Despite Manchester City’s run of successful matches since the arrival of coach Mancini, Brazil star Robinho (right) is still far from his best form and is in a slow, but steady slide in the FTBL ranking.

Robinho is currently below 100 points in our system, at 94.03 points and has been out of the top 6 of our ranking of Brazilian forwards for 2 weeks running. He dropped more than 10 points in the last Premier League game against Blackburn Rovers, despite City’s the 4:1 win.

Robinho needs to begin scoring in order to improve his FTBL score and secure a permanent place in the first team. His plank in the coming game will amount to 3.145 points, which should easy to beat for him.
