 rating points. Torres has a higher plank of approximately 27 rating points to beat in the game.
