In Barcelona’s trip to No. 5 Deportivo La Coruña tomorrow, one of the players to watch closely will be young striker Pedro (left), whom Guardiola has been trusting more and more recently; the 22-year-old’s FTBL score has been growing accordingly, to the current 76.17 points.

The trip to La Coruña will offer a realistic chance for Pedro to further add to his tally as he goes in with a plank of sixth tenths of a rating point to beat. The time spent on the pitch, together with the final result of the game, will also determine the size of the bonus Pedro earns in our system.

How much will Pedro’s FTBL score increase as a result of the game will be clear after the final whistle. We think it’s safe to bet he can pick up something in the neighborhood of 10 rating points.
