Lille midfielder Yohan Cabaye (pictured) added more than 30 rating points in the FTBL system in the 4:0 trashing of AS Monaco in the French Ligue 1 after scoring one of the goals and thanks to an addition of 3 points for the 0:2 loss to Montpelier previously.
Cabaye now has a FTBL score of 123.21 points and trails Bordeaux’s Alou Diarra by just 0.24 points (Diarra has a score of 123.45 points). He is also now 2nd in our ranking of midfielders in the Ligue 1 and among French midfielders.
Yet, with a daunting plank of 25 rating points to beat in the game against Slavia Prague in the Europa League on December 17, Cabaye will be lucky if he can avoid a slump in the ranking. But if he ends up beating those considerable odds, a place in the World Top 23 cannot be ruled out.
