Despite his age, Inter Milan’s Argentina international Javier Zanetti can still produce impressive performances: he tops the FTBL ranking of Argentine defenders, while remaining 4th in our list of defenders in the Italian Serie A.

At first glance, it would appear the Argentine veteran is poised for yet another rise in the rankings with a combined plank of 19 rating points to beat in his next 3 games. But it is worth remembering that the Nerazzurri will play AS Roma, always tough to crack, and Barcelona in two of those 3 games.

In our opinion, Zanetti will be unable to increase his rating against such opposition. After the match against Barcelona in the Champions League, his tally is more likely to shrink to 95-100 points.
