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

1st Trusted By Millions (up six places on last season)
When all around were losing their heads Beef kept his and was consistent at the right time to take his first title for 13 seasons. He only topped the table for five weeks but they were the last five. Trusted had lifted the Charity Shield in the first part of the season but were seven points behind with eight games to go. Seven of those games were won and the title was taken with a little to spare. With no outstanding player the load was shared and that might have been the difference between Beef and his rivals.
Star Players: Gary Cahill (one goal, 13 cleans) and Steven Gerrard (14 goals)
What if: They'd turned up in the Cup Final?

2nd Claymore Athletic FC (same)
A second title in three seasons seemed to be within Clive's reach with eight games left but with injuries to Wayne Rooney and Sergio Aguero playing a part those matches only yielded 11 points and Claymore let in Trusted. Defeat in the Charity Shield final to Beef's team means there will be some runners-up silverware in the groaning Claymore trophy cabinet but this will go down as a season of missed opportunities for Clive.
Star Player: Olivier Giroud (16 goals)
What if: Aguero and Rooney had stayed fit?

3rd The Cow-Faced Juniors (down two)
Chris's title defence got off to a sluggish start with Luis Suarez suspended but he was top at the midway point and had successfully retained the PCMT. That was followed by a run of just two wins in ten games and left too the CFJs far adrift for their late rally to have any impact. New £20m+ signings Mesut Ozil and Willian didn't really fire while Michu, who'd helped Chris to the top last year, spent most of the season on the treatment table.
Star Player: Luis Suarez (26 goals)
What if: Gareth Bale had stayed? ((c) Tim Sherwood)

4th Aardvark Abacus (same)
The Aardvarks were another team who topped the league in its early weeks only to fall away. Ady's dreadful run of four points out of 24 between October and December did for his challenge and a possible recovery was halted by six without a win in February and March. The restored Emmanuel Adebayor was the only real firepower in the team with Steven Jovetic hardly seeing action. The solid defensive base led by Vincent Kompany needs supporting with a cutting edge if Ady is to get back among the trophies next season.
Star Player: Wojcech Szczesny (11 cleans)
What if: Ady had a strike force to match his defence?
