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

9th You Know Your Boston Rock FC (down seven places on last season)
Sheriff finishes outside the top five for only the second time in 11 seasons and is also without a trophy for the first time in five years. On bare figures though Boston Rock did ok but probably caught the worst of the fixture list. A tricky opening meant that the 'Sky Heroes' went seven without a win at the start of the season and that set the tone. Steven Taylor and Darren Bent were big misses through injury and Andy Carroll only started to look like a footballer in the last few weeks of the campaign. The rebuilding programme is under way with the boss looking for talented youth to mix with the experience.
Star Player: John Terry (six goals, 10 cleans)

10th The Cheese Makers (up four places on last season)
A first season for Matthew and he made a big improvement on previous efforts by this franchise. He unfortunately missed the first auction as the previous manager was 'doing a Steve Coppell' and resigned after two weeks. When Matthew did join he made a statement by breaking the transfer record for a midfielder when buying Juan Mata for £23.5m and also added Shane Long for £12.5m. His success was built on the foundations of a solid defence though and Matthew will be looking for a proven goalscorer to kick the team on next year as Mata and Yohan Cabaye will create plenty of chances.
Star Player: Tim Krul (12 cleans, one saved penalty)

11th The Dead Parrots (down one place)
Dean continues to bounce around lower mid-table (indeed he spent the last ten weeks in 11th place) but it looks like he may have to work hard to stay there. The Parrots may well lose top scorer Yakubu and Mr Reliable Kevin Davies while big signings Gareth Barry, Kenwyne Jones and Adel Taarabt haven't shown that they can step up to replace them. Dean does at least have Joe Hart and defenders such as Mike Williamson and Emmerson Boyce who can contribute but this team looks in need of an overhaul if it's not to slip into the clutches of the bottom four.
Star Player: Joe Hart (14 cleans)

12th Nil Satis Nisi Optimum (up four places)
After hitting rock-bottom last season Paul is back on the up. The fortunes of Nil Satis are invariably tied in with those of Everton and that might be why Paul was still on the bottom two at the start of the year. Michael Vorm was an excellent signing while Park Chu-Young wasn't. The main turning point came with the £13m signing of Nikica Jelavic in February. The Croatian banged in 10 goals in the last few weeks of the season and Paul will be excited about getting a whole campaign out of him. Tim Cahill had a lacklustre season though and Paul's priority will be finding backup for Jelavic.
Star Player: John Heitinga (two goals, 10 cleans)
