Fiorentina’s 1:0 win over Olympique Lyon at home allowed Italy international Alberto Gilardino to capture a spot in the FTBL World Top 23, our list of the world’s top 23 players, with a score of 176.64 points, but staying in the elite group would be wrenchingly hard for the Italian.

Fiorentina will travel to Serie A leaders Inter Milan as early as next Sunday, and knowing that they have not won against Inter since 2006 (and in Milan since 2000), a win this time around will be nothing short of a miracle. To make things worse, Fiorentina have not scored a single goal in their last 4 encounters against the Nerazzurri. In the meantime, Gilardino is going in with a daunting plank of 23 rating points to beat. Therefore, the most likely scenario here is that the Italy international will see his FTBL score shrink to something in the neighborhood of 155 points.
