Nemanja Vidic (114.53 points) knows CSKA Moscow up close a lot better than most other Manchester United players, having played against the Army side many times in his Spartak Moscow days. And as the Serbian star defender prepares to take on the old foe tonight in Moscow in their Champions League group game, he stands a good chance of surging to the top in the FTBL ranking of Premier League defenders.
With a plank of just 5.5 rating points to beat, the Serbian star could sweep all the way to the top of our ranking with a good performance, as John Terry (120.08 points), who tops the ranking at the moment, will face a tougher challenge with a plank of 14.60 rating points to beat as Chelsea travel to Spain to play Atlético Madrid. France international Patrice Evra (115.97 points), the other serious contender, will face a plank similar to Terry’s.
But Vidic might want to avoid remembering, for his own good, that for all the time he played in Russia, he never scored success against CSKA. Will tonight be the night?
