We predict with near-certainty Barcelona’s Víctor Valdés to end 2009 as the world’s No.1 goalkeeper with an overall score of 137.93 points in our ranking.

Valdés’ main competitors have no chances, even on paper, to catch up or overtake him. Chelsea’s Petr Cech, who still has matches to play, will have to…score goals to have any chance of overtaking the Catalan. Cech has a score of 104.17 points at the moment. Another goalkeeper with still a match to play is Bordeaux’s Cédric Carrasso. With a score of 117.63 points at the moment, he will also need goals in order to mount any credible challenge in the FTBL system.
