Co-Ord Round-up Part Four - 1st-4th

1st You Know Your Boston Rock FC (up one place on 2008/09)
Our first ever treble winners. Five trophies out of the last six. Back-to-back Cup doubles. Six consecutive Cup finals. Equalling the league record of goals scored in a season - shall I stop there. It didn't appear to be the best of starts for Sheriff's men, just two wins out of the first eight matches, but boy did he get into a groove. The 'Sky Heroes' supremacy may be better judged by their 6-1 tonking of the Aardvarks in Week 28 rather than a three-point margin. We won't see a season like this again. Will we?
Star Player: Frank Lampard (19 goals)

2nd Aardvark Abacus (down one)
In the nine seasons of the 16-team league Ady's team have only once finished outside the top two. There was also a second consecutive PCMT runner-up plaque but that's little consolation to a team after back-to-back titles. £30.5m of Aardvark hard-earned went on Alberto Aquilani and Nikola Kalinic in the summer window for the princely return of one goal. There seems little wrong defensively with the 'Earth-Pigs' (taking Phil Jagielka from the Artisans looks a good purchase) but expect wallet-busting action if a proven goalscorer becomes available.
Star Players: Carlos Cuellar (one goal, 12 cleans) and Emmanuel Adebayor (13 goals)

3rd Trusted By Millions (same as last year)
Since winning the last 18-team title in 2000/1 Trusted have not finished higher than second or lower than 6th. Every year you feel like they will be major contenders but they manage to come up short. It was a ropey start to the season that did for Beef this time, managing only three victories and lying 12th a third of the way into the season. If Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres had managed more games than maybe TBM could have been top dogs again but is it that the back-up players are not up to the task?
Star Player: Fernando Torres (13 goals)

4th Real Muppets (up two)
The Muppets lost the same number of games as our champions but ten draws scuppered any chance of a second title in four seasons. Ryan's team didn't pick up a win in December and drew four of their last eight matches after briefly leading the league. Ryan couldn't seem to get the team all firing at the same time. Gaby Agbonlahor started hot and faded, Carlos Tevez came with a roar towards the end of the season, Ashley Cole came back from injury when Thomas Vermaelen was missing. Another team who needs to, and won't be afraid to, spend big on the right player at auction time.
Star Player: Carlos Tevez (20 goals)
