Brazil international Robinho made his return in the Premier League with Manchester City yesterday against Hull City after a four-month absence and, despite the draw, was convincing.

Nonetheless, the Brazilian star still incurred a loss of 9.11 rating points in the FTBL system for failing to score and dropped to 3rd place in our ranking of Brazilian forwards.

With a daunting plank of 25.85 rating points to beat in his next appearance, it is unlikely Robinho will improve his situation any time soon. In addition, he will face a plank of more than 10 rating points to beat in every one of the following 10 games. City have run up a series of 4 draws on the trot. Let’s home the return of the Brazilian will improve City’s overall results. That would allow him to at least avoid a further drop down the ranking.
