Liverpool’s Dutch forward Dirk Kuyt (pictured left) will have a plank of just 2.88 rating points to beat when the Reds host newly promoted Burnley in Premier League action this weekend, a perfect opportunity to join the FTBL Top 23 of the world’s best players. He set the plank in Liverpool’s 1:2 loss to Tottenham Hotspur.

A victory for Liverpool will be enough to power Kuy, who has an overall FTBL rating of 158.56 points at the moment, into the world's elite. If he can score, he will be in the top tier in that group.

In that case Kuyt will be the only Dutch player in the FTBL World Top 23. The other top Dutch players have only managed spots in the rankings of their respective leagues.
