Co-Ord Round-up Part Three - 5th-8th

5th Real Muppets (up one place on last season)
Fifth place doesn't really do justice to Ryan's team as it was the lowest place they occupied all season. Indeed it might be one that got away for the Muppets as they collapsed with only eight points of the last 27 on offer. Danny Sturridge's injury didn't help but maybe the manager could alter his team a little more often.
Star Players: Laurent Koscielny (two goals, 16 cleans) and Danny Sturridge (18 goals)
What if: Sturridge had stayed healthy?

6th San Dimas High School (up three)
For a while my team seemed possible dark horses in the title race before falling away in the new year. Romelu Lukaku and Dejan Lovren had been scoring and stopping and I didn't have the squad depth to make up for their absences. Still, this was another season of progress and my highest points total for six seasons.
Star Players: Romelu Lukaku (14 goals), Dejan Lovren (two goals, 12 cleans)
What if: I'd splashed some of the San Dimas cash?

7th Cheese Makers (up seven)
A big improvement, a points record and a first top half finish for Matthew. All in all a decent season. The Cheesers big players Juan Mata and Shane Long took a while to get going and relied on a tough defence for much of their early success. It's possible this team needs another striker before they can kick on but don't rule it out.
Star Player: Jose Fonte (two goals, 13 cleans)
What if: Matthew had taken the £27m on offer for Marouane Fellaini?

8th Fred West Landscape Gardening XI (up seven)
This team are now on the way back. Bottom of the table after six weeks the 2010/11 champions had fallen as far as they could go. And then they bounced. The manager has done well offloading unwanted players (Welbeck, Vidic, Evra) for good money and his £71m spending spree is beginning to pay dividends. The league has been warned.
Star Players: Wilfried Bony (15 goals) and Hugo Lloris (15 cleans)
What if: Fernando Torres remembered how to be a footballer?
