Monaco’s Brazil star Nene sat at the top of the FTBL ranking of Brazilian and French Ligue 1 midfielders just in late October. Now, his score of 70.57 points is not even enough for a place in the top 8 of our ranking of midfielders.

In the coming League 1 game against Sochaux, Nene will be given a very good chance to spruce up his numbers; his plank to beat will be a negative -5 points. This means his score could increase even in case of a loss. If Monaco win, Nene could add 18-20 points, and that should earn him a place back into the Top 23 of Brazilian midfielders.

Monaco have been fairly successful at home against Sochaux: 3 wins in the last 5 games. They will have a chance to add a 4th win on Saturday.
