5th: The Cow-Faced Juniors (up four places on last season)
What I said last season - The manager will be reviewing his transfer policy before auction night.
What happened - Chris signed up his sons, Luc and Noah, to give him a hand with the hot-seat. This season's purchases were a bit more restrained, Virgil van Dijk a great acquisition, and the team picked up the Charity Shield and went on a late season charge. They looked set for second at one point but fell away. Next season could see them back at the sharp end.
Star Player: Virgil van Dijk (three goals, eight cleans)
6th: Aardvark Abacus (up two)
What I said last season - Maybe a clear-out of the old guard and some young blood is what's needed to lift them back up.
What happened - Adebayor, Jovetic, Nastasic, Coates. All cleared out. Attacking replacements (Son, Niasse) don't seem a huge upgrade at the moment though. Ady's team bumped around between 4th and 7th just about all season based on an excellent defence. He'll know where he needs a touch of class to kick on.
Star Player: Nacho Monreal (14 cleans)
7th: San Dimas High School (down two)
What I said last season - Does the manager know his best team?
What happened - I knew my best team but ultimately it wasn't good enough. Six points behind at the half way mark and the the PCMT retained the scene was set for kicking on for a title charge. Vardy and Lukaku went quiet and the defence wasn't championship class. Work to do in that department for the boss.
Star Player: Jamie Vardy (17 goals)
8th: Cheese Makers (up five)
What I said last season - They'll be in the top half mix again next season if the strikers click.
What happened - Something clicked but it was a good all-round performance from Matthew's team. Huth was the star man but there were important contributions from Shane Long, Jose Fonte and Manuel Lanzini too. Can the Cheesers get their name on a trophy next term?
Star Player: Robert Huth (three goals, 11 cleans)
