Real Madrid will travel to No.7 Athletic Bilbao on Sunday in the continuing chase after leaders Barcelona. Goalkeeper Iker Casillas will be in a tight spot, given even a goalless victory will still have the potential to cost him precious points in the FTBL system. A loss will sent him out of the top 3 of our world ranking.
Casillas will face a plank of 15.50 rating points to beat on Sunday. The plank was set in the Champions League group stage 3:1 win over Olympique Marseille. Now, only a saved penalty can help the Spain international avoid a slide into negative territory.
Casillas currently has 133.18 points. There is a good chance of him being overtaken by Chelsea’s Petr Cech (112.53 points). Cech will have an excellent opportunity to do so this weekend. If Madrid come out on top against Bilbao, and Chelsea likewise win, Casillas will drop.
