Co-Ord Round-up Part Two - 9th-12th

9th Claymore Athletic FC (down one place)
In the five years since Clive clinched back-to-back league titles his team have finished 6th, 10th, 9th, 8th and now 9th again. Claymore's points tallies in those seasons are 45, 39, 47, 43 and 44. There was little sign of the team breaking out of the mid-table morass this season despite Wayne Rooney's best efforts and also a steady back line including Tim Howard, Branislav Ivanovic and Gael Clichy. Something's missing to kick Clive back into contention. Can he solve that puzzle next season?
Star Player: Wayne Rooney (14 goals)

10th Athletico Phoenix (up three)
Brian came in after an enforced management change and didn't do half-badly, lifting this 'franchise' to its best position in the history of our 16-team league. The Phoenix were hampered by a long-term injury to top striker Robin van Persie and also the former incumbent who spent a packet on poor frontmen Ebanks-Blake, Benitez and Scotland. It will be interesting to see Brian's transfer policy develop and how he plans to build on this good start.
Star Player: Brad Friedel (12 cleans)

11th Mega Buck Bandits (up four)
Dave's got his team going back in the right direction after his worst-ever season last time out. Two dreadful runs stopped his season from being even better; one point from 21 at the start of the season, one point from 24 at the end. May have a windfall coming if he can't persuade talismanic midfielder Cesc Fabregas to stay but will need to invest better than the £11m spent on Alan Hutton or the £10.5m on David Healy to push for the top half next term
Star Player: Cesc Fabregas (12 goals)

12th Final Fantasy XI (up four)
Ceri matched her best finishing position in the last five seasons and picked up October's Manager of the Month award along the way. A run of 12 defeats in fifteen games through the winter stopped further improvement. Perhaps didn't get as much out of Andrei Arshavin as she might have liked and will need some support for Carlton Cole and a goalkeeper to keep the improvement going next season.
Star Player: Carlton Cole (eight goals)
