Bordeaux’s Alou Diarra (pictured left) grabbed the 4th spot in the FTBL ranking of French midfielders as he took part in France’s 3:1 victory over Austria last Wednesday in World Cup 2010 qualifying, while former number 4 and teammate Yoann Gourcuff (pictured right) missed the game on injury.
Diarra played the entire game without substitution and earned 12.3 rating points in the FTBL system to boost his tally to 107.91 points.
Gourcuff has now slipped to 5th place with a tally of 101.05 points. In our ranking of French Ligue 1 midfielders, Diarra is now in 5th place, while Gourcuff has retreated to 6th.
