Bordeaux’s strikers Yoann Gourcuff and Marouane Shamakh (pictured) have scored 21 goals so far in the Ligue 1. Gourcuff grabbed the lead in the FTBL rating of midfielders in the Lige 1 with 134.35 points after another series of goals—this time against lowly Sochaux--while Shamakh has done the same in the FTBL rating of forwards with 146.12 points.
Gourcuff earned 17 rating points in the game, while Shamakh netted 22.52 points. Gourcuff has racked in 96.50 rating points in the last 5 matches alone, while Shamakh has earned 93.60 rating points.
It is worth noting that Gourcuff, who has had good international exposure, tops a list full of big-name French midfielders in rating slices such as Chelsea’s Florent Maluda (109.78 points), Bayern Munich’s Franck Ribery (101.12 points), and Arsenal’s Samir Nasri (97.46 points).
