Inter Milan’s Cameroonian star Samuel Eto’o was forced out of the FTBL World Top 23, our list of the world’s top 23 players, after Cameroon fell 0:1 to Gabon yesterday in the African nations Cup. This has allowed Real Madrid’s superstar Cristiano Ronaldo to return in the elite list.

Eto’o dropped approximately 11 rating points in our system and slumped to 180.03 points, allowing Ronaldo to return with a tally of 190.11 points.

Ronaldo will face a plank of 14.60 rating points to beat in his next game, and he seems headed for the 200-point range again after an absence of approximately 3 months. Real travel to Athletic Bilbao.
