Werder Bremen’s Portuguese forward Hugo Almeida (pictured with the ball) has scored 3 goals in his last 3 games, adding more than 30 rating points to his FTBL score. He has a good opportunity to further rise in the ranking as the Germans take on Portuguese side CD Nacional in the Europa League this evening.

In the game Almeida will have to clear a bar of approximately 13 rating points. He set the plank in the 2:0 win over Austria Vienna in the same competition recently with a goal.

To continue to advance in the ranking, Almeida needs to score again tonight and play the entire game, if possible. In that case, he will stand to bag a solid bonus in our system, while his plank to beat in the following games will continue to fall.
