2014/15 Co-Ord Round-up Part Five - 5th-8th
5th San Dimas High School (up one place on last season)
Perhaps a bit lucky to finish so high San Dimas bumped along in mid-table without really threatening to go further. Highlight of the season was finally adding the PCMT to the trophy cabinet after three losing finals. Attacking-wise this looks a good team on paper but didn't match those expectations in the scoring department. The defence, so solid in 2013/14, now looks in need of a serious overhaul if the luck is to continue.
Star Player: Saido Berahino (ten goals)
Disappointment: Does the manager know his best team?
6th Real Muppets (down one place)
Another nearly season for Ryan who led the league early on but finished trophyless for the seventh straight season. An eight-game losing run in November and December did for his hopes this time. Goals were the problem for the Muppets who forked out £20m on Mario Balotelli who looked like a man who'd forgotten how to play at times. Daniel Sturridge could have been the saviour but spent more time on the treatment table than the pitch.
Star Players: Laurent Koscielny (two goals, eight cleans) and Alberto Moreno (ten cleans)
Disappointment: Balotelli or Sturridge's lack of game time? Take your pick.
7th FCK2 (up four places)
After two years languishing in the reserves Harry Kane got his chance and grabbed it with both hands scoring 14 times. Danny Ings and Diafra Sakho were also useful acquisitions making up for Andy Carroll's continued absence. John Terry continued to roll back the years in defence providing a solid base for Kevin's team to build on. If there is an area to address in this squad it could be the midfield although Wilshere and Grealish show promise.
Star Player: John Terry (three goals, 14 cleans)
Disappointment: Not turning enough draws into wins
8th Aardvark Abacus (down four)
How the mighty have fallen. And continue to fall. The team to have won most WSFFL trophies have gone five years without one. And this finish is the team's lowest since we went to a 16 team league. Ady's team did lead the league for eight weeks and were second after week 16 but came down with the Christmas lights losing 12 of their last 18 games. What next? Maybe a clear-out of the old guard and some young blood is what's needed to lift them back up.
Star Player: Phil Jagielka (three goals, ten cleans)
Disappointment: Adebayor, Jovetic, Nastasic, Coates. £63.5m spent, seven 'counters' between them.
