As if a dark force has cast its spell on him, former Zenit St. Petersburg midfielder Anatoliy Tymoshchuk seems unable to achieve any measure of success despite playing for major clubs such as Bayern Munich and the Ukrainian national team.

Tymoshchuk’s side has had not a single win in 5 straight games. Game 2 of the World Cup 2010 playoff against Greece in which the Ukrainian side needed just a draw brought nothing but disappointment. As a result, Tymoshchuk has drooped once again below the 200-point mark in the FTBL world ranking of midfielders with a tally of 57.19 points.

This time, we will limit ourselves to saying that the Ukrainian international will need to clear a combined plank of just 15.15 rating points in his next 5 games. Maybe a single win with Bayern will be enough? But when is that win to materialize?
