No. 5 in the French Ligue 1 Olympique Lyon will host No. 4 Montpellier in the last league game for the year today. Can Brazilian midfielder Michel Bastos (far left) continue the rise he initiated in the FTBL ranking with a goal in the 1:1 draw against AS Monaco and a one-time addition of 14 points?
The plank to beat for Bastos in the game will amount to just 4.07 rating points. With a score of 109.46 points at the moment, he could theoretically rise to the top tier of our world ranking of midfielders if he performs on a high note.
If he scores on top of that, he could even push Barcelona star Andres Iniesta (131.82 points) out of the top 8 of the world ranking.
