As Barcelona increased their lead at the top of the table in La Liga to 5 points with a 2:0 away win against bottom-placed Xerez CD, Brazil international Dani Alves (pictured) added approximately 17 rating points in the FTBL system to move closer to the world’s top defender, Chelsea skipper John Terry.

Alves now has a score of 135.79 points and is hot on the heels of Terry, who tops the world ranking with 147.09 points.

Alves went into the game with a guaranteed bonus of 2.51 rating points and received the 14.60 points defenders of the winning team routinely receive for “clean” wins in our system.
