Tottenham Hotspur’s Niko Kranjcar (right) earned more than 25 rating points in the FTBL system after netting a brace in yesterday’s 3:0 trashing of Manchester City in EPL action. He is now in 2nd place in our ranking of Croatian midfielders with a tally of 90.83 points.

Kranjcar now trails only Bayern Munich’s Danijel Pranjic (114.64 points) in the ranking.

In his next appearance, the Croatian will face a daunting plank of more than 31.50 rating points to beat. The plank is the result of the recent 9:1 drubbing of Wigan Athletic in the Premier League, in which he scored a goal. The high plank suggests Pranjic might not be able to threaten the leader in the coming few games, specially given that Pranjic will face a plank of just a little more than 10 rating points in his next game.
