In France’s top league, Senegal international Mamadou Niang added 23.97 rating points in the FTBL system after scoring the 2 goals in Olympique Marseille’s win over Le Mans to return in the Top 23 of the Ligue 1.
Niang climbed 3 steps up on the chart after boosting his overall score to 130.88 points. In the next 4 games, the Senegalese will face a combined plank of just 33.05 points to beat, which suggests he is likely to add further. Marseille have won 3 of their first 4 games this year, drawing only with leaders Bordeaux.
The next game against Sochaux should not be that hard. If Marseille win, Niang will move beyond 140 points. If he adds a goal, he will open the door to the leadership in our ranking of forwards in the Ligue 1.
