Russian international Pavel Pogrebnyak helped Stuttgart continue their extraction from the relegation zone with one goal in a 3:1 hard-fought home win over champions Wolfsburg yesterday. He is now in the top 6 of the FTBL ranking of forwards in the Bundesliga.

Pogrebnyak scored in the 58th minute to pick up more than 11 rating points in the FTBL system and boost his overall score to 125.32 points.

The Russian international’s chance of advancing further in the next game look good: his plank to beat will be a lowly 0.81 points. He set the plank in the 0:4 loss to Bayer Leverkusen.
