The FTBL Ranking of midfielders in the Brazilian Campeonato is headed at the moment by Coritiba’s Marcelinho Paraiba with an overall rating of 100 points. Marcelinho is known in Europe for his stints in the German Bundesliga and the French Ligue 1. He has also worn Brazil’s yellow jersey.
The 34-year-old took the lead in the last round of the championship when he earned a whopping 20 rating points with a goal in Coritiba’s 2:0 win over Avaí. He will have a plank of just 2.55 rating points to beat in the next game against Goiás, which should open the way to further gains in the rating.
