Co-Ord Round-up Part One - 13th-16th

13th Real Muppets (down ten places on last season)
A big drop for Ryan but there are mitigating circumstances. The Carlos Tevez affair deprived him of the league's top striker for the past two seasons for most of this campaign, Thomas Vermaelen missed the start of the season through injury and the unfortunate timing of our auctions meant he wasn't able to strengthen. Ryan made excellent signings in James McClean and the returning Paul Scholes but he needs to solve his striking problems as Gabby Agbonlahor, Nathan Delfouneso, Danny Sturridge and Fraizer Campbell have only shown flashes of the goalscoring form that Ryan needs to find.
Star Player: Thomas Vermaelen (five goals, nine clean sheets)

14th Mega Buck Bandits (down one)
Well at least Dave finished on a high! The Bandits had looked odds on favourites for bottom place but suddenly finished with three wins in a row, scoring 16 goals in the process. That was off the back of nine straight defeats. It was a tough season for Dave who spent just about the whole campaign in the bottom three. His squad was down to 17 after the summer clear-out and it looks like he may be in a similar situation this time round. Injuries to Charlie Adam and Antonio Valencia certainly didn't help but a combined £24m spent on Andre Santos and David Goodwillie was misguided at best.
Star Player: Steven Fletcher (10 goals)


15th Final Fantasy XI (same position)
Ceri had reached the heady heights of ninth position after week 11 but only three wins after November sees Final Fantasy treading water in the table. Ceri seems to be better spotting the players that other managers look over such as Demba Ba and Yaya Toure as her big-money signings, such as Andrei Arshavin and Connor Wickham failed to do the business. If Ba had ended the season in the goal-scoring form that he started then Final Fantasy may well have been a long way from bottom spot Angel Rangel and Gary Caldwell provided some good moments but this team needs more goals.
Star Player: Angel Rangel (one goal, 11 cleans)

16th York's Returning Glory (down four)
Julian props up the league for the fifth time in seven seasons. His was another campaign that petered out and the only week he was bottom was the 30th and last. York's are another team where big spend hasn't really come off with Fabian Delph, Craig Bellamy and Jay Bothroyd not really performing. Samir Nasri only really performed towards the end of the season and Julian had to look to clean sheets from the likes of Paddy Kenny and his QPR defenders to keep his season alive.  Without Peter Crouch it's hard to know where the goals would have come from.
Star Player: Peter Crouch (ten goals)
