As midfielder Sergey Semak (pictured right) and Rubin Kazan prepare to take on former club CSKA Moscow in what should be the central game of the 28th round in the Russian Premier League, he would do well to remember how important the match is for his languishing FTBL ratings.
With a tally of 63.59 points at the moment, the Rubin skipper has seen his numbers shrink dramatically following a series of less-than-convincing performances. He was able to redress the bar somewhat with the successful Champions League group stage games against Barcelona.
Semak will have a plank of just 6 rating points going into the game, and if Rubin win he will add to his tally, wile a loss or draw will mean a drop.
