Everton’s Russian international Diniyar Bilyaletdinov (pictured right) will need another big night similar to the one he had in game 1 when Russia take on Slovenia in game 2 of the World Cup 2010 playoff tonight if he wants to advance in the FTBL ranking.
If the Russians once again have the best of their opponents, Bilyaletdinov will earn a handsome bonus in the FTBL system. With a tally of 71.71 points at the moment, he will go into tonight’s game with a plank of 16.05 points to beat. He set the plank in Everton’s 1:1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers with a goal.
Even a draw will qualify the Russians for next summer’s World Cup in South Africa, but Bilyaletdinov, if he wants to advance in the rankings, still needs another big night.
