When No 5 Aston Villa take on No 4 Tottenham Hotspur in the English Premier League this coming Saturday, much for Spurs will be riding of the scoring-flair of striker Jermain Defoe, who the last time around scored 5 times as Spurs trounced Wigan Athletic 9:1. The 4th spot in the table will be at stake as well in the encounter.

Defoe, who has an overall FTBL score of 159.33 points at the moment, will break into the FTBL World Top 23, our list of the world’s top 23 players, if he scores at least a goal and Spurs win.

Defoe is now in the Top 23 of the English Premier League and is the top British striker at the moment, ahead of Manchester United’s Wayne Rooney (147.82 points).
