Barcelona’s Spain international
Carles Puyol did not even need to take part in this weekend’s 5:2 trashing of struggling
Atlético Madrid to grab the top spot in the FTBL ranking of Spanish defenders over teammate
Gerard Piqué.
As Piqué (who played in the game) lost 0.18 rating points, rested Puyol used the opportunity to slip ahead with an overall FTBL rating of 128.99 points, against his partners’ 128.97 points.
Piqué will have a hard time returning to the top given he will face a plank of 24 rating points in his next game, while Puyol will have a bar of just 17.25 rating points.
