Werder Bremen’s Peruvian international Claudio Pizarro (pictured), who has just returned to action after injury, continues to top the FTBL ranking of South American strikers. But his leadership is now increasingly showing signs of cracks, with Atlético Madrid’s Diego Forlán now just 4.4 rating points behind and with a plank to beat 16 rating points less than Pizarro’s in his next game.
Atlético Madrid will travel to No. 12 Tenerife next Sunday in a game that is more likely to end in a draw. In the meantime, Bremen will travel to in-form Hamburg, with Pizarro facing a plank of 22.2 rating points to beat. This will requite not just a win, but also at least one goal. All this, in our opinion, makes Forlán the clear favorite for the top spot.
