Sweden international Zlatan Ibrahimovic (center) scored the last goal in Barcelona’s hard-fought 3:1 away win at No. 5 Deportivo La Coruña yesterday in La Liga to collect more than 20 rating points in the FTBL system and return in the FTBL World Top 23, our list of the world’s top 23 players, with a score of 186.53 points.

He high yield for the Swede flows from the fact that he went into the game with a relatively low plank of just 6.5 rating points to beat. He set the plank in the 1:1 draw against Osasuna.

Ibrahimovic, who is now 3rd in the world ranking of forwards, will go into the crucial Champions League group stage game against Dynamo Kyiv with a plank of just 6 rating points to beat. He stands a realistic chance of clearing the 200-point mark, a level he last reached about a year ago.
