Shakhtar Donetsk’s Fernandinho (pictured left) and Luiz Adriano (right) broke into the FTBL Top 23 of Brazilian players after the Ukrainians’ 4:0 drubbing of French side Toulouse in the Europa League last night.

Fernandinho grabbed the opener in the 8th minute with a penalty, before Adriano added two in each side of the half time. Fernandinho earned 21.25 rating points in our system, while Adriano added 26.52 points.

Fernandinho captured the 8th spot in the FTBL ranking of Brazilian midfielders with a tally of 99.56 points, while Adriano took the 5th spot in our ranking of Brazilian strikers with 109.78 points. It is worth noting that both players could continue their ascent in the ranking, given they will face planks of just 3 and 5 rating points to beat in their next appearance.
