CSKA Moscow's young midfielder Alan Dzagoev will attempt to boost his rating when manager Zico's men take on Spartak Moscow in what should be the central fixture in the next round of the Russian Premier League this weekend. Dzagoev, who has an FTBL rating of 48.14 points, trails his Spartak counterpart Vladimir Bystrov by approximately 4 rating points.
Both players are far from the top echelon of the league, which is rounded up by Spartak’s Brazilian playmaker Carioca with 54.79 points.
Dzagoev will have a plank of 3.93 rating points to beat in the game, while Bystrov will have a higher plank of 8.57 rating points. A victory for CSKA will propel Dzagoev past his rival into the elite of the league.
