Inter Milan’s Brazil international Lúcio (pictured) has captured the top spot in the FTBL ranking of Serie A defenders with a tally of 121.18 points.

Former leader Giorgio Chiellini lost approximately 6 rating points as Juventus narrowly avoided defeat at Genoa through a late David Trezeguet goal (2:2). He now trails Lúcio by approximately 3 rating points and has little chance of recapturing the lead any time soon.

Chiellini will face a high plank of 17.25 rating points in his next game, while Lúcio will have a lower plank of 9.5 rating points.
